But those ticket prices are encouraged by the FA. Newcastle charged Oxford fans £10 last Saturday and did kids for a quid for home fans. The game was sold out with over 3700 from Oxford.I

Many Wolves fans rightly stayed away from their replay with Man U the other week when United were charging £43 a pop.

FA Cup prices are fixed with agreement between both teams. Surely the best outcome for any game is to be playing in front of a big crowd.

How many will be at Anfield for the replay?

No sale on that SP - the FA disrespects itself with an unwillingness to change and adapt. Cup replays are absolutely stupid and everyone knows it.

And to be fair Klopp tried to win it late on with the subs on Sunday to avoid this scenario. And I also think before throwing too many stones we should see what others do next week. At least Klopp is not conning the paying public as to what is happening. Would love the FA to come and try and fine him for this. They haven't got a leg to stand on.

But I think Shrewsbury has to agree to the fee structure, no? If they wanted a higher price they could say so, but yes, fans wont wish to pay more to watch the kids. From a fans perspective what Klopp has decided is probably not the best, but if he says his players and himself need a break and they have already planned it as such, I fully understand.

I'm sure Klopp and the players had already made plans with their Families for the winter break, well before we even started in The FA Cup.

It's The FA who have caused this mess in not communicating with The PL about the winter break before the start of the season. There should have been an agreement beforehand for both authorities to honour the break. The FA should have made arrangements with the various International bodies whose Countries are playing International Friendlies at the end of March to not pick any players whose clubs are involved in any games in this period. The FA could then use that 2 week period between weekend of 21/22 March to 04/05 April.

Are you serious, why would they accept?

Yup!

Now I wonder whether the young guns will get to play the next round too.

Would be hilarious if they went to Stamford Bridge and wiped the floor with Chelski.
