FA CUP 4TH ROUND DRAW - MONDAY 19:50 (ish) (6 Viewers)

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Be surprised if they don't

Hope so. Would obviously rather win the league game than a Cup tie

Sheffield United at home also, so one of the games won't be on a Saturday

Oh good, we could still play Bristol City at home on the 26th then, and go to Sheffield on the 27th.

 

[clint van damme]

Going to be a cracking draw, I can feel it in my bones.
Sods law as I'm not able to make it!

Blocking this moron

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Genuinely the worst possible draw we could have gotten, how boring

Honestly I don't know why you bother

 

[procdoc]

One word for that draw, meh

 

[SkyblueDad]

If they release the extra tickets for that then maybe

Away clubs get more tickets for FA cup-ties

 

[Johhny Blue]

Why do we never get a decent draw?

usually because we don't hang around long enough

 

[Gint11]

What do we reckon the allocation will be? What does their two tier away stand hold?

 

[pusbccfc]

Be surprised if we take over 1500 especially if we take over 3000 next week

Depends if the tickets are cheap and they give us a bigger allocation.

I know they can't fully open the away end anymore but if they found a way of giving us 6000, the lure of a big away following at £15 would be big.

 

[napolimp]

Is Bristol City likely to be moved mid-week then, and any indication as to when it will be?

 

[Levship20]

What do we reckon the allocation will be? What does their two tier away stand hold?

5000… up to 15% of 34,500

I saw a stat once, when two teams play each other back to back in league and cup games it's rare that a team wins both. I know it should be meaningless, but one of those weird football anomalies that we'll no doubt add to.

guess which...

Its BS that the PL clubs can draw against each other in the 4th round:

Fulham v Newcastle United
Sheffield United v Brighton & Hove Albion
Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City

Any one of those clubs would have been a decent pay day for lower league clubs.

Sheff Utd have a premier league game on the Tuesday so we probably play on the Sunday

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

We played then 2 weeks running in 87, won them both!

A bit longer than two weeks but get your sentiment.

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

But knowing us we'll get Swansea or Wednesday away.

all hail @San Francisco the latest ITK

we played Sheff Weds in the league the week before we played them again in the cup in 1987. That turned out well for everyone apart from Dean Emerson.

we also played them the week before Sutton United in 1989.

 

[theferret]

Fair point, but it could be they play Friday.

 

[napolimp]

This better not finish a draw, last thing we need is fixture congestion and a fourth tie against Wednesday.

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Not shite at all. Perfectly winnable game.

Easily losable too

Hopefully move ours, I'm out on Saturday.

Sorry that I’m not thrilled that we’re playing Sheffield Wednesday three times in 32 days. That’s really the pinnacle of football, I should be bouncing around the room. Best FA Cup draw in years!! Who wants an exciting tie against a big side when we can play a team from the same division yet again!

God, any chance to have a little dig with some people isn’t it. Really embarrassing stuff.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Will probably be chosen for international broadcast again, Sunday at 12 O'clock

 

[SBT]

Easily losable too

Eminently drawable as well imo

We played them 7th March and the 14th March

 

[Balli001]

Will probably be chosen for international broadcast again, Sunday at 12 O'clock

Sunday cup games are usually 2pm

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Watch it be Wednesday away

What are the numbers for the lottery for the weekend

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

This better not finish a draw, last thing we need is fixture congestion and a fourth tie against Wednesday.

We’ll probably win, Bristol City beat West Ham, win their tie and we draw each other.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

A replay?

Any one of those clubs would have been a decent pay day for lower league clubs.

Alternatively it means the odds of underdogs getting further just went up. There will be 10 premier league teams maximum in the 5th round. That feels low.

Do they have replays in the 4th round

We didn't win both away at Middlesbrough but did very well !!!!

Didn't realise it was him, thought it was that c**t out of the Bill
