FA Cup (League 1) - ROUND 3

[Buxton Vale]

Well done Shrewsbury. I didn't see that one coming.

 

[LincsPosh]

That attendance though..*shakes head* Why the stupid ko time?

 

[Matt_]

The stupid kick off time was down to live coverage on S4C with Swansea being on live earlier in the day.

A nice little pay day for Town despite the poor turnout from the locals. TV money plus FA Cup prize money sees a six figure sum coming our way. With our share of the gate receipts it's probably worth around £120,000 before expenses.

 

[Super_horns]

Well done to the likes of Walsall and Shrewsbury.

 

[Jack]

Hoping for a Premier League side away from home to make up for Doncaster away being rearranged

 

[dedwardp]

Cardiff only pulled in 4,100 when we played there in the Third Round last season too.

 

[LS Bantam]

Bradford City v Bury, replay - Injury may force Parkinson's hand in replacing (seemingly undroppable some will say) James Hanson upfront, likewise Billy Clarke who is well out of form also picked up a dead leg on Saturday; Devante Cole to come in, possibly Luke James (remember him?) or Steve Davis back from a long term injury. Any other changes will be rotation rather than injury based.
Literally every other team in the league has scored more than us but the flip side of that is defensively we're fairly solid, so expect another low scoring game for this one.
Prediction - 2-1 aet

 

[T.A]

We need a good performance here. Still think we'll come up short.

City 1-0

Bratfurt 1 Shaggers 4 NURSEEEEEEEEE

 

[blademan89]

Relying on a bradford win or another good saturday away day is lost.

Bratfurt 1 Shaggers 4 NURSEEEEEEEEE

Impressive to take the shootout into account...

 

[blademan89]

For fucks sake the day gets worse the southend trip completely ruined now fucking burys off too which is another good away day ruined.

 

[BCFC]

Just been knocked out of the FA Cup without conceding a goal in our 5 games.

"We only need 10 men"

 

[King Kev]

Well GMP have ruined the round 4 tie for us before a ball has been kicked. Absolute useless, incompetent, thick wastes of space.

I'd say that's the board fault because they've given them over 5,000 seats. Hull won't bring that many? They'll put a weakened side out for a start.

I would imagine this has been done on GMP advice. I am fecking fuming by this stupid decision. A potentially winnable Cup game with a bumper crowd and a potentially great atmosphere and the board/gmp decide to give Hull the two biggest stands in the ground making it potentially more like a home game for the away side and limiting the home fans to the two smallest stands where our mobility and views will be limited. How are we seriously going to be able to generate an atmosphere with our home fans penned in isolated blocks of the main stand and in the cemy end? The South Stand should always be for the home fans, or if it is an away stand then that should be the only away stand. Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe this decision. All that I am clinging to it that Hull have been given an initial allocation of 2700 tickets, am going to wager/hope that if they haven't sold out by Tuesday/Wednesday it will be made pay on the day and Hull hopefully moved to the Cem and the Main Stand blocks as anybody with a fecking ounce of common sense would have done from the start.
Regardless King Kev will be complaining to the football club about this and hopefully alot of other disgruntled fans will be as well.

 

[T.A]

Apparently Hull don't have a home game before our game. We only have the Crewe game next Tuesday. they'll be less than 3,000 tickets sold and thus will be changed to POTD and the MRE will be closed.

Hope you are right, but I also hope sense prevails and the away support is moved to its normal location.
