They’ll sell out I’m sure - for them anything around a two hour journey or less is considered a local derby

Could be better, could be worse. Hopefully Doug prices it properly. Will Ed Shearer be there?

To be fair, they are normally a decent lot and have had yrs of crap like us but made a good decision on the manager. Should be good and a good crowd expected

It’s 3 hrs. But they should sell 4.9k if the game is on a Saturday. Friday is a bit harder. They travel in good numbers as was apparent on the last time they came here.

£20 would be ok??
Click to expand...

If it's £20 I think the crowd would be lower than yesterday (depending on kick off times etc).

Keep it the same as yesterday and it will be well over 20,000.

It's realistic. It's a Prem Team that will sell most of their allocation.

We pay £25 to see shit like Plymouth.

Is Doug going to be stupid and charge £20+?

Surely he can't be that out of touch?

Yeah but it's relevant to who. It's Ipswich who we played 6 months ago. The crowd would be much lower than yesterday if it's £25.

It’s a massive massive premier league team. One for the ages. I’d pay £60

Good opportunity to get into the 5th round. Hopefully Haji and EMC plus a few new signings to show off in that game.

I’m not in a hurry to get anywhere nowadays. Retired early and it’s so easy to chill. Didn’t realize it is only 133 miles approx.

Think it’ll depend on exactly when the game is played, hopefully not on a Thursday evening…

Blackburn v Wolves is no better than Coventry v Ipswich.

Birmingham v Newcastle will be the best. An American franchise club Vs Saudi

Only way it would be more interesting for them is if one of them were owned by the Ayatollah

Birmingham Villa and us all at home that weekend. At least one game will be moved because of policing

Agreed. It makes sense to get bums on seats. It’s going to br a low profile game again so may even be broadcast abroad instead of home.

Hope the drinks prices are cheap, I'm just at the bar at Heathrow waiting for my flight to Bangkok, £7.95 for a pint of Mahou, it's £3.40 in some pubs in the city center.

Not too bad a draw really. Again needs to be priced sensibly and we should see a reasonable crowd. Winnable game aswell.

Obliged to give them a fixed percentage under FA rules, (if they sell them).

Cup draw is always hilarious reading. “Shit draw”. Good job it’s not really that important then.

It’s never that important until we get a big tie away and then suddenly there’s a clamour for tickets
