Match Thread Derby (H) FA CUP (7 Viewers)

Score and attendance predictions?
I think the attendance will be ruined by the closure of the corner and the 12:30 kick off. Derby have an allocation of 3,000 , so they might bring about 1,500. Gonna go for 2-1 Derby and 7,000

I've heard we've only sold around a 1000.

Let's hope the club and police learn from this. Poor pricing, no pay on the gate, stopping fans sitting in their seats.

Add to that a boring opponent, on the back of a poor run of form and the continued Omnicon fears, I'm not susprised.

 

[pusbccfc]

Ouch...

 

[TwistAndShoutCCFC1987]

Ouch...

That is shocking. The club have overreacted massively. Not looking forward to our massively cut allocation and being held back after FT at derby in march

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The wife quite wanted to go, so we got tickets, but not really looking forward to it. Hopefully Robins lets the shackles off and tries something a bit different without the pressure.

 

[robbiethemole]

Not getting to this I tested positive last night so gotta isolate until Sunday at the earliest

 

[Ccfcisparks]

3-0 loss I’d imagine

 

[shmmeee]

Can’t see past a loss. Not really one for throwing away the cups but TBH with everything that’s going on I’d support an experimental team and resting a few if needed.

Is this streamed anywhere?

International TV I think

Guess walk up and pay on the gate will be bigger.

I'll just walk up. No point buying before hand

 

[napolimp]

Got to play a starting XI surely? Players have had ample rest and clearly lacked game time against Milwall. A golden opportunity to get confidence levels up and hopefully start of a run.

Never knew that. That's fucking stupid.

People won't buy if come Friday they have to isolate.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I'm going - predict a crowd of 6.002 (or 6,001 if I hadn't gone). Hoping Derby go batshit in the 2nd half against Reading and get 2 injured and 2 sent off. Jodi Jones to set up the winner.

 

[CCFC54321]

I come out of isolation on Saturday. That’s me not going now if I can’t pay on the gate.

Decisions like this are on the level of the London Wasps business strategy….. madness!

 

[Grendel]

Why is it 12.30

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Why all ticket?

 

[stupot07]

Why all ticket?

Probably due to the trouble at the league game.

I would even start Shipley in this one

[SeaSeeEffCee]

It's like they don't want anyone to go

It's like they don't want anyone to go

Wednesday night must have been part of those preparations

Derby have been surprisisingly good. Whether they can avoid relegation is another matter. We look out of sorts and not at all match fit due to so many games called off. So I'm torn between using it as a test bed and concentrate on the league or put out a strong side to get themselves match fit and going again.
if it's the first one, we lose.
If it's the second one, it will be a good game. Derby have little left unless they have a run in the cup, so they will be up for it.

Difficult choice for Robins, but you do have to keep in mind, a win and another round drawn at a premier league side could be a money spinner, and we need all the dosh we can get.

What would you do?

Go for it! Every time.

 

[ceetee]

Got to field a team that can win. Mustn't get into a losing mentality

Fucking go for it - I'd luv to see City go as far as they can in this competition - it's the best cup competition in english footy,always has been...fuck the Prem teams & their dismissal of the F.A cup - some of them see finishing 7th in that over-hyped league as success ffs

The usual clamp down on 2 or 3 idiots by punishing thousands of well intended supporters. Will be a shockingly low crowd I think.

 

[pusbccfc]

Can't wait for the category A level of policing, 9 blocks splitting Coventry and Derby fans up with just 5000 there. Let's hope nobody needs the help of the old bill on Saturday in Coventry.

 

[GaryMabbuttsLeftKnee]

I imagine it being a small crowd. I’m gonna wait until Friday evening, take a LFT and as long as negative will buy our groups then. Main concern there is most others may have the same idea and a lengthy wait and the ticket office to collect…

We haven't got one!

 

[ceetee]

We will if we keep losing. That's my point

Be creative.

 

[pusbccfc]

There is absolutely no way Robins will play a strong team with the packed run we've got coming up.

If we lose and Middlesbrough win. Could the Cardiff or Luton game be rearranged for that weekend?

How can we not when we’ve had hardly any games?

 

[better days]

Tbh the way things are going it'll be a question of who is healthy and available
Not just for us but for many teams until this omicron wave hopefully subsides
