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!)

If we get a big tie I'll get you a ticket if I can so can you can come and cheer us on.

Huddersfield away please. Another lazy suggestion.

 

[Joy Division]

Everton away. May be the last time we ever get to play at Goodison.

Would you rather have a big income game (Spurs/United) away or a winnable tie?

In our current predicament, big money should be the target, to bring in better players in January.

...to not have to sell the players we already have.

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:

And I think they’d like Revenge for 1987!!

They have beaten us a couple of times already for revenge

Have to think long-term, the financial benefits from a prem top 6 tie is better than a short cup run, TV coverage and exposure could put us on the map again.

FYI

Coventry City will be ball number 64 in tonight's Emirates FA Cup Third Round draw.

The Sky Blues beat Boreham Wood 3-0 at the Ricoh Arena on Sunday to secure a spot in the draw.

The draw takes place at 7pm tonight, and will be shown live on BBC 2 and BT Sport 1.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Why are the balls numbered all randomly, anybody actually have a clue. I thought it would be alphabetical or by league position but it doesn't add up.

 

[Nick]

Doesnt it go by where we were in the draw last round?

 

[Liquid Gold]

Why Bournemouth 1 and Arsenal 2 though?

 

[ashbyjan]

AFC Bournemouth?

 

[Liquid Gold]

AFC Bournemouth?

Yeah that's it.

 

[pusbccfc]

I would interested to see what the attendance would be if we got an average championship side at home.

Say Hull or Ipswich at home. Based on them bringing 1500, how many would we get? I'd like to think 12k at cheap tickets?

I see a lot of Sheffield United fans want us away, that would be interesting again...

 

[Nick]

have seen a fair few Leicester fans want to get drawn us at the Ricoh.

We could pack into the away end and let them have the rest.

Stop pinching ideas from Wasps.

how about a short cup run and a prem top 6 tie though? in 4th or 5th round

I know but we are unbeaten against them at Wembley!!

We would sell 20k + if we drew Leicester at home, without doubt.

 

[ceetee]

Wasps are at home on the Sunday. Originally it was Sat 6th but I don't know why and when it was changed.
What does that matter you ask?
I don't know but it might affect whether we could be on TV if we are the banana skin to a Premier League club

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

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?

Why would there be only 30k there? I am pretty sure that a huge amount of City fans would go if tickets were available. Fifteen percent of 80k would give us an allocation of 12k. I think we would sell that out and ask for more if available. I am pretty sure that more than 18k Spurs fans would turn up.

It's 15% unless police advice says otherwise. With not much interest from spurs fans I very much doubt they'd give us 12k.

 

[jas365]

Huddersfield or Fulham away for me, the only 2 teams outside League 2 I've not seen us play away at.

 

[MAFF]

we got wigan/fylde away in the rehearsal

dodged a bullet there

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Please not Shrewsbury ahhhh we will die in a ditch there , please not them

 

[no_loyalty]

West Ham at home would be a good draw, could see us running them close

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Yep burton away I’m predicting

 

[oscillatewildly]

We're gonna be drawn away to Notts Forest. But I'd like away to either Bournemouth, Fulham or Huddersfield. Those last three for entirely selfish reasons.

 

[Astute]

My guess is that many of us will be unhappy whoever we get.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

If it’s a lower club someone like Carlisle would be ok , I just don’t want us to fade away just yet

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

I am predicting Liverpool away !

 

[westcountry_skyblue]

A day in London on the piss again please!!

 

[dadgad]

I hope we get a MASSIVE club so idiots like Grendel can suck himself off over how principled he is.
