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. |  | | |  |

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. |  |

Col Who will be 10k at best.
McDons will still be well over 20k. |  |

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 ! |  |

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]

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! |  | | |

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 |  | | |

£15 is stupid pricing for a game like this. |  |

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

£15 + pointless game + parking + fuel
I'm staying at home for this one. Can't justify it at the moment. |  |

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. | | | |

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. |  | | |

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. | | | |
