Expensive prices for the home tie.

I think there will be around 20k (if that) considering there are rail strikes too.

BBC reporting we won’t have to pay to use the stadium in this competition as it didn’t exist when the contract was drawn up so it will be subsidised by the taxpayer.

I think that's very one sided reporting there from the BBC.

The matches we play probably won't be covered by the agreement (there's a fee for any home match above a certain number), it's the prize money/additional revenue we won't have to pay a share of.

I hope we use Rangers 2-0 loss to Union St-Gilloise from the other day in CL qualification as a reminder to take this game seriously. I know that Union are no slouches, nevertheless, rangers will have fancied themselves to get through this round. They're in trouble now. Moyesie needs to field as strong a side as he can.

Wouldn't had minded paying £20 but my seat is £30 and with a strike going on too. I'm disappointed with the pricing. Will give this a miss. Shame with the cost of living going up gonna have to be a bit more careful with money.

Seems expensive for a game that will likely make an early League cup game look exciting by comparison..

Surely there will be more than that.

It is a very important game for our season and not a forgone conclusion by any means, see Rangers.

Has anyone been on the site recently to see how many tickets are left?

There is a separate Tube and Overground strike on Friday 19th. Whether it will effect the lines on evening of the 18th will be known closer to the time, unless anyone can provide any further details.

Yes, it's expensive. There's a rail strike scheduled. Since relocating access to home fixtures isheavily dependent upon rail travel

Not everyone is loaded at the moment, nor will the club be showcasing many new signings and Viborg are a team few of our supporters will have heard of.

It's an own goal by the club. They could have charged a £5 with an option to donate to a local charity.

Our supporters, like everyone else are being hit with huge cost of living increases.

A goodwill gesture from the club would have gone a long way.If the game is televised, I'd be surprised to see upwards of 10,000 attend, and that's a real shame for Viborgs players and supporters.

What do people think it will be like driving from Essex to the game via the A13. Wondering if coming into to town instead of out will mean I miss a large share of the traffic?

For those who drive normally where do you park? If it’s in Westfield how do you find the traffic around there generally for a mid week game?

There is still huge amounts of availability so hoping to brave the travel problems and sit in a different area to where I have before.

They have been pretty good with their pricing of cup games since we moved but for me this is the first time they have completely got it wrong and that is why I had decided not to go even before the rail strike announcement. I can only think someone was drunk with the euphoria of getting to the Europa Semi when they came up with this pricing structure. Should be £10 all seats against that opposition at this stage.

totally agree £10 a ticket. I have bought mine before I realised there is a train strike. not sure I can be bothered to go now. I reckon 15k attendance if lucky. shame the club couldnt ask to move it to weds as a one off due to strikes or at least try. we all know they dont care for the fans

Wont be a problem driving in - might be slightly busier as tube strike but no issues - easier to drive here than to Upton Park tbf
