FA Cup 3rd Round

[Stroud]

There will be at least one League 1 team in next round (either Derby or Barnsley), but I cannot see more than 4 or 5 of our teams competing in Round 4.
The odds will probably say that FGR, Oxford, Sheff Wed, Shrewsbury & Portsmouth will be eliminated this round. But the World Cup has shown that shocks are not uncommon, so I would not be unhappy if the odds are proven wrong.

Grimsby away - which is very hard to call. Plymouth got gubbed there. We could easily lose 4-1 or win 4-1, as our forwards now appear to have been given a map to the opponents goal.
This will be close. Be delighted to get through. If we lose I hope the mariners get reading away as a punishment.

Pretty attractive home tie against QPR, not sure what kind of away support they will bring but will be disappointed if there's not a crowd of around 4k Carlos Mendes is cup tied so opportunities for other squad players to make their mark It's the cup so upsets happen and I hope QPR are on the receiving end

Is the Mendes loan ending in Jan then if they dont want him cup tied? M'Boro let us play Coburn in the 2nd round after not allowing him to play in the first round

As far as I can remember we have got him on loan for the season, certainly hope so as he brings real quality and goals to the team

Now confirmed. On ITV.

Would have preferred Friday night or Saturday, but will still sell out and be a decent night.

It's a strange one, maybe I've got my wires crossed, or Luton just being awkward

What the fuck are we on at 530 for ? And on tv?
Means there will be even more pissed up morons than normal out in the town. Can’t wait for that walk to the car.

You clearly don’t realise the millions of fans Grimsby and Burton have internationally.

International broadcasting...don't believe it...surely it is on advice of the Police to keep rampaging hordes of Brummies out of the local pubs before the game!

Fascinated to know which country wanted to broadcast Reading v Watford, Luton v Wigan and Scum v Blackburn. Three all championship ties with little backstories to them. At least Bristol City v Swansea is a rivalry on some level. Seem weird inclusions for foreign tv to me.

Agree fully .

I mean not many fans of those clubs are going to be interested!

It’s the glamour tie of the round, of course it was gonna be televised.
