Fleetwood or Bristol City at Turf. Happy with that.

Not a bad draw, as long as we take care of Sunderland of course.

Got to admit it was getting little tense as numbers were reducing and us & rovers were still in the pot

Burnley? FA Cup? Home draw? Lower league opposition?

Surely not! Very happy about that.




We need to beat Sunderland though. :|

Seen as though I'm now a fully paid up member of the board I may as well contribute!!

Looking forward to the replay, you will probably beat us but we will sell out I'd guess and it'll be decent until you take the lead.

The draw is a good one. If not a little boring!!

Decent draw, particularly if Fleetwood get through. Fleetwood at home is very winnable and its got that quirkiness which makes for a really good cup occasion.

FA Cup.
You get a minimun percentage of seats don't you?
Not sure what it is though.

Just looked, subject to safety measures, up to 15% of capacity.

If we get around 4500 ish we will sell out. Any more we may struggle to do so.

Away section is around 2600 I think

For FA cup games it's 15% which would include the home section of that stand which would take it up to around 3900

I know they've got good support but will be amazed if Sunderland bring 4000 down on a freezing cold evening in January.

Obviously we need to beat Sunderland but it would be great to go a long way in the competition against lower opposition

There was only around 16000 home fans there on Saturday so I too will be amazed if Sunderland bring 4000 for the replay!

Presumably they'll get the whole of the cricket field. We certainly won't need it!

Perfect draw for us. The replay and potential 4th round are great opportunities for the likes of Barton, Darikwa, Tarka, Pope etc to get game time and prove themselves, we've got a big enough squad now to rotate a bit without going over the top and making fools of ourselves like Eddie did on Saturday.

You obviously know your fans better than I do (& I know 3 of them) but I'll be equally surprised as I will be impressed if you shift that many

The competion gets more serious for me at round 5 with bigger crowds and the big clubs putting out better teams plus theres normally still a handful of lower league clubs making a go of it

But until then and thats a long way off still yet,im not too bothered if we get knocked out just as long as we stay injury free

I think we can beat Sunderland again [maybe not 4-1] ...they weren't very good.

Both Bristol City and Fleetwood [home] represent a real chance of progress...with a bit of luck we could soon be in the last 16 of the FA Cup.

It is about time we had a decent run in that..with our league position and our present squad, dreaming of getting to the Final isn't so daft is it?
