FA Cup 1st round (1 Viewer)

[Ccfcsj]

Draw is on Sunday - we're number 13

What are the odds of us getting Leyton Orient again I wonder?

Or villa away....?

(Yes, I know..... It's meant to be unlikely....)

 

[_brian_]

79/1.

(Additional text to meet minimum character limit! LOL!)

 

[davebart]

The odds will be the number of teams in the hat minus one to 1.

 

[jabharty]

Nuneaton away, anyone?

 

[SkyBlueCharlie]

Nuneaton away, anyone?

With number of fans likely to attend that fixture would they move it to a larger stadium, you know that big, empty one just down the road from the Nuns ground?

Interesting point, but it's unlikely.

 

[pusbccfc]

Northampton away... Or Vauxhall Motors away

 

[ExmouthNeil]

If we got Northampton 'away' (as in they are the home team) would more City fans go??? Now that would be a slap in the face for SISU... ointlaugh:

 

[covcity4life]

99p tickets?

I'd be there!

 

[skybluelee]

I said before that it would make a brilliant statement if we sold out the away allocation at shitfields.

However, my pref is Weymouth away pls! Failing that, Poole Town.

NOPM should avoid all Cup games as I think that the gate money is shared equally after expenses, FA fees etc.

Generally about 40% of gate receipts go to each team.

Local derby v Corby

True, but I guess the point is that the statement that it would make would outweigh the "damage" to NOPM.

Won't happen anyway - Orient away is nailed on

 

[edgy]

Got to be Nuneaton away.

 

[dadgad]

So, IF we draw Norfampterton AWAY we're at HOME. This is so wrong, it makes a mockery of the game.....and so unfair on the home team. I think the FL should conduct an inquiry.

 

[ajsccfc]

Eh? Teams sharing a stadium and playing each other isn't exactly a rarity.

inter milan and ac milan make a mockery of the game 2 times a year!

 

[sky blue zam]

northampton away we should sell out. northampton at home we should boycott. but so obvious its orient away with a replay to follow, lol

 

[LastGarrison]

Northampton away in the cup would send this place into meltdown.

 

[TurkeyTrot]

No no no, you have it all wrong. We want Daventry Town to win this Saturday and then draw them away. I've been chatting with someone who does some work for them. They will try to change the venue to the Ricoh if this happens.

 

[mark82]

So it's just NOPM when we feel like it then?

Yep - Boycott a home match, pack out the away end for the replay. That would get good media coverage.

Only my view but it should be balanced by the impact other statements would make. For example, selling out an away allocation at Northampton.

NOPM is working well, though. For example, I note you can still buy all sizes of the new kit that went on sale two weeks ago. They only released 500, didn't they? I wish they'd move us home because I want one.

Didn't well sell 10,000 of the retro 60s one a couple of years ago?

 

[ajsccfc]

What a kit that was.

Then may as well not bother with NOPM

Do you really think SISU would agree that and be faced with their biggest crowd of the season!

 

[ajsccfc]

If it's between ACL and Daventry, Sisu don't have a choice surely?

 

[Cheshire Sky Blue]

Wouldn't that be just classic

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Exeter City Away..

 

[sky blue john]

Im just surprised Sisu haven't reduced us to having to qualify to get into the first round !!!!

 

[shmmeee]

Yeah, but those clubs have no future, they don't own the freehold...

 

[covcity4life]

inter milan are looking to build their own stadium however as they believe it is a requirement to generate profit.
