We didn't play our strongest team, we played our strongest available team.
You assume this is regarding ticket prices yet he doesn’t mention that but does mention the game not being televised.
What part of us giving them £35,000 after the game are you not understanding? We gave them our share of the gate receipts. We could have kept the prices the same and the chances are they wouldn’t have gotten anymore than that.
There is no argument about what line up we fielded with regards to ticket prices because we gave them the difference.
Did they complain about ticket prices due to not playing our strongest line up? NO
Did they blame us for the game not being televised and losing money that way? YES
If they were pissed about the ticket prices then they’d have no doubt said so. But because we gave them that £35k, they can only complain about it not being on TV.
Are you going to provide any quotes that say the point was about ticket prices?...assuming you can do that properly because you can’t seem to when quoting someone on here.
Understand?
They have said so. I provided the quote and explained what it was about.
I'm not going to dispute the amount we gave them but obviously it wasn't enough to shut them up. They clearly expected to make a lot more from the tie so off they went crying to the FA, who dismissed their case as you would expect. They didn't have a leg to stand on.
