Saints Keep Ticket Prices Low For Arsenal FA Cup Tie
Thursday, 19th Jan 2017 11:58

Saints have kept up their policy of keeping prices affordable for cup ties when Arsenal visit in the 4th round of the FA Cup of 28th January.

After silencing the Canaries Saints now have to spike the Gunners in the 4th round in a game that will be played at 5.30pm on Saturday 28th January.

With the tie being televised and on a Saturday evening not to mention the poor form at present there are plenty of excuses that Saints fans can use for not going to this game.

However one of those excuses won't be money with ticket pries once again very cheap.

Adult prices are £15, Concessions (18-21 and over 65) are £12 and under 18's £8, good value to see if Saints can beat the Gunners in the FA cup as well as in the League cup in the same season.

For those looking for omens back in 1979 Saints reached the League Cup Final and a few days later played Arsenal at the Dell in the FA Cup, this season the Gunners will visit only a few days after our trip to Liverpool, perhaps we will once again have a Wembley date booked by then.

Due to competition regulations meaning that Arsenal can have more tickets than for a normal league game, some Season Ticket holders will be displaced from their usual seat in order to accommodate the allocation given to Arsenal. The following seats will be unavailable for purchase:

Block 41
Rows A-H, seats 1059-1069
Rows J-P, seats 1068+1069
Rows Q-OO, seats 1064-1072

Block 42
Rows A-OO, seats 1073-1103

Displaced Season Ticket holders can purchase in the above window, and will also have an exclusive period to purchase an alternative seat between 9am and 12pm on Monday 23rd January, meaning they can have first grabs at decent seats not purchased by season ticket holders.

Tickets will go on sale in the following order:

Thursday 19th January (9am GMT): Season Ticket holders
Monday 23rd January (12pm GMT): 2016/17 Official Members
Tuesday 24th January (9am GMT): General sale

SanMarco added 08:32 - Jan 20 If they do Sonic at least we won't have to worry about the price of 5th round tickets...

SaintBrock added 20:02 - Jan 20 In fact these prices are extortionate for an U23 game. Depends how you look at it really, Nick?

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
