A row over ticket prices for a non league club's upcoming FA Cup fixture against a Premier League side is unfair, according to a supporter's club chairman.
Some Tamworth FC fans took to social media to complain about the £42 cost for an adult to sit in the main stand, about double the price of a typical matchday ticket, for the game against Tottenham Hotspur.
Scott Farrington, 34, a life-long supporter of the National League club, in Staffordshire, said the fixture marked the biggest game in the town's history and that the tickets were "priceless".
Tamworth FC has been contacted for a comment.
But Mr Farrington said the money would help the part-time club grow.
"You can't put a price on these tickets in my opinion," he said.
"We're playing Tottenham Hotspur, a top-six Premier League team.
"We're a tiny club, we need the financial revenue to keep the club in this league."
Not everyone agrees with the price rise. Christian James, a writer for The Non-League Paper, called the situation "awful".
"[My] thoughts with regular matchgoers and in particular families just after Christmas," he wrote on X.
"[I] enjoyed my trip to Tamworth... last season and [am] looking forward to returning in a few weeks but this sours the goodwill and support from wider football."
Mr Farrington said he hoped the fixture's revenue would go some way to giving players full time contracts and improving the club's infrastructure.
The club has won back-to-back promotions in the past two years and sit 15th in the National League.
Tamworth would have been looking at an even bigger pay day had the fixture been held at Tottenham's 62,850-capacity stadium - but that would have meant even higher costs for fans due to travel.
