Spurs away wouldn't be as good as people think?

Would say a trip to Wembley would be very enticing for City fans.

Because of the reasons given. It would be empty and many of the reports from away fans this season have said it was a very poor ground to go to when there is only 3000 away fans.

Unless they gave us 10,000+, then it would be low down on my list.

Southampton away for me. Quick ferry trip and a short walk to St Mary's. Great.

Spurs away wouldn't be anywhere near as good as people think. Would be barely 30,000 Spurs fans there and I am not sure the allocation would be very big. Barnsley were only given 5000 earlier in the season.

My top choices would be: Villa (H), Leicester (A), Fulham (A) or any of the big 6 at home.

I think we would get 25k + at home for about 15 teams. Any of the big Prem clubs and the likes of Leeds, Wolves, Birmingham and Sunderland from the championship would bring 5000 and I am certain after so long since playing a 'big' team at home, we would sell big numbers.

Don't teams have to allocate 25% to the away team in the F.A cup.?
Edit - Just checked it's 15%

Would Villa fans share the excitement over the fixture? Don’t think they’re that bothered about us are they?

Don’t really care what they think, I want Villa at Home. Reckon the city would pack it out and they would bring 3-4K, be too embarrassing for them not too. Plus I bet secretly they would relish the opportunity to face us again. Be a great tie, one for the youngsters to watch in awe and soak up an electric atmosphere.

Amazing how so many so called "fans" or "supporters" have so much to say so soon about the fa cup draw thread.

Yet these will be same so called fans that won't turn up home or away in the next round or haven't bothered in the previous two rounds.

Pathetic really.

Some of us miss out because we have to work for a living. I am at work now.

So if we can't go does it mean that we can't comment?

If so I will keep my gob shut until Port Vale as I think that is the next game when I am not at work.

Ricoh capacity is only 32k. Old Trafford is 75k. We'll lose that game home or away so why not double the income? £1m from a Man U game would go a long way in the January sales.

Yes I'd agree. Only other money spinner from a home tie vs a big name would be perhaps the TV fee, if they showed it live. Home or away, lets be honest, it would probably be the end of the road vs a prem side so might as well make as much money as possible.

If Spurs could only get 30K why would they restrict the away supporters to 5K and leave 55K empty?
