Ground Capacity - 3,497
Average capacity 2008 - 842

Are we going to get the rest of the tickets then seen as though they only sell that many?

2010 there tonight about 80 away fans ,see you all next week im sure ticket arrangements will be anounced soon

Maybe move it away from your home ground so you get more money out of us

If they move it away from fleetwood then I wont be going, Looking forward to going to a non league ground again. Plus a night in Blackpool

how many would you expect to bring?

1,200 +

We'll sell whatever you give us I'd imagine.

We have Leeds on Saturday and because we took nearly three thousand last season they (Ken Bates) think they can charge us £27 for third tier football, loads of people have said fook that, I'd rather go to Fleetwood!!

Looking forward to the visit of Hartlepool, one of the biggest matches in Fleetwood's history. We've got a compact ground centrally siuated in the town. Good "Free Parking" round the ground, so shouldn't be a problem if you come by car. Just be careful not to block anydody's driveway thanks. Now that the "Memorial North Stand" is complete I would have thought the capacity will be around 4,300 and in my view will be segregated though don't know this for certain. The North Stand is terraced for 2,000. Hartlepool will have the "Percy Ronson South Stand" end.

This link will show a panoramic picture of the ground looking towards the North Stand from the Percy Ronson Stand. Taken a few days before the season started the North Stand was still under construction. On the right of the photo is where the new 1200 seater stand will be situated.

Hope we can give you a game

Looks like a really nice little ground does that. I'm gutted i cant make it. However, everyone i know who is going is staying over in Blackpool so i dont think there will be a massive problem with cars blocking drives etc

i just noticed on bbc website the game is a 2pm kick off!!!

Hey, you're right and all, we're the only ones kicking off early - could that be on Police advice or what ?

This is from Fleetwood's official site: you want the third article down on the home page.

We're going to be featured on ITV's Cup Highlights Programme.

Nope. Someone forgot to put the clock's forward in Fleetwood.

Inadequate floodlights possibly.

Surely not.

Yeah exactly.

Brand new floodlights and they are up to Football League Standards. After a recent league match somebody forgot to turn off the lights and they were still on at 8.30am the following day. Don't think we can afford the leckie bill ! ! !

Is he the bloke who invented the gas tab lighter??

And will his daughter, Upyer, be at the game as guest of honour??

Will she be sitting in the stand, or standing on the terraces??

So do we know how many tickets we'll be getting yet then?

Get Fookin' in!! I've been waiting 40 years and more to hear that!

Fa rules restrict a team moving a game to another ground, nowadays for financial reasons, can only be moved on safety grounds/police advice. So even if the ground held only 500, with an away end of 50 it would have to be held there. Though temporary stands meeting safety rules could be erected.

i believe the capacity will be decided in the next 24 hours.Should be 4000 minimum i hope ,we,ll sell 3000 easy so id guess youd get anything between 500 and 1000

Bloody season ticket holders eh?

I'll have to take my chances that there are some left when they go on general sale!

should have jumped at the offer at the start of the season

Sh!t think i might have sparked a whole new topic/argument off here

I think you'll be fine, can't see many more than 1000 wanting to go so aslong as you don't wait till the last minute.

I'm looking forward to this one more than Leeds on Saturday.

You're probably right.

But if there are any season ticket holders who aren't going...

The FA Cup could well turn out to be a little gold mine, 1st round prize money 20k + share of the poxy gate receipts and replay gare receipts, 2nd round TV highlights money 7,500 quid and 30k proze money for the winner. Then the prize money & the televised games money gets serious with 70k for the winners and here is a list of tv money.

Round / Live Broadcast / Live Replay Broadcast / Highlights

First Round Proper £75,000 / £37,500 / £7,500

Second Round Proper £80,000 / £40,000 £7,500

I've just found out a fellow Poolie is going next Saturday and I will be accepting his kind invitation to go - haven't been to a Cup game since Brentford (a) under Cooper when my Kiwi cousin went.

I can't believe they aren't doing any prices for students though. What's the point of having this special status if you can't claim the benefit of it ?

Mind you Fleetwood must be taking the proverbial with the name of their ground, musn't they - HIGHBURY stadium.

It's only 12 quid to get in you tight arsed sod.

Paul Calf had the best idea there I thought.

Well the credit crunch is biting after all !

Turn up wearing short pants, use your mothers lip stick to make fake acne & dat to the bloke on front of you "Daddy I want a ice cream" that will get you in for half bat.

Yeah... he always caled them ...a bag o shite,

...You'll always have 'special' staus.

Very drole.

I'm not a ST holder!! I'll have to queue up on Wednesday morning!!!

Oy! French student!

Either "très drole" or "very droll", please.
I'm keeping a close eye on you!!

If you must know, the French for "droll" must actually have a circumflex accent on top of the o in the middle.

So that's why you get for trying to be a nitpicker.

ô requires 2 keystrokes. For future information be informed that I can't be arsed to do them.
