FA Cup - 2023/24

[rigger]

I am hoping for a home draw, as we are planning to use Jacks Kitchen if it is. 

[wilsdenrover]

Home to Cambridge United

[Tugayisgod]

More chance of plaiting sawdust, than us being a telly pick.

[Mattyblue]

Obviously won’t be a main BBC or ITV pick, but they do move the KO of a load of random games for overseas TV in the third round.

Waggott will already be planning to shut the Blackburn End 😁

This game represents an opportunity to attract youngsters by making it free for kids with a paying adult. Some thought needs to go into this rather than their usual copy and paste mentality.

Also the Riverside and the Darwen end, every one in the Jack Walker

[Mattyblue]

Yep the precedent has been set for the Blackburn End.

But why they can’t just put the Cambridge fans in the JWL and shut the Darwen End instead is beyond me (and it is something they’ve done before, was it Barnet in the cup in the L1 season?).

Another Fan Takeover needed… 😉

£5 generall admission for all,not expecting anything that encourages a crowd though,there is zero ambition or progressive thinking  behind the scenes at ewood

[tomphil]

Why not make it a tenner in the BBE and quid a kid then £15 adults in the JW then people have the choice and it will drag in a couple more thousand.

A likely sub 1k following of Cambridge fans in the JW lower far end so the downgrader can delight in closing the DE instead. 

Apply some thinking that is of consideration to home fans and don't pretend those from the south present any problem that needs extra policing.

Brilliant draw. Was always hoping to get to play Cambridge as I know many Us fans from work etc. Might manage to extend my christmas break to get this game in

Don't you need Cambridge's agreement to change in ticket prices ?

Home club sets the price (I think with a £10 minimum for adults)

Away fans can only be charged more than away fans by mutual agreement.

found the rule…

Tossbag better not shut the bbe.

Love 3rd Rd day but if he shuts it he can knob off again.

to much hassle for swag to arrange a price that will suit both parties,he`ll just shut the bbe end again,the greasy looking pillock

Just noticed we haven’t played Cambridge since Shearer’s cruciate gave way fully in January 1993.

Ive never understood how he did it against Leeds on Boxing Day, and yet our medical staff somehow put him on the pitch against Cambridge in a league cup game a couple of weeks later only for him to break down almost straight away.

I think the lowest that the club can charge is £10

If I was Cambridge United I’d be enacting (e) and (f)…

We won 3-2  that night. If so, I was there with an American girl I was seeing at the time. She’d never been to a footie game before (or ever again) John Francis was getting boo’d all night on their right wing.

The only better draw for you would have been Rovers away to Cambridge. Lewis Travis captain for the day, what do you think ? 

[simongarnerisgod]

deadly marksmanship by future rover al hamadi😁
