Not good for our club though With a sub 1000 gate expected.



Take out 20% VAT together with our travel costs and referees, plus the big expense with designated grounds of stewarding and there won’t be a lot left to share

£12 admission and £10 coach travel put on by the club you can’t argue with that at all. Well done to the club for arranging a fair price to knocking Halifax down from £20 to £12.

Not too impressed with the idea of segregation and seating but it’s not surprising considering their ground is a former league ground. Would be something if we filled the 800 allocation though!

It appears that there may only be one stand open, so I guess we will just be allocated a section of it.
I have to say John I think the 2 teams have got it spot on with the £12 admission. Halifax will get 2000+ for league games but cup games less than half of that. In the Trophy this year there were only 700 odd against Wrexham, a team up at their level. Bearing that in mind nowhere near that amount would venture out and pay £20 to watch them play against a team they may not have even heard of and who they would expect to beat easily. Reducing it could save a family 30 odd quid and be the difference between them coming and not. If there are a thousand there it will be justified.

All our cup matches have been priced at £12 this season , the main stand holds about 4000 seats, so there will be plenty of room
Looking forward to a keenly fought game and a decent away following

I wonder just how many Yeltz fans will travel to Halifax? If we took over a 100 to Maidenhead on a cold Tuesday night i think we could expect 250-300 travelling supporters. 260odd mile found trip. Good news on the reduced admission and stuff sharing the pot, we'll have the winnings.

Did I read right? The tie has to be decided on the night, no replay?

Yes, the 3rd Round onwards is one game only to a finish on the day. The Semi Finals are two legged.

Would be nice if we did take that many. I suspect it's been many a moon ago though since that many went to a distant away game.

First time poster here! Onto the third coach for Halifax and pleased to say I’m going up for my second Yeltz away day! (First being the 6-0 win against Cradley in pre season)
