QF Draw (25 Viewers)

[Ashdown]

Underwhelming all round for anyone without a chance of a ticket to either venue

Crap draw. Dunno why people are saying it's winnable really. Both are comfortable in the league and will be focusing on this as a huge opportunity seeing as neither has won anything in years.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Wouldn’t of hand picked that but at this stage of the competition you have to take what comes.

Having said that after seeing what Man City reserves did to Luton last night I’m glad we avoiding them.

De Bruyne and Haaland aren’t exactly reserve players ‘poke.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I think for the cup 4800 roughly at both!

4,500 at Molineux. It’ll be the corner again and Steve bull lower.

 

[pusbccfc]

Brighton would have been brilliant but it's on a Sunday. Spoilt it.

 

[HerneBayGaz]

Showing my age, but this draw is not the same as sitting in my car listening to the draw on the radio at a lunchtime on a Monday.

Couldn't agree more. Those were the days. And know one knew what numbers the teams were..

That SBL is the worst away end I'm the top two tiers of English football.

It’s horrific

It really is. Atmosphere killer.

 

[Otis]

Every game was going to possibly be a loss, including Leicester ffs.

we have a chance against both Wolves and Brighton

Exactly.

All tough games from here on in, but we most certainly have a better chance against Brighton or Wolves than we would do against Man City and Liverpool.

We DO have a chance here. There IS the potential to go through and I am encouraged if Brighton have a European game on the Thursday night. That could help us

Not the best draw at all, but a winnable game perhaps and also now probably avoided a hammering

 

[skybluericoh]

32050 capacity at Wolves so should be 5-6000 30666 at the Amex so roughly the same nicer place but longer to get back if we lose

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If I had to pick, would rather Brighton. Better day out, better stadium and they are prone to wobbly performances even at home.

Not really keen on sharing train space with the big chinned dingles

 

[Otis]

Brighton seemingly have a European game on the Thursday before, so that helps for sure.

It’s 4,500 at Molineux

 

[Bidda]

I tour Molineux every other Monday, I know it better than the CBS, so it’s fitting.

H&SI?

 

[pusbccfc]

Brighton would surely be focusing on Roma the Thursday night?

 

[wingy]

Of course it's Wolves as that chap texted team's in ochreish colours fall by the wayside when they meet us.
Gives a new slant on the torp chant as well.
Get out of it and adopt the talk talk anthem!

 

[Evo1883]

Not exactly "winnable" per se is it , 7th and 9th in the premier league , both above Chelsea and Newcastle

To win would still be a big shock

 

[skyblueelephant76]

That probably means it will be a Sunday if we play them

 

[pusbccfc]

It’s 4,500 at Molineux

Liverpool got 4800

 

[Otis]

Brighton would surely be focusing on Roma the Thursday night?

Exactly. They would not prioritise our cup game over the European game. Absolutely no way.

 

[Otis]

That probably means it will be a Sunday if we play them

Yup. Most certainly.

 

[Matt smith]

I’d rather have wolves as it’s more likely to be on a Saturday

 

[Jarvo87]

Initial reaction is same as most, absolute shite draw. On reflection, there are no easy games at this stage of a competition and both potential opponents are currently top half premier league so will be a real test of where we are in our development. in terms of progression then it could be viewed as a home draw would have meant higher expectation, so of the potential away draws then either Brighton or Wolves could be winnable in a one off tie. Personally would prefer Wolves as I think Brighton are the more consistently performing team and have a different style of play. Throw in a localish derby, which might be a leveller depending how we approach it.
Irrelevant in a way as I think Brighton will actually beat the dingles…..

 

[Flying Fokker]

Anyway, I think you are all insane not wanting the best chance to progress, but let's see what the draw brings.

Will make the whole conversation

How many tickets for each?

The calculation is quite simple in the FA Cup.

Prior to the semi-final and final, which are played at Wembley, visiting clubs are allowed up to 15 per cent of all tickets for the stadium they are playing at.

That is unless 15 per cent of the stadium exceeds 9,000. So clubs travelling to Old Trafford, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the London Stadium and the Emirates Stadium will have their allocations capped at 9,000, unless the home clubs are willing to offer more.

Despite the calculation seeming quite simple, there are still a few stipulations.

The visiting club must make a request for the amount of tickets they would like for their fans within four days of the draw. More often than not, teams will request the full 15 per cent but, in some scenarios, they will take fewer tickets than they are allowed.

In the instance that not all away tickets are sold by the visiting club, the remaining tickets must be returned to the home club on or (preferably) before the day of the match.

The tickets in the away end are not the only ones that are accessible to the visiting club. They are also entitled to a third of seats usually reserved and known as “home and visiting directors’ seats” up to a maximum of 24 seats.

The disabled facilities must also be separated. The visiting club have the right to claim 15 per cent of those seats as well.

Visiting clubs will not always be guaranteed 15 per cent of the seats throughout the stadium, though.

The Safety Advisory Group (SAG) must also agree to the away allocation that has been proposed. The SAG is made up of representatives of services including the police, fire, ambulance and building authority.

For fixtures that pose risks to health and safety, they can choose to decrease allocations for visiting clubs.

No, I agree. We do have a chance at least though and I am more confident of not being thrashed.

 

[Evo1883]

Brighton will focus on the FA cup 100% a trophy they have never won

How are Brighton more consistent? Wolves are 5th in the form table over the last 10 games

 

[TwistAndShoutCCFC1987]

The London stadium is worse

 

[Otis]

The FA Cup over the Europa League it whatever it's called?

Really?

They have never won that one either.

 

[napolimp]

Wolves fan tonight then.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Brighton will focus on the FA cup 100% a trophy they have never won

Not sure on your point as they haven’t won a European trophy either?

 

[Otis]

Not sure on your point as they haven’t won a European trophy either?

Exactly.

Don't get that argument at all.

 

[pusbccfc]

The London stadium is worse

Not much in it.

If we were playing in the London Stadium we'd have had 9000 too.

 

[Tommo1993]

H&SI?

Nothing important like that
