Wolves have refused to send Shrewsbury extra tickets for the FA Cup game as the extra revenue wouldn’t cover the operating costs.
Another great PR stunt by the club keeping seats empty and locking paying fans out.

Can you give more detail, I can’t read the full article but from what I do see it seems like they were offered more initially but took the lower amount. Now have changes their mind but because it’s in the stan cull is not Steve bull the operating cost would outweigh what shrews make.
Seems like the fault of Shrewsbury owners not wolves, at least that’s what the comments I’ve seen say. Interested why you think it’s wolves fault.

Because it’s Wolves stadium Goatmark1 and the opposition are asking for tickets for the game but we can’t afford to let them in so the seats remain empty?
An odd position for a club that has been in the PL for eight years with all its riches paying players huge salaries but can’t allow fans into the stadium as the cost of doing so is prohibitive.

But I don’t think that’s the case, it’s not about the cost to us from what I see. If they had taken the higher amount of tickets first of all they would be in the Steve bull stand and so the operation costs would be fine. It’s the fact they wanted less so we put them in the stan cullis then they changed their minds but to add more fans to the stan cullis would affect the profit they take due to the layout and increased operation costs. Incidentally they are also complaining that we priced the tickets at £10 (funnily enough too low) which again means they aren’t taking as much, they even said they make more from a league game.
Btw i'm not trying to cause arguments First just trying to get the facts right to blame the right people, of course I could be reading the situation wrong.

Ok I might have been wrong about which stand and the reason behind why the operation costs are more but I think it still affects the profit shrews take. Either way it still doesn’t seem it’s our fault to me.

Havnt seen anything about the ticket allocation to Shrews fans other than they're being housed in the lower steve bull. Shrewsbury had a waiting list for tickets.
Of course the match is also on TV if you've the appropriate subscriptions.
£10 does seem a low price admittedly.
