Colchester ticket sales 19:04 - Aug 7 with 2791 views | LeistonBlue | Looking at the website it seems that ticket sales for the Colchester game are very low indeed. Anybody else slightly surprised at this given the current feel good factor around the club and the fact it is against a local side? I’d have thought it would have got a significantly bigger crowd than equivalent games in previous years but it doesn’t seem like they’ll be the case. |  | | |  |
Colchester ticket sales on 19:11 - Aug 7 with 2717 views | PioneerBlue | No. Mid week, very early in season in a non event tournament! and many many people are on holiday over these weeks. Wouldn’t surprise if the crowd looked low v MKD too. I know 6 people that are missing that game alone, all ST holders. |  |

Colchester ticket sales on 19:46 - Aug 7 with 2586 views | ArnieM | Peoples incomes are being severely stretched now. Higher interest rates , mortgages going up , energy fuel vist going through the bloody roof (profiteering bas yards ), food costs going up daily…. So if a fans disposable income (What’s left of it ) becomes a choice between a Town league game or a Micky mouse cup competition which is essentially a training run for the 2nd string, I guess people will plumb for the next league game ! |  |

Colchester ticket sales on 20:36 - Aug 7 with 2434 views | Freddies_Ears | It is a 1st round League Cup game. Anything over 4k is likely to be the biggest crowd of the round [Post edited 7 Aug 2022 20:37]

Colchester ticket sales on 07:37 - Aug 8 with 1861 views | homer_123 | Nope. Inflation, cost of living plus a mickey mouse cup at an awful ground. Suspect many are sensibly picking and choosing which matches to attend. |  |

The leg-room's a bit tight in the away section, but all in all the ground's not too bad! |  | |  |

Colchester ticket sales on 08:04 - Aug 8 with 1693 views | norfsufblue | If it was £5 fir ST holders I'd be there but £15 + fuel from North Suffolk makes it ridiculously expensive for a nothing game imo |  | |  |

No....I may have made a minor error in my OP but in true current climate style, I'm doubling down. |  |

Still hungover I reckon. Anyway had it been away we would’ve sold out our allocation I’m sure. |  |

Agreed. The League Cup has been a great competition in recent years. It's been rejuvenated whilst sadly the FA Cup has declined considerably. |  | |  |
Colchester ticket sales on 09:40 - Aug 8 with 1402 views | Wickets | As we have made little or no effort in these games I'm not really surprised but having said that I'm going and I have not been to cup games for a couple of years . Please Please KM can we take it seriously. |  | |  |
Colchester ticket sales on 10:37 - Aug 8 with 1275 views | hillbillies | Imagine it’s cost which has put people off. When we played them in Round 2 in 2008, it was a crowd of over 17,000. Imagine it’ll be more around the 10,000 mark tomorrow which is slightly disappointing. Think Col U have sold 1,300 so far. |  | |  |

I'd forgotten about that game. Colchester had beaten Town 2-0 only four months earlier in the league, their last ever win in the Championship. Lisbie had just switched to Town. |  | |  |
