Bit late now and would be chaos if we got drawn away
Bit late now and would be chaos if we got drawn awayThey should just announced fans with Maidstone tickets get first dibs on any QF tickets and they’d fly out the door.
Few more I thinkDid we give Maidstone 4.5k allocation?
Didn't we beat someone in an earlier round about 11-0 at Highfield Road and Darren Huckerby scored 14 of them ?Spurs beat Rochdale 6.1 about 5 years ago.
But then again they have a very big hard core support. They are one of the best supported clubs in the land. Only restricted by a ground capacity of around 29k. They probably could have sold 35k and more for many of their matches this season.We are no Ipswich when it comes to support

8-0 vs Rushden and Diamonds?Well we certainly beat Macclesfield 7-0 in the third round, can’t remember us having any bigger scores than that in the cup.
14.4K home tickets sold as off 5.30 last night.
Club expecting 24K at the moment.
We really should be putting at least 6 or 7 past these, even with a team made up mostly of our second string. Way too many on here have been traumatised by our years of decline.
Yeah essentially this. People point and say stuff about losing to Hereford and Worcester years ago despite us being in L1 and having an absolutely dross team, manager and owners and on the decline.
Where we are now is so much different.
As I've said before, I fully expect us to win at least 7-0.
We lost to a non league team just 13 months ago.
We shouldn't be cocky
Exactly how I see itI’m only expecting a rout if we decide to go all out to thrash them with a full-strength side and tbh there’s no reason why we need to do that.
The last two times there was a four-tier gap between teams in this round of the FA Cup, the bigger teams made a load of changes, took it easy and won 2 or 3-0
8-0 vs Rushden and Diamonds?
And the 3rd last time?I’m only expecting a rout if we decide to go all out to thrash them with a full-strength side and tbh there’s no reason why we need to do that.

We lost to Sutton when we were third in the top division. Also Maidstone beat a better team than us in the last round.We lost to a non league team just 13 months ago.
We shouldn't be cocky
I mean, fine, but that was literally the first time in 100 years a non-league team has made it that far. They had one shot on target the whole game and it went in, another total fluke. Not the kind of risk we need to be throwing huge resources at, especially when we have WBA four days later.And the 3rd last time?
Premier League Burnley made changes and lost 1-0 to Lincoln.
Bloody hell, didn't he keep tripping over his long beard?
Confident we'll beat that.Ok I was way out.
In 1881 Darwin beat Romford 15-0 which is the record for the FA Cup 5th round.

first half mateConfident we'll beat that.
I don't get why all this 6 7 8-0 stuff is being said. When prem/championship teams draw non league sides how often is that actually the case ?
A full strength Everton only managed a 2-0 win at home to boreham wood a couple of years ago ...
One of the best supported clubs in the land, I’m not sure what makes you say that.But then again they have a very big hard core support. They are one of the best supported clubs in the land. Only restricted by a ground capacity of around 29k. They probably could have sold 35k and more for many of their matches this season.
I’d be interested to see where you're seeing these numbers, even during the 90s we only had 3 seasons where we averaged over 20,000. And in our post premier league years we’ve only averaged over 20,000 three times (including this season)One of the best supported clubs in the land, I’m not sure what makes you say that.
Their attendances this season have been decent & 21,000 last season isn’t bad either, but before that you have to go back to 2010 to find the last time they hit 20,000.
They have managed an average in excess of 20,000 in 24 seasons in their history and have never had a season average in excess of 30,000, this despite winning the League Championship, the FA Cup & the Cup Winners Cup and numerous seasons qualifying for and competing in European competition.
We on the other hand have managed an average in excess of 20,000 in 27 seasons including 3 of over 30,000.

Ipswich averaged 26,000 in league one last season and 21000+ the season before that. Since 2000 their average attendances have definitely been better than ours. In fact between 2000 and 2010 they didn’t dip below 20,000 avg attendance once, whilst we were struggling to get above 18000 regularly and went as low as 14,000 a few times.
you also have to take into account Coventrys population is around twice the size of Ipswich’s.
Be easy to get out the car I guessCool, if we are 10 - 0 up there will be a lot of empty seats.
Our record win in the FA Cup 5th round is whatever we do on MondayOk I was way out.
In 1881 Darwin beat Romford 15-0 which is the record for the FA Cup 5th round.
