Kidderminster unhappy with Sunderland after being asked to pay in advance ...

for extra Cup tickets

Kidderminster Harriers are involved in a huge row with Sunderland who are holding them to ransom over their FA Cup fourth-round tickets.
The Barclays Premier League club are refusing to hand the Conference side more than 3,000 tickets for the match at the Stadium of Light unless they guarantee them money.
Kidderminster sold 1,200 tickets to season ticket holders on Thursday but find themselves in the untested waters of facing a top flight side in a 49,000-seater stadium.
rest here ... albeit THE DAILY FAIL

Maybe it's just me being daft, but it's hardly gonna sell out, why not give them as many tickets as they want at knock down prices, let some clubs like these enjoy themselves.

The prem clubs already screw all the other clubs over with all the tv, and clubs like this scrimp by...Let them enjoy their day.

 

They've gave us an estimate from anywhere between 900-10,000 fans showing up. Very helpful.

 

My thoughts exactly

 

They can't even get 2,000 supporters for home games, so who the hell are these extra 8,000 people who want tickets..

 

I'm not the charitable kind. If they won't pay up front **** them.

Christmas is over people and this is a business.

 

Let them eat cake I say!

 

Its their cup final mate, same as Hartlepool and Carlisle. Can't understand why they want to go, its only a stupid cup competition.

 

What would you know about cup competitions like?

 

I'm going mate!!!!!!!!!

I've decided to stop on after the semi-final and see us progress to the 5th round of the FA Cup ........... canny

 

I'd suggest that we just give them a 10k slot and let them pay on the turnstiles but the mags might fancy a bit cup football for once in their lives and be tempted to breach the peace in the barbaric way they like to.

 

A thread about tickets for Kidderminster turns into a thread about barbaric mags.

 

Not even the baldy Mag who turned up for that match at Norwich would be stupid enough to think they can cheer Kiddie to a glorious victory

 

Wouldn't they?

 

Well, they`re never far away are they really?

 

Bit of a storm in a teacup but I thought we were a bigger club than that.

 

Bait taken

You have got form for joining away fans at sol/roker park. Shame for Kidderminster we have to bare that sort of thing in mind.

 

We are quite the feral bunch so it would seem

 

Gillingham. Don't know of any more?

 

Forest when they last played at the SOL.
