Hope so. Would obviously rather win the league game than a Cup tie

Oh good, we could still play Bristol City at home on the 26th then, and go to Sheffield on the 27th.

What do we reckon the allocation will be? What does their two tier away stand hold?

Depends if the tickets are cheap and they give us a bigger allocation.

I know they can't fully open the away end anymore but if they found a way of giving us 6000, the lure of a big away following at £15 would be big.

Is Bristol City likely to be moved mid-week then, and any indication as to when it will be?

I saw a stat once, when two teams play each other back to back in league and cup games it's rare that a team wins both. I know it should be meaningless, but one of those weird football anomalies that we'll no doubt add to.

Its BS that the PL clubs can draw against each other in the 4th round:

Fulham v Newcastle United
Sheffield United v Brighton & Hove Albion
Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City

Any one of those clubs would have been a decent pay day for lower league clubs.

But knowing us we'll get Swansea or Wednesday away.

all hail @San Francisco the latest ITK

we played Sheff Weds in the league the week before we played them again in the cup in 1987. That turned out well for everyone apart from Dean Emerson.

we also played them the week before Sutton United in 1989.

This better not finish a draw, last thing we need is fixture congestion and a fourth tie against Wednesday.

Sorry that I’m not thrilled that we’re playing Sheffield Wednesday three times in 32 days. That’s really the pinnacle of football, I should be bouncing around the room. Best FA Cup draw in years!! Who wants an exciting tie against a big side when we can play a team from the same division yet again!

God, any chance to have a little dig with some people isn’t it. Really embarrassing stuff.

We’ll probably win, Bristol City beat West Ham, win their tie and we draw each other.

Alternatively it means the odds of underdogs getting further just went up. There will be 10 premier league teams maximum in the 5th round. That feels low.
