FA CUP

[chaddyrovers]

Would like Spurs or Accy Stanley at home

[Cherry Blue]

Stanley, Woking or Burnley at home would add a bite to the third round but got a feeling it will be Pompey away.

Exciting times.

 

The balls are out.

Newcastle away. Terrible!

[Stuart]

Put em away man. Family site!

[Stuart]

That’s a dreadful draw. But at the same time it’ll be a great occasion.

The Keith Gillespie Derby. 

[superniko]

I quite like that draw. Premiership team, should sell fairly well and a great stadium for a booze up (centrally located)

[blueboy3333]

Do the rules still apply on the away side getting a % of the total tickets? Is it 15%?

Boring draw we’ve played them recently and probably won’t go through. 

[oldjamfan1]

Great draw for me. 

[Bbrovers2288]

Too many toon fans as friends for that to be a good draw for me

Me too, my daughters live up there so can make a weekend of it.

Might be pushing it to beat them 3x on the trot but if we can beat them twice on the trot with Coyle in charge who knows?

Hope TM treats it as seriously as a League game.

[CD_93]

Armstrong hat trick. Easy.

[JBiz]

I’ll be skint in jan but fancy it 

[Mattyblue]

15% of the ground, so 8,000. Doubt we’d even need a quarter of that!

We’ll get 45% of the gate receipts though, Waggott will be hoping their fans don’t arrange a boycott!

Great draw - nothing to lose so go up there and in the words of G. Bowyer, ‘give it a right good go’

Play 4 up front. Then put Brereton on at left back for the last 10 minutes.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Give it a good go this time. Win, lose or draw lets see how far we can go.  A tough draw but we've won there before a few times.

[Vinjay]

If you're playing Newcastle in a cup competition it's not usually much to worry about ?. If you insist on attending every game it's not the worst place to visit is it? It's the most recent away game (the 1-0 win 2 years ago) I attended actually. 

Kinda laughed at the Boring Name FC v Barnsley draw. Battle of the marketing goldmine names.

Happy with that, great day out and definitely winnable too, can't believe people are saying it's a bad draw! 

[old darwen blue]

We will beat them pretty sure we’ve a good record up there.  Hope for a good supporter turnout as well. 

[Claytons Left Boot]

Will probably suffer a narrow defeat but it is also a game that is winnable.

Interesting draw we've an ok record up there, should take a few this time depending on price/tv hopefully we play without fear.

Would think the suits at Ewood will be hoping for a draw so they can charge top whack in a replay, get tv coverage, fleece the Geordies, open all the ground then sit back and moan when it's nowhere near full ! 

[chaddyrovers]

Good draw for us

Yeah a replay would be great. I expect it to be full of Sunderland fans who'll be there to boo Rodwell !
