[Tim Southampton Rover]

I'm currently watching Hinkley vs Brentford and I wouldn't fancy playing them at their ground, its pretty shocking compared with the league grounds.

Would be an excellent day out though!

[Hasta]

Just watching the FA Cup football on BBC now.

It's poor, amateurish, dull, second-rate, uninteresting and the kind of dross you never get served up on sky.

And thats just the commentary!

[Ewood Dream]

Ah well, I survived Millwall so Cardiff can't be too bad

At least it's a ground I've never been to.

Dingles have got Liverpool.

[millionpints]

Burnley v Liverpool!!!

C'mon Steven Gerrard and pals!

[Tango]

Exeter and Yeading must be rubbing their hands with glee! So wanted Exeter to be at home though...

By the way, when are these games played?

[Eddie]

Not too tought, but maybe a little harder than I would have hoped for in the first game.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

played over 8th/9th of January.

Will Gabbidon be a Rover then?

[Robertson]

8th and 9th of Jan.

Any of the south west crew want to go across to the game??????

[Claytons Left Boot]

Ah well, I survived Millwall so Cardiff can't be too bad

Glenn - organise a five a side to get in the Soul Crews' good books!

[Tim Southampton Rover]

is there a train station close by?

[ally]

How to get to cardiff city

Apparently it is a quarter of a mile away from the ground!

Dont forget to take your tin helmets on the day lads 'n' lasses!!

The hostile home crowd will make a change from the normal drab Premiership encounters.

Will Gabbidon be a Rover then?

will gabbidon be cup-tied?

seems like fate had a hand in the draw though, what with sparky and his welsh roots. here's to a winning start in his first ever fa cup tie as manager and in his homeland as well.

[92er]

It's a tough match for Hughes.

[AndyT]

Good Draw , Gunna be going that 1.

[Linny8]

Have they still got terracing in the away stand? From what I can remember Cardiff can be a half decent night out. SHEEP SHEEP SHEEP SH4GGERS

[philipl]

What a magnificent set of ties. Not one all Prem game and Man U v Exeter and Yeading v Newcastle marvelous roy of the rovers stuff. Really pleased for Exeter after all their financial troubles.

Thirteen Prem v Championship ties, eight with the Prem club playing away.

There will be Premiership casualties and have to say that Rovers must be likely candidates for an early exit although not the most obvious.

The Bluebirds are massively under performing and the Rovers probably do not have that edge in class needed to put an uppety lower division side in its place. A nervous replay at a chilly half empty Ewood is a quite likely outcome.

[Manchester Blue]

Yes the y still have some terracing as you can see here though they do have seats at the front which looks quite bizarre. Never been so really looking forward to it.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We should recieve about 1,000 tickets.
