Fifth Round... / Brighton Ticket Details (11 Viewers)

[hill83]

I'm just pleased we haven't got soemone like Man City away. A 10-0 pasting wouldn't have done the players confidence any good going back into the more important league games.

Plus the players won't be having half an eye on their 'big day out' during the more important league games.

The league games are more important than this sideshow. It's a giggle, but it's a sideshow.

Their fans are buzzing about this, home match and all see it as an easy win

[Albion] Coventry at HOME

To be fair if it were the other way round, we would probably feel the same.

Thought the comments were pretty fair, and some of the SISU out support showed a bit of class from fans who have been through it themselves in the past. I had forgotten what they went through, so to see where they are now gives me hope that one day we might get there too.

 

[Sick Boy]

But deflated by the draw to be honest, 30,500 capacity so likely 4500 allocation if we desire.

What's the trains like to access Falmer?

Think they are every 15 mins on a match day

 

[skybluetony176]

Knowing we got Man U away in the rehearsal makes this seem worse than it is. Why do they even have a rehearsal, pour the balls in, pull the balls out, it ain't rocket science

Two words. Robbie Savage. Ain’t exactly the sharpest tool in the box, although he is a tool non the less

 

[Otis]

Good draw, if only for tomorrow night.

If it was Man City, or Spurs at Wembley, or Man U or Chelsea, that's all everyone would be talking about and I bet the players too. A big distraction

This is now a nothing to see here, move along, which is perfect for focus on tomorrow night if nowt else.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Their fans seem confident of a win and also appear keen to support any SISU out campaign we might want to roll out (though of course, we might all be concentrating on the cup). Appears we will get around just under 5,000 tickets.

 

[Sick Boy]

Their fans are very decent and a good bunch.

 

[Speng]

I’m going but I’m soooo pissed off

 

[Otis]

5 out of the 8 ties wil be on tv.

Cant see West Brom vs Southampton being on tv or Sheffield Wednesday v Notts County/Swansea or Leicester v Sheffield United

Are you sure about that? I asked before and don't think I got an answer.

You sure it is 5 out of 8. Might well have been in previous rounds, but now we are only down to 8 ties.

Are we saying that even if more than 3 ties are awful, 1 of those games would still be on live?

 

[Liquid Gold]

I'm just pleased we haven't got soemone like Man City away. A 10-0 pasting wouldn't have done the players confidence any good going back into the more important league games.

Their confidence would be even worse if we get a 10-0 pasting by Brighton.

I thought so too, very reasonable comments considering you'd assume Newport won't get past Spurs so we'd be the lowest ranked team. We'd definitely have taken that in the Prem days. Seem a good bunch, nice to see some support for our plight, they went through hell and back so fair plays to them

 

[hill83]

Definitely. I don't think that's as likely though. Man City are basically another planet compared to us. We can give Brighton a game.

Yeah. Said the same thing.... sort of.

Best possible draw.

Please Mr.Barber,
Go as low as possible with home and away fan ticket pricing, to get a huge crowd.

Hoping we back Coventry fans with their SISU OUT campaign.

I am going by the previous rounds. I'm sure the slots like :

Friday night
Saturday Lunchtime,
Saturday late afternoon/evening
Sunday 2 games

I'm assuming these slots are there.

 

[hill83]

Yeah. Said the same thing.... sort of.

 

[Ashdown]

No disrespect to Brighton, it's just the distance and away tie that is so frustrating. BHA at home would have seen 25k plus at the Ricoh !

 

[Liquid Gold]

I'm fairly certain Man City would basically pass the ball about between themselves if they got 3-0 up against a league 2 side

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

we very well could catch them on a off day you just never know imagine the scenes we got through be amazing really.

 

[nmp2327]

Gutted by the draw, feels like an anti climax, let's hope for a draw and back to ours.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

I think it seems crap as we were still in the bowl with last remaining undrawn teams Man city/Wigan /Brighton

And we all had eyes on praying for Man City.

Mate our allocation will be sold out in hours.

 

[pusbccfc]

The Brighton end will he empty and loads of Coventry fans will miss out due to a reasonably small allocation.

 

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

Brilliant, a weekend away on the south coast for the Stone Island brigade. Where are we all meeting to chuck bottles around and sing don’t take me home?

 

[Astute]

About the worst draw we could get

1. Not a big day out against a top team
2. Very little chance of beating a premier league team
3. Not going to be a big earner

What division are Stoke in?

 

[mds]

Home or away we have a better chance against these than half of the teams left in, woulda prefered home but it is what it is, winnable!

 

[Liquid Gold]

Probably Wetherspoons

 

[Johhny Blue]

That's how we felt after the 4th round draw. Roll on last 8

 

[Liquid Gold]

What division are Stoke in?

What we're the odds of us beating Stoke? What will the odds be of us beating Brighton? You put the maths together and it means we're even less likely to win.

 

[wingy]

Only one question really, what's the payday £150K-£200K?

 

[hill83]

Probably worth taking your own bottles down, it's a bit pricey down there.

 

[Moff]

Only one question really, what's the payday £150K-£200K?

1.1 million if you are Glenn Murray (allegedly)

 

[rupert_bear]

Be interesting how Hughton plays this they have Southampton, West Ham and Stoke before the cup tie could be well in the drop zone after them then Arsenal, and Everton and Man City away after don’t think he’ll play his full team

 

[MusicDating]

Same as the last two rounds, don't get the negativity! Couldn't been better, could've been worse.

We'd have probably got 25k if we'd drawn them at home, which will be the same at theirs and we get 45% of gate monies either way. Only difference is how many Cov fans can go of course, and I'll probably miss out, but as I'm not a STH I can't complaint.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

I’m going but I’m soooo pissed off

About the draw? Jesus Christ, it's a random draw for a football match....
