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

All depends on police I guess. They only managed about 35,000 against West Ham.

Are you a pilot? B-)

Sadly not.

Home tie vs man u liveprool or villa if i could pick 3 big teams

Or home vs non league team to have a real chance of 4th round and.more prize money/dreaming

 

[pusbccfc]

If you search 'Coventry away' on twitter, it see every man and his dog wants us.

Some genuinely think they'd get half the ground as well..

 

[tigersb]

Nah, done that once this year !

Third round is next year though

 

[letsallsingtogether]

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

They will be when we kick their arses 3-0

 

[Houchens Head]

How about Bournemouth, is that near ?

Not really BBR. It wouldn't be too bad, but Southampton is literally a 24minute Jet Catamaran from Cowes, straight into the heart of Southampton and then a 10 minute walk to the ground. Wouldn't even have to take my car! If it was Bournemouth (even though I can see it from the West Wight) it would still be a car journey or train. You need to see a map of the Solent area to understand what I mean. (That's if I'm still able to walk after me soddin' op!)

 

[Ricketts]

Man U at home please.

Is Huckerby stilll around?

3-2

Deja Vu will suit me just fine.

If they get drawn against us, Mourinho is sure to ask "Where is Coventry?"

Big side away for the build up and event or crap side at home to progress and then get the big date.

So far for our 'little run' we have amassed £45,000 in prize winnings if we were to win in 3rd round it would be £67,500 extra then £90,000 for the 4th then whatever gate and tv money so it would be excellent little money maker. If we hit the heady heights of 5th and 6th rounds the prize money would be £180,000 and £360,000 respectively but that would probably take our focus off promotion so a money spinner 3rd round and bowing out gracefully would be my preference

a plum 3rd round tie could earn 500k to £1m alone. Enough to fund the january transfers we need if we want to think about promotion

And that will buy the chairman a new Jag and enough diesel to fill it up. Balls to the Man Utd's and Liverpools, I hope we get Woking if they get through-it will only be a Fiat 500 then.

Says the bloke who brags about buying expensive tickets because he can afford it.

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.

So we're not aloud a opinion on games anymore then?.... We're all told to respect others stances(Remember Sixfields) Try remembering the previous 50 years + of some of us following the Club all over Britain both home and away.... Pathetic really!

 

[RB1992]

Anyone who wants Spurs away is an idiot.

Anywhere, apart from Wembley, with a big away end will do me. Let's face it, we're not winning it, so may as well enjoy a decent day out on the piss and then back to the league.

 

[covcity4life]

sunderland at home? winnable!

actually sunderland away! guaranteed victory?!

I love the way you have put together a well reasoned argument, examining the positives and the negatives. I love a day out - and if Wembley is good enough for Real madrid to play spurs there, then it is good enough for a 4th division club

I think if it is an away ground the season ticket holders need to be looked after and even think about how they can drive half season ticket sales if it is a really big game

We went there last season and this time there will be less than 30,000 there. Why would anyone want to go again, knowing this time the atmosphere will be dreadful and we'll definitely lose?

I don't care where we play. What I would like is a good day out. London would be great. Would make a weekend of it.

Only 30,000? That would bring a bit of money into the kitty. But I could see it being more. They would turn up to see a goal fest. We would turn up because we normally do for big games.

My little boy has travelled all over the place to watch us play. I think he has only seen us win once. That was at Wembley. So he has a 100% record there :smuggrin:

 

[steve82]

We're not gonna win it, I'd just like a big tie for my lad to experience one of the big sides coming or going

You're allowed an opinion but it has less validity than somebody who has attended.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

Liverpool or Everton away please....i'm lazy & thats nice & local.

If not, Fulham away as the cottage is one of the few remaining great traditional grounds in London.....

...failing that, spanking wanky wolves at molineux in front of a large SBA would be sweet......

 

[pusbccfc]

When was the last Premier League team to play at the Ricoh? Chelsea?

[hinckley cov]

Have you not watched wolves this season? It would be us getting spanked .

 

[ashbyjan]

Big team means casual/currently disinterested fans may attend and therefore more revenue for MR to not have to sell in Jan, maybe even get someone in, small team means less revenue and more chance of sales etc. Bigger picture than one off game

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Man City away, have them rest some stars and allow us to get the draw. Get them back to the Ricoh, have a full-house and watch as we show Wasps and Man City who the proper Sky Blues are, as we win thanks to McNulty showing Aguero how finishing's done.

 

[Sky Blue Kid]

Thanks for the spelling correction. My seeing the game on Sunday via TV makes my opinion less valid to someone who was there? considering multi replays of incidents giving better views than a split second view for someone at the game? I think not mate.

 

[Edgey95]

West ham (A), Villa (A), Sunderland (A), Man U (H).

No, fair enough. If you've watched it on TV your opinion is as valid as that of anybody else.

Utter bollocks!

I never give opinions on a game unless I see it on TV live, or extended highlights, and THEN, I only comment on what I've seen.

 

[bringbackrattles]

It just shows that the FACup can still excite fans. We know we ain't going to win it but that doesn't mean we can't have a go and try and progress. I remember going to the Blackburn cup tie a few years back, our support was awesome that day. As for money generated Robins when asked would he use it to recruit players,he replied " I hope so. " We'll see then !

 

[Captain Dart]

Utter bollocks!

Yes, even if that opinion is utter bollocks. :writing:
