Don't really get the 'shit draw' comments - it is the 2nd round of the FA Cup so I don't know what people expect. If it turns out to be Ipswich we play then that's 2 of the 4 biggest clubs playing each other, with both also being previous cup winners. At least we won't be getting knocked out by a non league team!!

It's a personal thing, I'd prefer to play somebody we've never played before and local to me ideally. Not really about Ipswich

Why is that random.
People need to make up their minds either we have the right to choose or those not going are wankers killing the club.
I know where you stand.

Anyone got any special memories of Ipswich games if we play them? I remember the game at Portman Rd in the relegation season.
Sort of a must win to have a reasonable chance of not going down.
I think we'd been on a decent run as well with the arrival of Hartson.
Typically Bellamy missed a hat full that day. We lost.
And for the first time in my City supporting life I knew that our time was basically up and we were going down after that.

Never have much luck in that part of the country.
First time I went to Norwich for an FA Cup tie we drove all the way only to find that the game was off. Drove back the next week for the re-arranged game in mid-week. Good time in the pub pre-game. We didn't turn up on the pitch. Lost pathetically. Must have been around 1992?

If we end up getting Ipswich and beat them in both the league match and the cup game, that really sends out a statement of intent. Not out of the question, here's hoping!

My hope it will be the televised Monday night game, which atleast would put us in the hat for the third round.

I just think it's a bit dull to draw a team in the same division, there's no novelty to the fixture and an increased chance of going out in a very early round.

Especially no novelty when we have the same game 1 week later!

That crossed my mind. Take out the romance element of the little club, and it's easily the best tie of the round.

Ipswich fielded a deliberately weakened side against Lincoln (which backfired, as they ended up getting a replay) so if they do the same again, I reckon we'll end up playing Lincoln. They are likely to bring as many as Ipswich would have, so a similar atmosphere, and whilst it is a difficult game, their first team are not as good as Ipswich's first team. Should be a good, close game. Better than having to watch us play Boreham Wood and the like at The Ricoh the other season (as Grendel alluded to)

Better than a near free pass to the next round?

It isn't really as there's more chance of losing and going out of the cup.

to be fair, he also decided League 2 was outside of Coventry, until we started to do well

£54k for 2nd round winners, £135k for 3rd round winners.

I imagine MR will take this 2nd round tie seriously, hopefully we get a win. Shit draw though.

I am not being a smart arse, I just can't see any logic in your point so therefore saw reason to question it. There is not a chance we would take 4,000. We took about 1,000 the year we played them on Boxing Day in League 2. It's an absolute dive of an area where there is about 2 pubs that they let away fans into, neither of which have I ever managed to get into because they're not very big. It is a dire away day.

Can't see it. At this stage it's still the 'romance' of the cup and all the tv ties will be the smaller NL clubs and L1/L2. Although we are probably the 'best' tie of the round it's only when it's very top PL teams playing each other they show them.

Say get to R3 and the best two teams to be drawn against each other were say West Ham v Newcastle. Two big teams but not a chance they'd get the TV games.

I've only been to PV once - around 2015, we won 2-0. I associate the area with the sciatica I was suffering at the time.
