Ten For A Tenner In The FA Cup

£10 Adult tickets are available at all of the following matches over the course of the FA Cup Third Round weekend.

There's been some understandable criticism of the scheduling of ties, with only 10 of the 32 games kicking off at 3pm on Saturday 5th January as part of the FA's new overseas deal for the competition, and I certainly think the number of fixtures that have been moved to Saturday lunchtime starts will have an impact on travelling supporters, so important in creating a good atmosphere.

In many respects it seems that the cup has settled into a nice rhythm in the earlier rounds, especially with the BBC coverage of a live Friday night game, but continues to be the subject of endless tinkering from this stage onwards.

The latest nibble at the edges of the competition is the scrapping of replays in the Fifth Round which has been brought forward from 2019/20 to this season.

But there are some good opportunities to catch a match as follows...

Burnley v Barnsley: Adults £10, Concessions £5

West Bromwich Albion v Wigan Athletic: Adults £10, Concessions £5, Under 18's £1 (if purchased before the day of the game, £5 on matchday)

West Ham United v Birmingham City: Adults from £10, Under 16's from £1

Aston Villa v Swansea City: Adults £10, Concessions, Under 21's £7.50, Under 18's £5

Brentford v Oxford United: Adults £10 on the terraces, Juniors £5

Fleetwood Town v AFC Wimbledon: Adults £10 on the terraces, Concessions £5, Under 16's £1

Newcastle United v Blackburn Rovers: Adults £10, Concessions £5 (prices double on the day of the game)

Norwich City v Portsmouth: Adults £10, Over 65's and Under 21's £5, Under 18's £1

Fulham v Oldham: Adults £10 in the Hammersmith End & Putney Stand, Over 65's and 18-21's £5, 17 and under £1

Preston North End v Doncaster Rovers: Adults £10, Concessions £5, Under 11's (accompanied) £1
