Tommygilf Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 7 hours ago, Bedfordshire Bronco said: Kids day so might balance out Surprised they sold out the Cariboa cup game by the way £15 tickets. They did it last year too for this round of the Carabao Cup against Crewe. There is huge latent demand for LUFC tickets, a max capacity 29,000 crowd (one of the ends was closed for maintainance) saw LUFC play Serie B Cagliari in Pre-season a few weeks ago. For most non-members/Season ticket holders, these might be the only games you can see LUFC live this season; so people are willing to make the effort on a weekday night. Add to that the pricing is such that the likes of my mum are going and there's your sell out of home tickets for a second round league cup game against League 1 opposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the League Cup, like the FA Cup, you have to make more tickets available for away fans than in the league as well so if, say, you have a reasonably local team looking for a bit of a giant killing then that's a pretty easy sell too. My new metric for ticket prices though is: "Cheap enough for Tommy's mum." Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Actually I think we'll see an interesting thing tonight, especially with the £5 kids offer at Headingley, of Grandparents and kids at Headingley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loiner Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Should be a tight game but think the Giants will prevail. Our run has to end sometime and couldn't think of a better team to lose to. Giants by 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
