FA Cup 3rd Round Draw - Monday 2/12 (8 Viewers)

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I would imagine Owls fans will be as thrilled as we are with this draw.

Check their forum says as much

FFS Sheffield Wednesday at home.

This will be a good comparison between MR and FL. Thought their player, Charles? should have been sent off for the assault on Bidders in the league match which would probably resulted in a different outcome. Think Bidders will be out for payback.
Will pretty much show if King has been correct in his changes behind the scenes.
Oxford improved from last season, but not so much that we were lucky to win.

 

[Flying Fokker]

I doubt they'll be bothered. I'm happy to move back for a game.

If they bring over 4k, they'll have nearly as much as us.

Will be about 10-12k overall.

20-30k

 

[Tommo1993]

Meh. Not bad, not good, not boring, not exciting.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Bloody Man U ground on TV.

Yeah Sky Sports News and now the BBC, they can f*** off with their Man United lovin.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Any ITK tell us who can tell us what we got before the draw?

Sheffield Wednesday at home.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Good draw in my opinion. Decent game and will cost a lot less

And won't be live on TV and hopefully a 3pm kickoff.

Sheff Weds pls. Played them 14 times last year and a bit disappointed we’ve only played them the once this year.

So it's your fault?

Every year we think it'll be a crap crowd, and there's always more turn up than predicted.

 

[eyesee]

Fair chance they’ll want 15% of the tickets as well. 4.8k?

That won’t go down well with the block 10-14 people.

i'll leave a big shit on my seat for them.

Cup games kick off at random times so just as likely 12.30 or a Sunday lunchtime

 

[Otis]

What a wank draw

I prefer to acknowledge it in a more civilised manner, but each and every to their own.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

At least there are no more replays.

If it's priced at £15 for adults and £10 seniors and young adults and £5 for u16s I think we will get more than you think.

Much will come down to Doug and his wish to maximise profits and how well the team is playing.

17k with 3k away fans would be my prediction.

Not when Doug charges them £37 they won't.

 

[RobinsSkyBlues]

Not a good draw but could have been a lot worse. At least we're not away to a Championship side near the top of the table.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Very disappointing draw.

Not at all exciting but the sort of game we could easily lose.

Hopefully we will win and it will kickstart our league performances.

 

[shmmeee]

Not a great draw but another game for Lampard to get his ideas across against a club in our league with no pressure. I wonder if we’ll play a full strength side this year.

 

[Boicey]

Guess both teams will rest quite a few players.
That's where our squad depth wins the day.
Right?

That squad depth in all its glory:



Not sure where it’s got 4 managers from, maybe that’s the squad depth.

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Saturday 6pm - urgh

 

[clint van damme]

Should be a huge TV audience.
Just the sort of thing people want to spend their Saturday evening watching.

 

[SBT]

What am I missing - why is a 6pm kickoff time bad?

 

[lord_garrincha]

What am I missing - why is a 6pm kickoff time bad?

A brain.

Only joking... but it's rubbish.

Funny thing is that we lost a few 3pm Sat kos in the cup run... a cup run that had no 3pm Sat kos!

 

[Tommo1993]

More shite.

You seem to be becoming the new contrarian! It's horrific and absolutely pointless.

What are folk supposed to do about dinner/tea, especially with kids.

The game will be finished at 8pm - I don’t know what time you tend to eat, but that seems pretty convenient.

It’s a much more sociable kickoff time than 12:30pm, that’s for sure (don’t get me started on lunchtime arrangements for those)

 

[David O'Day]

international tv i think

 

[SBT]

It might actually be the most convenient kickoff time of all, you know

Got errands/work/family/football commitments during the day? No problem
Plans to go out after the game? No problem
Need to travel a long distance to reach the ground? No problem
Strict policy of only eating dinner between the hours of 6pm-8pm? OK, that technically is a problem

Lol. I don't know where to start with that 'convenience' tbh.

Me and my boy getting home at gone 9pm on a Sat night sounds a right laugh for us and the rest of my family

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Ridiculous kick off time my lad will be playing the following morning and has a strict 8pm to bed before a match, then to not put it on tv in the uk makes it worse. I hope Doug prices it at the lowest point possible for us and the highest possible for them. Fuck the fa and their foreign audience.

 

[chiefdave]

the most ridiculous part of this is you can't watch it in the UK. move the match for TV but don't let anyone watch it, genius.

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Utter. Woke. Nonsense.
