I can't remember seeing a previous situation where STH's pay less for their tickets than everyone else. Presumably that's what Spurs wanted to offer to their STH and so the same price structure applies to us. There are a few Spurs STH's that will have to give up their seats too to allow for our allocation. http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/first-team/fixtures/spurs-v-wycombe-wanderers-fa-cup-120117/
Thats a shame, but I guess understandable. Just have to get a replay or a prime draw in Rd 5 instead.
Chosen charity is http://www.shekinah.co.uk/raising-money/. Its a local charity doing some fantastic work to give young men (mainly) who have taken a wrong turn in life (drink, drugs, ex-offenders etc) a chance to get back into main stream society.
Your call entirely, Eric, but if you would like to make it up to a tenner, I will happily match it.
Good on them offering cheaper tickets to season ticket holders.
They are the ones who put there money up year after year.
And for all the moans about how these non holders can't make it, commitments etc, it's funny how they can "suddenly" make an exception for this type of game
It's ironic we are debating the size of the ticket allocation given this article:- http://www.fsf.org.uk/latest-news/view/fa-cup-away-allocations-must-be-respected
Spurs comai ING about getting a small allocation at the Emirates in 2014!
However, I note the following in the article:-
According the to FA Cup rules and in particular section 21. (a) the distribution of tickets should be as follows:
It seems to me that the requirements for full segregation give teams enough room for wiggle if the choose to do so.
I would also like to know what is the current capacity of White House Lane. It's given on Wikipedia as 36, 284 but that was before any building work began. I seem to remember reading somewhere that upto 8000 seats would be removed during the building process but don't recall where.
If that's true the current capacity is maybe closer to 28,000 meaning our allocation of 4035 is not far short of the 15℅.

Did hear it the other day..unsure which club did it.
Notice they do a family offer on the day for £40..wonder if the same applies for wwfc fans.

"In all matches preceding the Semi-Finals, the Visiting Club shall have the right to claim up to 15% of all accommodation for which tickets are issued providing these tickets are in a fully segregated area" - See more at: http://www.fsf.org.uk/latest-news/view/fa-cup-away-allocations-must-be-respected#sthash.o6W8qHvh.dpuf

£10 donated - a worthy choice
well if the capacity is 28,000, where did they 31,284 sit v Aston Villa.
@Twizz I think the capacity is approx 32,000, no doubt someone else will have an exact figure
Thanks Eric. i am having browser problems, so cant get payment through, but I'll match tomorrow.
Enjoy the game.
@Doob It's really hard to find an actual figure. The attendance V Aston Villa has been reported as 31182, not the same as capacity I realise. http://www.soccer-blogger.com/2017/01/08/tottenham-vs-aston-villa-2-0-2017-goals-davies-son-31182-attendance/
I did find the article which suggests upto 8000 seats might have to be removed. http://dailym.ai/1Vmz3oI
Anyway bottom line is we get 4035. Probably that's less than 15%, but what can we do?
Just to confirm Eric, my donation now done. Cheers.
