[Archived] Fa Cup 4th Round Draw

[MCMC1875]

FAC R4, UEFA Cup last 32, climbing the league - not bad at all for a small town club. Hughes for the chop? - don't make me laugh. It doesn't get much better than this. This is why it is so much better following Rovers than a big city club.

BTW happy memories of the midweek game at Loftus Road in April '95, drinking Guinness with the late great Peter White before the game and singing champions songs hanging out of the sunroof going down the A4 afterwards.

can't really grumble with a qpr or luton tie can we?

with quite a few premiership games in the 4th round, if we can get our name in the hat for the next round things could get exciting and maybe wembley dreaming will start.

come on luton!!! beat the R's. i'd love to sit in oak road end of kenilworth in my blue and white shirt singing for the rovers!! crap stadium but great atmosphere!

being from luton it is hard to see blackburn much so im delighted with the draw

[Jordan]

Nice draw from us and one which means we should progress into round 5.

Will we know the date before the reply or will we need to wait a week or so?

QPR have been given 1750 tickets for the replay. Would that be enough for us?

[brfc_jonesy]

Thats all of oak road, which is for the away fans, the stadium only holds just under 10,000 i think

Judging by how many went to Everton id say so

Luton is Rovers number one bogey side. We've NEVER won at Kenilworth Road.

Its a horrible tight little ground with a terrible surface. Mike Newell will be keen to show Rovers what he can do to motivate a team as well.

Both teams are capable of upsetting the Rovers but I fear Luton far more.

With Watford, Man City, QPR/Luton and Chelsea away all a matter of weeks I'd say 1750 should be enough. Its a good time but an expensive time to be a Rover.

[gazsimm]

Keeley took out one of their players (Fucillo ?) with a neck high challenge , Jimmy Hill said it was the worst tackle he'd ever seen

[ABBEY]

i knew i remered something from the day out in the ford trannyvan.

That was at Ewood on a bone hard icy pitch. Funnily enough I was thinking about that just the other day given the Niemi incident.

As I remember it Killer kicked the guy ten feet up in the air and he came down vertically on his head and neck in very similar fashion.

[ABBEY]

oops rev back to beeer memories then

I can remember the incident and the players, just 200 miles away with the ground. Must be getting old

That's a sobering thought although when was the last time we even played them? Surely we can break this particular duck.

.... just checked on Roversmad Head to Head ... it was 1982
