National League club Tamworth have been slammed after more than doubling their ticket prices for the lucrative FA Cup third-round tie against Tottenham Hotspur next month.

The non-league side have been on an incredible giant-killing streak so far this season having beaten League One clubs Huddersfield Town and Burton Albion to make it to the third round. Their prize is a glamour tie against Ange Postecoglou's men which exudes the spirit of the competition.

However, home fans have been left with a sour taste in their mouth after the Staffordshire club announced their ticket prices on Sunday morning. Adults wanting to sit in the main stand will be charged the most at £42 with the terrace priced at £38.

The cheapest available tickets are priced at £29 for under 10s in the main stand and £25 should they wish to stand on the terrace. These prices are more than double in comparison to how much Tamworth charged fans for Huddersfield Town's trip to The Lamb Ground earlier in the season.

On that night, an adult could get a ticket in the main stand for as little as £20. These prices, which have been slammed as 'disgusting' and 'short-sighted' on social media, come after the FA were widely criticised for scrapping replays in the FA Cup from the first round onwards.

This decision was made to combat the increased fixture schedule which mainly hinders clubs like Spurs who are playing in European competitions. Critics of the decision claimed clubs like Tamworth were missing out on potentially money-spinning replays at the likes of Tottenham but these concerns fell on deaf ears.

The Lamb Ground holds a capacity of just over 4,000. Unlike the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Tamworth's home has a 3G pitch which could prove to be a leveller for the Premier League club.
