FA Cup 2018/19

[Limerick Mariner]

They're expecting a near sell-out but I can't see 40k turning up. Maybe 30k-35k.

To be fair to Liverpool and Everton fans, they turn out in good numbers for Cup game against lower league opposition.

Perhaps alot of families go that wouldn't normally get tickets together for a League or more importantly couldn't afford them.

The ticket prices for Palace will have certainly boosted the away following.

 

[Davidimp]

Our local radio guy reckons we'll make around 90k profit from the game.

My Cousin’s just texted me and someone’s dropped out on their minibus so now my lad can go with them to Palace, to say he’s a happy boy is an understatement!

Hope he has a great day out

When the draw was made I thought we’d take around 2500 - 3000 then when they made it 5:30 ko thought it would definitely be around the lower end of 2500, I know our away support shouldn’t still surprise me but it really does, fantastic support just wish I was one of em, bastard work.

5.30 is even better, more time in the pub!

Cheap hotel or whatever that night, everyones a winner!

Does cheap hotel and London belong in the same sentence?

 

[Hurrikeen]

Really looking forward to our game at Fulham on Sunday.

4000 pissed up Latics hopefully putting one over* a (hopefully) 2nd string Fulham side.#



Probably get twatted 5-0

Course. Though I guess I booked mine about 2 months in advance which I guess you kinda couldn’t do! Lol

Everton reporting it's a near sell-out, which I'm a little surprised at but a welcomed one.

It's surprised me how many we've sold for Palace. 5500 at the last count. I thought we'd struggle to shift our original allocation of 4100.

Lincolnshire will be pretty empty on Saturday I reckon.

Palace was one of my favourite away days when we were in the Championship - a proper ground and the atmosphere in the away stand is excellent. Helped that we won 3-1!

What about Scunthorpe they are at home...!


And Coventry will fill the away end at Glanford Park, the rest of it will be empty though...

 

[BlackHaddock]

I just hope Palace put out a second string with none of those fast, mobile and tall strikers. Our makeshift defense can't do fast, mobile or tall.

I reckon they'll play Ayew up top as he scored in their last game and hasn't had much game time so Hogdson will want to give him a bit of confidence considering how they've been struggling to find the net. Will be a handful, but better than Zaha I guess. Reckon they'll also play that Max Meyer (sp?) who looks decent.

 

[immariner]

They also have Wickham and some guy called Sorloth, who Palace fans appear less than impressed with, who may play upfront.

I've read on our OS that no tickets will be available to Town fans on the day. What a load of shit! Now I'm sure 99% of those likely to go will have their tickets already but there'll be a few who have yet to make a decision for various reasons (work/childcare etc). Why the need to be so dickish? The stand holds 9000 ffs.

 

[Gladders]

Let's be honest, even their second string will be far too good. As Jolley said in the pre match interview if we play them 100 times they will win 99.

But this is the FA Cup and 5500 of us will be there dreaming that this is the one.

 

[Pablosammy]

Looking forward to getting twatted by Spurs on the box tonight. Still, a nice little earner and an excuse for a beer or two!

Let’s hope it’s not a severe twatting then.
Can’t find cover for my 12 hour night shift so there’s no Spurs for me tonight.

I feel your pain, 12 hour nights stopping me going to Palace tomorrow too,

 

[FishyMackem]

Was looking into the H2H for us and Palace and last time we beat them, the Division 1 table looked like this...

Some good rises and falls since then!

I've got £1 on a Coral Build Your Bet...

Tranmere to win
Both teams to score
Spurs to score the 2nd goal
Norwood to score exactly 2 goals
Jay Harris to get a card

400/1

 

[Luke Imp]

For those who don't understand betting, that basically means SoC is losing £1.

More than likely!

If it comes through though, I'll be top of the monthly Build Your Bet competition.

So what your saying is we have briefly fallen to non league and spent the rest of the time in lge 2 whilst Wimbledon were stolen, reformed and had about 15 promotions to go back above us?

At least we're not Stockport...

That was the season Andy Todd got the winner away at a Wolves in Mach/April time and at the time Wolves we’re 9 points clear of West Brom but losing to us prompted a total collapse and then they lost in the play offs to Norwich.

To be fair Stockport were already punching above their weight anyhow

 

[Attila the hun]

Just a good luck message to all the fans who are playing premier league teams This weekend enjoy the experience if your away days like this don’t come around often and I’m sure one team will cause an upset a win or earning a replay hopefully it will be more than one team and hopefully it will be us at Fulham I’m gutted I can’t make it this weekend plenty of fans going for weekend So good luck to the trannies hope you start the ball rolling come on league two

I think that might have been the season when Wimbledon were groundsharing at Selhurst Park before they were kidnapped and whisked off to Milton Keynes.

We drew with them 3-3 with barely 1000 in the ground. Very surreal atmosphere that day. Should be far, far better tomorrow.

Actually thinking about it, I think that was the following season 02/03.

Can't remember that away game, but the home game was brilliant. We went 1-0 down and then maybe even 2-1 down but came back to spank them 6-2. Boulding and Pouton both got hattricks. At the back end of the season when we needed the points too.
