It will be a better atmosphere than the majority of the league games.

We need to get up there and provide some opposition to the huge wall of noise from the Wednesday end.

What a turn around from last season to this though. Great draw for us last year and we could play our fringe players and still feel very confident of turning these over. Wednesday should be massive favourites this year.

Sorry for suggesting a Saturday evening kickoff with the biggest away crowd of the season so far might be a good atmosphere

Give it a few months and you’ll be back to setting up a GoFundMe for FA Cup tickets

Didn't people say nobody would bother going to the Plymouth game too?

Can't see it being a good crowd myself.
Think that kick off time hasn't helped.

Not feeling any excitement about this one whatsoever.

Rest anyone carrying any kind of knock, but other than that keep the defence and keeper the same. I'd start rapha and play Simms at CF. Probably go with a midfield of Eccles, Rudoni and Torp.

I love a cup match, can't wait. I think we have a decent chance to get through this one. Similar standard to us and we're at home. I know they beat us earlier in the season but I still think we can do this. We played well in parts against Norwich and I think we can do again here. I hope Sakamoto is back in.

Buzzing for this, one off tie decided on the day, 6pm decent for beers, huge away following.

We need the performance and result as a club right now. Respect to those turning up.

Anything can happen on the day and most Championship teams these days don't field their full strength team for early cup rounds.

The thing with cup ties, its win or lose. There is no point in going for a draw. Therefore we need to score so playing one up top is not much use. Two up front please, and lets go for it

No FA Cup games are on Sky. They always split the games over the weekend. Basically the shitty ones are the late kick off slots

Not going to be a sell out, so would've thought so.

Agree a better season so far but this is a one off match in our City and I hope we send 5000 Wednesday fans home without anything to cheer about.

You would hope so, but it's probably worth a quick email to the ticket office to confirm mate.

Sales look absolutely dreadful. Worst home support since the league two days looking at it. Shef W fans will be rattling around in a three quarter empty stadium

I think both teams will rest players tbh. Lets see who's second string is better. Given the spend you'd hope ours but yeh, not so sure...
I never ever want us to lose, i hate losing any game, but put it this way, i won't lose sleep if we go out this year.

Saw on Twitter than Rohl has started coming out in the press calling for their owner to back him in the transfer market, wouldn't surprise me if he names a weakened side to prove a point if anything

Was surprised how quickly they shifted their tickets tbh. Shit time of year when everyone is broke, shit kick off time and now looks like shit weather against a team we play all the time while we're playing not exactly exciting football. Thats before you even consider the prospect of weakened teams being played.

Not entirely sure why I've bought a ticket!

Can’t bring myself to go to this one. So we’ll almost certainly win 4-0

Have bought my ticket, but the kick-off time is making me lean towards not attending. Means I won’t get home til 1030/1100.

How many counties worldwide are interested in watching this dog of a match??
