Because it will be reasonably enjoyable unlike the league game.
There will be a large following meaning a better atmosphere and matchday experience.
Add the fact it will be cheaper than the league game...
Sad really, when three points vs Chesterfield at home on New Year’s Day is arguably more important.
Agreed Stoke will be a pressure off game. But hardly in the big scheme of things anything as important as Three massive points vs Chesterfield.
Yet no doubt we may get more For Stoke.
Chesterfield should be a good crowd. They will bring a few (again not too far away). I reckon it may well be 10,000+ as long as we are still right up there and doing well.
I dunno. I go to league 1 games and whilst league is more important as a cov fan i am excited to play a premier league teamSad really, when three points vs Chesterfield at home on New Year’s Day is arguably more important.

Cup games are quite often exciting affairs and we will go all out for a win and Stoke will go all out for a win too. This isn't going to be one of the sit back, waste time, try not to lose kind of match-ups we have been encountering lately.Because it will be reasonably enjoyable unlike the league game.

Attendances tend not to surge all of a sudden. Even when Jimmy Hill took over that did not happen. It will take solid improvements over a period of time, we need to be higher up the table, consistently winning at home, and signing exciting players. There needs to be a 'buzz' around the club. We are a long way from any of that happening. Once fans have drifted away, they are hard to get back.On their forum they're working out how many tickets we have to give them because they expect them to be in demand. We're moaning about a shit draw and half empty ground.
You'd think we were there PL team and they were the ones getting excited about playing a team with some big names.
Not exactly a great sign for any potential buyers if we only get 15K for our first home game against a PL side in nearly 9 years.

I don't think we'll go 'all out for a win'. When has Robins ever done that? He'll more likely set up defensively, try to avoid defeat and hope to hit them on the break.Cup games are quite often exciting affairs and we will go all out for a win and Stoke will go all out for a win too.

Football fans have long memories!! It was 1980 according to this. The 10 worst examples of footballers behaving badly | Sport | The Observer, which ties in with how I remember it. Half my family are from Nottingham & my first away game was last game of the season at Forest in 1981. Shilton got dogs abuse throughout, but still made brilliant save after brilliant save.I was there for a game where everyone chanted "Tina" at Shilton and it was definitely against Derby, I think we won 3-0 with a lob by Gallacher. I never saw him play for Forest. I never knew the story but just remember being confused by the chant as young lad...
What division were we in when we beat Sunderland in 1963? Third division wasn't it? So 2 leagues difference. This would be 3.It's always great to see the players give it their all, especially given how many local lads are in the team.
If we beat Stoke, despite what people like to think, it would be one of, if not the biggest cup upset in our history.
I don't mean go all out in our play, I mean all out to win the match.I don't think we'll go 'all out for a win'. When has Robins ever done that? He'll more likely set up defensively, try to avoid defeat and hope to hit them on the break.
What drivel. Robins tries to win every game.I don't think we'll go 'all out for a win'. When has Robins ever done that? He'll more likely set up defensively, try to avoid defeat and hope to hit them on the break.
Why don't you have a look at the accounts for those years instead of rolling out this tired rubbish again. You'll see. No evidence that any of it went in SISU's back pocketI wouldn’t worry about gates or how much we make, we could draw st Home win the replay at Stoke, draw the big boys Man United get a full house at Old Trafford and not one penny will find itself towards the football side of things, remember Spurs away, Arsenal away and Man United away and the 13000 Sky Blue fans who made the trip to Old Trafford where did all those receipts go ? and I won’t even start on last seasons Wembley exploits.
Come on, Fernando, we all know this is the selfie Seppala took after bagging all those gate receipts.Why don't you have a look at the accounts for those years instead of rolling out this tired rubbish again. You'll see. No evidence that any of it went in SISU's back pocket

Pipe down you Northern Monkey !!Great draw for us!
Typical Coventry mongs already fucking moaning about special offers and low attendances.
Fuck me lads you may as well slit your wrists now...
Great draw-good premiership club who ARE beatable and we at home.
All you knobheads who want half price tickets or moan about 11k attendance for this match should stay at home-where you can moan even more about how shit we were.

I know it’s a premier league side but fuckin boring Stoke!
Good thing is Hughes will play a second string as I have a feeling they will be fighting to stay away from that third relegation spot.
Totally underwhelmed.
Wolves was a Championship side, 2 divisions above us so can't really compare.Just checked Stoke 3rd round line up for last season
They put a strong side out but still lost 0 2 at home to Wolves
21,000 there which I guess would have included a big number of Wolves fans

I used to like Fergie (& Wallace was my hero) but lay off the 'mong' stuff?
agreed. Klopp.made 10 changes when Liverpool played league two Plymouth last season and Exeter the season before, Bournemouth made 11 against Millwall. Stoke will undoubtedly made changes and play a more of a second string against us.Stoke in a potential relegation battle this year though?

There seems to be a big suggestion of reduced ticket pricing. Is this the norm? I can't remember the cost for the Chelsea game. I'd be surprised if they went lower than twenty quid for what will be a guaranteed decent crowd.

Yes but the game has moved on since then, the FA Cup an even lower priority for some clubs. The financial imperative of staying in the PL trumps allISTR when we were in the Premiership and struggling the managers used cup games against lower league opposition to improve morale. by winning
