Can't help feel that there is potentially a few shit draws as one off games.

Bournmouth - (H) - bit shit. (A) very shit, shit allocation.
Newcastle - (H) would take it. (A) shit, too far away.
Brighton - (H) see Bournemouth (A) Dull
Southampton (H) see Bournmouth (A) see Bournmouth
Luton - (H) but dull (A) shit all round. Won't happen anyway.

Would take any of the others H or A.

Newcastle away wouldn't be shit, a great city and stadium and it's be a big allocation. agree I'd rather a home tie though, I'm desperate to get into the last 4 at Wembley so Home in a winnable tie- albeit wed be underdogs against anyone bar maybe Blackburn at home

Man Utd at home, mad as it sounds I reckon we could potentially win that tie, especially with Sheaf and Allen back around then....PUSB

Any team at home bar Man City would fancy a chance.

B'mouth/Luton (A) worst for ticket allocations.

Don't really want another Championship team though they present a chance to progess.

Man United (H) I think we could win.

Newcastle away would be incredible.

Southampton away would be decent as it's more even opportunity plus 5000 behind the goal.

Brighton was excellent last time. Again, 5000 behind the goal down at the seaside.

I don't think there's a bad draw besides Luton or Bournemouth away as there will be uproar about ticket allocations etc.

Why? Leicester at home would be good.

For me easiest possible team at home, so I guess Blackburn.

Because losing to them and seeing them off to Wembley would be a killer.

But yeah Bournemouth, Brighton or Southampton away would be a dreadful draw.

Home draw against anybody other than Man C or Liverpool and we have a chance IMO.

Then take whatever comes our way in the semi. If Maidstone can win at Ipswich...

As an aside SkyBet currently rate Blackburn at 50/1 to win the cup and we're 66/1. In what world does that make sense when they have to beat PL opposition to even make the Quarters?

Wolves at home please.

All wolves supporting mates don’t realise how good our support has become. All they remember is the Northampton years in League 1.

would love to beat them at a packed CBS.

Any answer that’s not Blackburn at home is the wrong answer TBH. We can have a big day out against a team from the telly/your mates team at Wembley.

I can't see Blackburn winning tbh, Howe has no choice to take it seriously tonight think his job becomes a bit more precarious if their season is over in Feb after last year

Which is weird because prior to Northampton I’m sure we used to get 25K+ regularly against wolves

Brighton Away please. Great away day & I've not been to their new ground.

Last time I went Brighton was at the Withdean when Peter fucking Reid was in charge......Luckily I drank so much that weekend, I managed to erase the memory of most of his tenure.....

It's brilliant and a model on how the CBS could work one day.

Regular trains including in the ticket price. Everyone drinks in town and then gets the train over. We left the sea front at 2:15 last time and made it in the ground by 2:50. That's including the 10 minute walk from the front to the station.

We didn’t have the full side, we had the bottom half of the side and we had the upper corner not the entirety of behind the goal

Remember I’m only 26. The last time we had played them would have been when Westwood saved the Ebanks Blake penalty I believe. Would have only been about 11/12

Selfishly, Forest away, wife has booked a weekend away for us with a group of friends in Nottingham some months ago (we never get through to this stage of the cup)

Other than that, anyone at home, sell out crowd and always a stronger chance of winning at home and early kick off so I can get up to Nottingham to celebrate after and avoid divorce
