I think your thinking of gate money there Riv, the away team gets 30% of the gate money (I believe).

cheers crazee, just been on the brum website and they say they offered 4000 tickets but Torquay rejected that and only asked for 1000, brum kept another 1000 back just in case and the last 500 of those sold in 20 mins this morning, looks like torquay will be taking 2000 kids coz its kids for a quid night lol

Thats crazy , why would torquay reject the chance for more tickets. Birmingham will never sell all their ground to their own fans. And there are torquay fans who are dissapointed they havent got tickets.

squiz, the game is expected to be a seel out, 32,000 for a cup game......and the TUFC chairman has held his hands up and admitted he got it completely wrong, even some season ticket holders at plainmoor have missed out on tickets
the chairman does say though, and i quote " i'll make sure i get it right for the 5th round v's reading or WBA" lolol as if torquay are gunna win!!!!
