I know just saying the only places we would take 9x our away support (12,186) would be Arsenal/Chelsea/Man U and I doubt you even get that many tickets at those grounds with the home demand

Nobody uses the term 'cup final' literally. It's just a light-hearted dig. This game offers them an opportunity for a day out. FA Cup away tie, just up the road against a bigger club that they haven't played in years. They'll bring a shed-load. To be expected and actually will make it a decent occasion.

for me personally, (as well as having a slightly vested interest due to my mrs and inlaws being sky blues) its part of our humble yet proud history that we were the first club saved by our supporters trust. Those same fans like Bryan Lomax then went on to help other clubs like wimbledon do the same. Maybe I'm a romantic but I'd rather our club was associated with that kind of thing rather than helping a spiv and his mates nick millions of pounds meant to help the club and pissing off two sets of supporters in the process.

For the older city fans on here in the Third Division when we were riding high under Jimmy Hill Northampton brought around fifteen thousand fans to Highfield Road.They looked on it as a big day out and certainly got behind their team.
They had a big fan base themselves back then !

Hmm, he was certainly an improvement on Kassam.
tbf he should be quite acquainted with the kind of situation at Northampton atm, so you might land on your feet if true.

[SUB]Sorry to any that I irked referring to a mini cuo final for the cobblers, I should have used the 'big day out' phrase. Still stick with my 4k following prediction.[/SUB]

It's a Midland derby with a bit of added spice. Or is it one for conspiracy theorists? The FA wouldn't fix the Cup draw would they? No! Never!

If they'd fixed the draw we'd be playing at Sixfields.

When I looked at the complete draw, it jumped out at me how many clubs were drawn against nearby opponents, Northern clubs against Northern Clubs, Southern clubs against Southern clubs. Coincidence?

Yeah that Plymouth v Carlisle derby made me suspicious.....
Did you see the draw, Stuart McCall couldn't get all the balls out the bag, calm down on your conspiracy theory.

Depending if it is selected for TV game, I wonder if there will be a ticket promo. Prob same as Worcester £10

Surely TV games will all be non league v league
Not L1 at home v L2
(Think us away at l2 AFC Wimbledon a couple of years ago was an exception due to 'histories' we were pretty fresh to L1 & they were just up from the conference & at home)
I don't want to mention the W word, but Wasps are at "home" on the Sunday. Can't see it being the Friday as there are some good ties for telly, such as Salford, Didcot and FC United of Manchester. Saturday it is then!
Also, I have had some requests already for info on best pubs for carrot crunching cobblers fans to drink in. Any (sensible) thoughts? Looking forward to the train journey, although they will have to put on some cattle wagons on for the local yokels!

TV would wreck the atmosphere at the game, and not as many would travel.

Well they used to drink in the Black Horse in Exhall but it is closed down by the looks of it went past today.
Best they go to Tescos and buy some cheap Cider.
