Why any Rovers fan would elect to go to Liverpool to watch Stanley ahead of a similar journey to Middlesbrough to watch Rovers is beyond me 

I've very little time for the Rovers fans that go to watch Stanley instead of us, whatever the fact tbh.

Another nail in English football and its traditions, having no FA Cup replays is a disgrace.  It’s all about the big clubs and money, hang yours heads in shame English FA!

I think people’s issues with the removal of replays (well certainly mine) aren’t really related to the change of likelihood of the underdog winning. It’s more to do with the removal (as seen yest

Kelly Somers managed to get RVN's Leicester, Wayne Rooney's Plymouth and Frank Lampard's Coventry into consecutive sentences there. Stop all that bollocks and have some fucking respect for them.

I enjoy going to Stanley but I wouldn't to at the expense of missing a Rovers match. I have seen them three or four times this season mainly on international breaks. I would like to watch them at Anfield so hopefully our game at Boro and their game are played on different days.

No problem at all if that's an addition to going Rovers. But I'm sure there will be plenty of Rovers folk who will decline going to Middlesbrough yet will rush to Anfield to watch that instead. Very odd mentality in my opinion.

Let's hope we draw the winners of their match, in the fourth round.

I work with a Stanley fan who has attended Ewood with me for some of the League / FA Cup games in the past. (Generally a football fan who saw the appeal of cheap tickets against a good club)

If it had been at the Crown Ground I'd have probably gone with him to this with Rovers being away. But I CBA travelling to Liverpool.

Correct. No point turning out otherwise.

For a Championship level club it's not even beyond the scope of realism. Hell a league 2 club reached a domestic final not too long ago. Not to mention for some clubs it may be their only real chance of a honour or the only thing they will win (besides a lower league title, promotion or competitions for lower league clubs) in living memory. Of course because of Jack Walker (who was unfit in the eyes of that idiot who owns Accrington) that isn't the case for many people on here.

Agreed away at Boro is shit.

I want ust to get as far as possible in the competition. I want to win it.

I don't see playing the likes of the red scum or Arsenal as a glamour tie. We played these teams twice a year at least until the venkys virus infestation happened so yes, it is small time.

The United game was more a case of banter with a few work colleagues if we had played. 

Spurs away would be great as it's one stadium I would like to visit

Saturday at 12 noon.

Overseas TV coverage must be desperate.

Apart from a couple of games, not much excitement for the neutral in most game

Given this my opinion and my own account, yes to your question. 

I wouldn't have mind Salford away or Harrogate. Not sure if all 4 or 5 of us would have got a ticket at Salford or Harrogate away. 

A PL ground away, most likely

Had to change fucking train times this morning because of kick off time change. The times and dates for teams is an absolute joke. Things you do for rovers. Love the fa cup I’m a traditionalist and with no replays may get more than you bargained for

I absolutely agree but really we have got off quite lightly. There are three games to be played on Thursday 9th with Sheffield United v Cardiff and Everton v Peterborough included in them. The FA are supposed to be the guardians of the game in this country but have sold their souls to the devil for money. And that wouldn't be so bad if some of that money filtered down to grass roots football but I see no evidence of that.

Sheffield United v Cardiff has been selected by BBC Wales and whilst Everton v Peterborough will be shown on the BBC I player. Why couldn't both games been played on Sunday instead. 

I think some of the games picked by BBC and ITV are strange and they have struggled to pick their tv games cos the lack of potential shocks.

As a matter of interest, does anyone know Stanley's allocation at Pool and how many they've sold?

Thanks.

Looking at the Stanley site, their away allocation sold out in mid December. Can’t see how many they were allocated but the away section at Anfield ‘typically’ holds 3k. Can’t see that they asked for any more and I think it would have been unlikely for them to shift the whole of the lower tier. So, presumably 3k.
