FA Cup

[Liam_SWFC]

Since our season is over I really want us to go as far as possible in this, Reading is a dull tie but very winnable and I like Friday night home games so could be worse. The mentality of wanting to draw an Arsenal/Man United away is so small time, have some ambition.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

We can't draw Arsenal.....

 

[The Southbank]

Cardiff,Wednesday and reading all through easily. Reading fans will be pleased they now have to make a trip to sheffield on a Friday night.

Any reason for this?

We play Boro on the Tuesday after and Sheffield United are at home on the Sunday so both clubs agreed on Friday.

Saturday

 

[SoutheySWFC]

I'm losing it, I meant Saturday an all.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Friday nights are decent, good piss up.

 

[LeylandWhite]

Only a tenner for us at Sheffield United, should be a good day and hopefully a good following at them prices.

Nailed on to be a draw so we play each other AGAIN.

I fucking hope not.

It is if you take numbers away, Reading will have 200 tops in an away end that holds 5k in a cold friday night in January. The game won't be much fun imo.

Won't make a jot of difference then as it is Reading, never brought a fucking crowd to ours, even the year they pissed this league and we were last away day of season=

What did they have there that day?

 

[SoutheySWFC]

About 2k off the top of my head.

Over 700 sold in 2 days.

Bet they had a right mob roaming Sheffield that day.

Not bad that, it's a crap tie. I might make a last minute decision and go but i'm not fussed at the moment.

Reckon we will have about 1,200 there.

You normally have about 1200 in the league I think a few more may go. When we played at yours in the 4th round 3 years ago we took about 3k which is more than our normal league following. It's a cert to be draw.

Yeah, maybe i'm underestimating the cheap ticket effect.

I fancy a draw as well, would be typical.

 

[blademan89]

We are due to play reading on 5th round day, if we both have something to do with that one being called off it will have been a good day all round.

c***

Although I'd laugh my bollocks off if you drew each other in R5

I'd happily settle for reading in r5

 

[Kilburn Ram]

We're due at Hillsborough fifth round day, so I am going to be cheering Reading on in the fourth round.

Going to Sheffield to a re-arranged midweek game would totally kill a good day out I look forward to each year.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Hope it's midweek, won't affect your numbers given the prices already do that.

 

[SF_]

About 500 tickets left for Saturday so shifted about 1,800, no ticket sales on the day.

You'll get more if you sell out and you will also be able to pay on the day it never gets announced until the day before. Good turnout, can' see there bring many there though , maybe 15k

They have specifically told PNE that's our lot for tickets

They can't do that surely, 15% has to be offered in the fa cup and the top tier is closed to our fans. You probably won't need any more anyway with 500 still remaining.

 

[SF_]

Fuck knows on Saturday's team.

Declan Rudd will come back in, I think if he plays well then he might keep his place in the next league game.

Hopefully we see Moult make his full debut and I guess we will see Browne, Bodin and Horgan back in the side.

Imagine Ben Davies won't be risked after going off against Birmingham so we're once again fucked at fullback if Fisher is unavailable, Neil won't play Vermijl, hates him. Playing that turd, Andy Boyle is an option I suppose. Earl might start to give Cunningham a rest.

Probably won't risk Pearson either.

Rudd
Fisher, Clarke, Huntington, Earl
Welsh, Gallagher
Bodin, Browne, Horgan
Moult​

2,150 out of the 2350 sold now, so should sell out.
