Pay what you want and sit where you want. Does that mean anyone could gain entrance to Mansfield against Gateshead for just a penny!?

I think Radiohead did something similar where you could download an album for whatever you thought it was worth, and the average paid was about £5. Some did pay a penny, others paid the full retail price. If they get an extra 1000 who pay on average about half price, might be worthwhile doing. I like to see clubs try new things to encourage more fans, but they have to hope they at least win to try and get those fans back a second time!

They're going to lose a fortune. What have season ticket holders to say about this?

Sounds a bloody good job there were FANS who would donate £50 to watch as there were piss takers paying 3 pence! Worse than freebies what an insult.

The £50 was for a family, You can buy family tickets for £50.

Pictures from the game. Shame we couldn't do something like this would get a full capacity, if we win it would get a fair few people to stick and watch us? even if we lose maybe a few will still stick and watch us. i red somewhere Mansfield made a nice profit and didn't lose out on money. Enjoyable for the players to play in front of a nice large crowd.

I honestly don't think we could fill the ground if we did something similar. For whatever reason, there just doesn't seem the support. Mansfield is a much bigger catchment and has a lot more history as a league club. I don't think that Harriers have that kind of support. How many went to Wembley 3 years ago and have never been to Aggborough since. Or Coventry 12 months ago for that matter.

Lucky they didn't ask people to pay what they thought the game was worth at the end of the game :)

4000 at av 4.00 per head =20'000
1'500 at av 13.00 per head =19'500
