Cheap Tickets lifted gate at Southampton

Last week Bulls News highlighted the difference in admission prices for the Carling Cup games at Hereford and Southampton.

The price at Edgar Street was the same as for League games except that no cheap tickets were available for children.

However at Southampton prices were reduced (Adults £10, Concessions £5, Under 12's £1) for the visit of Yeovil.

Hereford's gate was disappointing. Only 3404 went through the turnstiles which included 657 from Coventry.

Southampton's was surprisingly high. 20653 watched the game including just under 2,000 from Yeovil.

How many of the Southampton gate were attracted by the low price is unknown, but their gate was the one of the highest for the Carling Cup anywhere this week.
