A massive match for Truro, a midweek replay would be a good test of the ground completists amongst us though! Devon in August is more appealing than Cornwall in October/November...
Due to be coming back from near Truro on Tuesday 14th, may have to start back later than planned
Would imagine with Cornish folk based in London, the away turn out will be around 1000.
Even with that I doubt we'll break the 5000 in total.
Already thinking if it is more than £10 I'm not going.
So, if its £10 you'll go and if its £11 you wont......odd- just what a football club needs - loyal fans like you.
Loyal fans like me that have a season ticket and have been to every home game this season?
Not good enough - unless you're also giving 50% of your income to Valley Gold and have also given over your first born to the club as a bonded slave.
Utterly unreasonable of you to feel you might have something better to do with your money than pay to watch a third tier reserve team play a bunch of amateurs.

Are you encouraging Charlton fans to give Roland more of their hard earned ?
At least in the FA Cup, only a third of the gate money goes to Roland. Or, at least my understanding was that it used to be a third for each club and a third for the FA. I could be well out of date.
Gotta laugh. We took 200 to Walsall the other night. I've already read about 5,000 say 'wished it was away'!
Also bit out of order this comment to those that would of gone or will go to the replay. They would of been either spending nearly £100 on the train , 16 1/2 hours on the coach there or 6+ hours driving there and 6+ back. Maybe half of us who said we'd go might not of done after thinking about it. This game is in between Bradford and Shrewsbury I know at least 10 of our lot doing both games if Shrewsbury is on. So if a few were to of given truro away a miss because of costs can you blame them
TV prefer to rock up at a small ground and interview a postman.
£10 is the maximum that should be charged. CAFC can influence price by doing the right thing and offering them the net profit from the game. It is the least they can do if they are travelling all this way to give our reserves a run out.

didn't the FA set £10 as the minimum a couple of years ago? I agree too with giving Truro the net of the receipts. Not as if Roland needs it.

At last in the FA Cup, only a third of the gate money goes to Roland. Or, at least my understanding was that it used to be a third for each club and a third for the FA. I could be well out of date.
I think non league clubs get a bigger share of the gate money.
Some actual facts: Up until the Third Round Proper, net match receipts are divided equally between the competing clubs; unless it's a replay in which case the FA takes 5%. It gets (much) more complicated after that - with a "pool" which is divvied up to League Clubs after the competition. The FA's 5% goes to the non-league clubs which featured in the First Round Proper.
Allowable deductions for expenses include the away club's travel/hotel expenses.
Regarding ticket prices. It is now the sole responsibility of the home club to set the ticket price - the away team get no say in the matter. The FA have set a minimum of £10 for regular adult admission. So if the price is more than £10, it was Charlton's decision.
Of interest, is that the Ref gets a match fee of £310. Plus expenses of 40p per mile but, if a hotel stay is necessary, not more than £100 - which seems a bit light - especially for London. Assistants get £155 and the fourth official £80 (or £145 if on the national list). Why of interest? Well the rules are silent on whether the fourth official gets a bonus if the ref gets clouted by Josh at the start of the second half.
ETA: The Ref's fee goes up to a whopping £375 for the Final. Oh, plus a souvenir medal! I wouldn't get out of bed for that sort of money.
I think this is an ideal opportunity for the SMT to botch another bit of marketing as well as getting shot of the scones sitting in a cupboard since the cancelled Peterborough game, by welcoming the first club from Cornwall to reach the 1st round proper in years, and making it Devonshire Cream Tea day.
We haven’t been embarrassed on tele for a while now, it’s well overdue.
Can Truro be the 2017 Northwich Victoria?
I genuinely think this is a game we should throw our first team into as a confidence booster... Smash Truro into a shivering mess on the floor.
Or as will likely happen, lose 1-0 and Truro get a reward for their journey.
We need our players scoring in every game, as many as we can to ensure the squad can both score in pressurised situations and they can keep their fitness up to ensure they are always able to match their opponents fitness levels.

God knows what they will think of our pasties. I think they would rather eat their own head!
