The Fulham Supporters’ Trust have described the decision to sell adult away tickets for the Old Trafford cup tie at between £51 to £61 as “callous”, with away tickets capped at £30 for Premier League matches.
The Fulham Supporters’ Trust addressed the cost of tickets in a letter to the club chief executive Alistair Mackintosh estimating that subsiding tickets would amount to “around £60,000”, with the gate receipts shared for the FA Cup match.
The move saw ticket costs for members rise to £66 and was criticised by supporters’ groups, with the Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) warning that it may lead to a “significant price rise” for next season.
“Despite the game being on television with a resulting cash windfall for both clubs, it appears loyal legacy supporters simply do not matter to the hierarchy of the modern-day game,” the Fulham Supporters’ Trust wrote.
The Fulham Supporters’ Trust have asked their club to subsidise away tickets at £30 after they were raised above the Premier League limit.
