FA Cup 3rd Round

[KevinMcallister]

Who are Cambridge? is it a boat race?

 

[GodsGift]

Oldham or Lincoln at home, could have been worse.

What sort of crowd would you get at home?

 

[JJH]

Shite for us.

Give over.

 

[The Southbank]

Very rich coming from a reading fan.

Aye, Reading is a shit day out. Arsenal is somehow shit despite in being in a smashing area for pubs.

 

[SF_]

Class draw for us. ££££££.

 

[villa loyal]

Give over.

what's good about Spurs away for us? Not a new ground and will probably get beat.

 

[Tom_ITFC]

What sort of crowd would you get at home?

All depends whether MM is still in charge. Town fans mentality now is that if Mick can't be bothered with the cup then why should we

Day in the capital at one of the big boys, nowt to lose.

could see your point if we hadn't played the big boys for a while but we've only just been relegated after being in the prem since it began. Obviously nothing to lose but out lot are not getting excited about Spurs away.

Just a day out isn't it, no interest in the cup anyway.

I want us to lose our third round tie (assuming you lose as well) so our game at your place stays on the Saturday, rather than it be midweek.

a lot of our fans would rather us get knocked out to concentrate on the league. I don't see it like that, I'd rather us have a good run but I suppose the fa cup has lost its glamour over the years. If Spurs put a weak team out which they might, that is our only chance.

Reading is actually a good day out in the centre it's just the actual match experience/ ground that puts a downer on it.

 

[SMH]

Forest at home. Absolutely horrific! Surprised if we get over 5k on for that.

 

[Veggie Legs]

What sort of crowd would you get at home?

I guess about 10-12k. Depends on how we do between now and then and what the prices are.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Middlesbrough away saved only by a good session in York......

 

[mossypne]

Arsenal at home.

 

[tonymac84]

Found the whole draw to be a bit underwhelming but happy enough with Birmingham away

There's another reason we want our game played. Kodjia will be at the ACON on the original date. He might be back by the time a rearranged fixture takes place.

 

[Haillay7]

Can see us losing in an uneventful trip to Birmingham. Think that'll make it 5 or 6 years that we'd have failed to make it past the 3rd round

 

[Veggie Legs]

That sounds familiar, I think our last FA Cup win was in 2010.

 

[QPR_Matt]

We have confirmed that we are closing Ellerslie Road (the stand that holds the camera, to the right as you look out from the away end) and the lower Loft. They must be expecting a low turn out. We are charging £15 for non season ticket holders - if we were doing them for £10 then it would be a near sell out.

Shocking tv games all about the big clubs again.

West ham v city bbc
Spurs v villa bbc
Man u v reading bt
Pne v arsenal bt
Liverpool v plymouth/Newport bt
Cambridge v leeds bt

Only pne v arsenal and Cambridge v leeds are worth watching. The spurs v villa one could be the worst pick I've ever known. Also it's the 54th consecutive man utd fa cup game live on tv.

 

[The Southbank]

For our last 12:45 K.O we shifted 6,000 for Bradford (A), be interesting to see how many we get at Old Trafford.

What else could they pick? It was a crap draw. Doubt Millwall v Bournemouth or Bolton v Palace will be spark much interest for the home teams.

Yes I suppose this time it was a shit draw

We had 8.5k I think last year. It's full price though £45 a pop if I remember rightly.

 

[TomPNE94]

Buzzing, best slot we could have hoped for!

 

[The Southbank]

Might give it a miss at those prices.

We took 8,000 up there back in 2007, that was a 5.30 K.O - only time I've been up to Old Trafford and haven't had the urge to go there again.

I remember you playing there about 3 years ago as well. I think There was a discount for season ticket holders of 25%. I'm sure you'll find out anyway tommorrow how much it will be.

 

[Madejski]

Can't see us being anywhere near close to 11,000 maximum. Half of that maybe. Any Reading fan who wants to go, will do.

Yep we play them a lot, after this draw Man Utd are now our most faced FA Cup opponent.
