Decision made for me... I won't be going as I have a day at the test @ the real Old Trafford..... I will be a twitter follower though!
Why would any football fan let their side down by not going to watch them in a huge game, because they have issues with the home team?
How do you think your lads will feel when they run out, first game of the season, new players, new kits, new managers effectively, to look round and see only half of their usual support at a ground 5 miles away from Northwich? And then if they lose they will probably be destroyed by some people on here for not trying hard enough.

I won't be attending, however I am out of the country at the time 
Not sure what decision I might have made if I had been in a position to go however. I can understand those who prefer not to attend out of principle, but I also agree with Ste's point to some extent, in that getting behind the lads in the competition is important.
I think Mark and Blackie have it about right; support the team on the day, pay the admission ( we get a third of the gate after all) but no more. Eat pre-match, drink elsewhere and leave the Golden Goal & 50/50 tickets for another day perhaps?

I would want another person to check the gate receipts though.

The team deserve all the support they can get.
Vics have to split the money 3 ways so we still get our share, and progression brings big increases in prize money.
So get yourselves down there, get behind the boys, don't spend anything you don't have to and let's put these conning, bullshitting bunch where they belong.....out of the fa cup!!

And that is exactly the best way to do it!

Generating interest already.
Perhaps the opportunity to tell the true story to a wider audience ?

You'll have to confirm the finer details with Colin the next time he posts (in peace) on the Witton forum, but I think I read a while ago that Vics had a agreed a share of refreshment profits. Can't recall the source, not necessarily an official one. If it does turn out to indeed be the case, it's not the greatest deal negotiated by Barnton, you'd have thought?

Barnton have made many steps forward in the last decade and I commend them for that. Hopefully the latest one doesn't turn out to be a step back ultimately. ...... Time will tell I guess.

£6 admission fee is all that I will be spending on that day. Anything else, football club or cricket club, they can shove up where the sun don't shine!!
