FA Cup Draw

[Mike E]

A tie against 'Ryan Reynolds' Wrexham would suit me.

Have you watched 'we are Wrexham' (i think thats what its called) on Disney+. Its made me keep an eye out for their results

Newcastle or Leicester at home please. or even Accrington Stanley at home 

With you there Chaddy - Stanley at Ewood would be good (more so for them but they deserve it).

 

I have a feeling we'll be away to a south coast team

ffs

[simongarnerisgod]

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Not a good draw.

I really enjoyed it.

About as crap a draw as could get. 

[Exiled_Rover]

For anyone reading this thread wondering who we got - it's Norwich away.

[chaddyrovers]

what a boring and uninspiring draw that is. 

I guess the TV companies will be covering these games for sure

Manchester City v Chelsea, Oxford United v Arsenal, Manchester United v Everton, Sheffield Wednesday v Newcastle United, Dagenham & Redbridge or Gillingham v Leicester City and possibly Middlesbrough v Brighton & Hove Albion

Thanks Exiled. Was wondering> Why do we always get s**t draws? 

[iacok]

I was at Uni in Sheffield. Still have mates there. 

What a good draw Wednesday V Barcodes. Could be biggest crowd at Hillsborough for a while.

 

Might go. 

 

Would rather do Norwich but doesn't work for me midweek.

[Mattyblue]

Norwich away twice in three weeks. Deep joy…

[GHR]

Never been to Carrow Road but Norwich itself is a brilliant city in a lovely part of the world (even if it is a pain to get to!). Sadly, I can't get to either of the two fixtures we have there this season!

It’s not midweek. It’s the weekend of 7th/8th January, as usual for the 3rd round.

Very surprised that Dagenham & Redbridge or Gillingham v Leicester City hasn't been picked

Why would it be picked over Liverpool v Wolves, watching that great fixture twice a season isn't enough!

(I agree that it should be)

cos they might be massive upset. Which I like watching. 

Wolves under the new head coach might provide a shock hopefully 

[JPTSwindon]

Cor blimey! Really couldn’t have been much worse (I am sure Norwich feel the same!)

Will both teams rotate players or try for a decent cup run? In the League Cup we’ve gone for the rotation.

[chaddyrovers]

Norwich FA game moved to Sunday 2pm kickoff time for overseas TV coverage 

[roversfan99]

Who on earth wants to watch that abroad? Match going fans not considered again.

[Mattyblue]

It’s bizarre, as part of this broadcasting deal, they pick a load of random fixtures every 3rd round for overseas TV.

Another choice… Grimsby v Burton. They’ll be queuing up down the street to get a prime spot in the bars of Singapore for that one.

[roverinmontreal]

Does anyone know about ticket info for this game? I’m going to be in the UK so I’m planning to make it the first game I’ve actually attended since moving to Canada 15 years ago! So far there’s no info on on the rovers site, but tickets are on general sale for Norwich fans on their site…

There are a few of us believe it or not.

But I fully accept that such a move is against the interest of fans who want to go to the game 

It's all about Sky and £££££
