I don't see the point in the offer if I'm being honest. Surely it would have been better for the Bury game? Moving this one to a Monday night in term time pretty much rules out most kids and will hit the away numbers as well, won't it? I know my mate and his 12 year old now won't come because it's been moved to a week night and I won't be able to make it now either. Still, I assume the club get more money from Sky than they would've got off the turnstiles anyway.

I'm not sure the rewards for a League Two game on Sky are significant. I have been looking on line but can't find any details. There is an annual figure of £240k for TV coverage but I can't find a game amount. I recall seeing a figure previously of about £10k, can't source that now. The rewards for televised FA Cup games are significant but I think that is in contrast to a League Two game. I wouldn't be surprised if we actually lost money by the match being moved to Monday.

From my point of view I'm glad this game is on tv against Westleys wrestlers, the referee will be in the limelight and hopefully deal with the dirty tactics and time wasting employed by his teams !

This game is the first day of the school Easter holidays in Derbyshire at least. Probably in Staffordshire too, as it's Good Friday 4 days later. Hence I can see why they've made this offer. What I'd prefer them to do is to have some offer and put the Burton fans behind the goal, like they are doing for local clubs against Accrington. That way the Stevenage fans would have to pay to sit down, like they make Burton fans do when we go there
