Manchester United's goalless draw against Cambridge United in the FA Cup on Friday evening means a replay at Old Trafford next week and another exciting night for U's supporters to enjoy.
The Telegraph were quick to call for the Red Devils to offer reduced prices for the replay after similar offers at Manchester City for the Middlesbrough clash.
I've written before that Affordable Football is in the business of highlighting special offers and reduced prices at all levels of the game so this is slightly out of my normal remit but if Manchester United don't have to reduce prices in order to get a decent crowd through the gate or make money (I realise the two don't necessarily go together in this case as adult season ticket holders are charged for FA Cup tickets whether they go or not) then it comes down purely to a goodwill gesture.
But even then, Cambridge would have to agree to reduced prices and as their 9,000 allocation is likely to be snapped up straight away then the U's know there is more money to be made from the status quo.
Prices have not been increased and, with the weekend departure of City and Chelsea from the cup and a favourable 5th Round draw, this is actually a pretty big game for the hosts and so those who do attend will be watching a full-strength side going all out to win.
