Good draw, but never forget Wimbledon.

Assuming we win, I assume the Liverpool game will be moved, but any ideas to when?

Think we might be judging by the coverage Lincoln have had so far.

just a word of warning for those a bit long in the tooth...

remember Wimbledon, then non league and losing 0-1

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:29 pm

Absolutely brilliant draw. Would have perhaps liked more Premier League teams drawn against each other but we do have Man United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Man City and maybe Leicester all with away ties.

Tough game for Rovers - shame!

Brilliant for Sutton - they just be absolutely delighted. Shame they didn't get an away draw perhaps but hosting Arsenal is a great thing for them.

Love our draw. Was hoping for Rovers or Lincoln so I'm well chuffed with that.

Cracking draw that, pretty much all interesting ties right the way down. Hopefully we can get as near to a full house as possible for this one (if only to help Lincoln on the money front)....plus I guess it will be on TV so a bit more cash there I suppose.

FA Cup draws are so much more fun when you are still in the competition!

Was shouting for lincoln at home then shouting for utd v rovers , hahaha, belting. Shame all the big clubs got easy.draws (including us in that)

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:31 pm

Middlesbrough v Oxford Utd looks to be the weakest draw.

It would have been even better had more poor teams got drawn against eachother, to improve our chances in the Quarters. It'll likely be a very tough tie to get to Wembley.

Shame the big 5 avoided each other. Got 33/1 this morning and after we got Lincoln at home I was thinking they'll cut us to 20/1 or 25/1. But I think we'll probably be 6th favourites at I'm guessing 28/1 or thereabouts.

Goalposts · Post by **Goalposts** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:31 pm

I think both non league teams will be televised either on sat or terrestrial,

i wonder if we will give them the whole of the cricket field,....that might backfire on us

Saxoman · Post by **Saxoman** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:31 pm

Wish Lincoln could bring john beck back for a day. What a long ball fest that would be..

lakesclaret · Post by **lakesclaret** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:32 pm

Not sure how many games get televised? But guaranteed we'll be on TV prem vs non league. Be good to have a full house though ,( defo if they keep prices as per other opposition)

Must be 8yrs? Ish since we last had a cup run

Can Sutton switch it if they want? Imagine half the gate receipts of 60000 at Arsenal

So do we play the first 11 or continue with the squad rotation? Think Lincoln have showed themselves to be up for it

I remember going on a replayed cup game way back (late 50s/early 60s) v Lincoln. Drew away then won a replay with in front of a (then typical) big gate at TM.
A decent draw for us and not too bad for them- given they would ideally have wanted home fixture.

Sutton v Arsenal
Wovers v Man Utd (55 successive televised FA cup ties and counting)
Udders v City
Fulham v Spurs
Wolves v Chelsea
all before us (Schedulers wet dream as they can defend any of those)
and if Leicester beat Derby the game at Milwall would be a great choice for them

would say we are 6th favourites at best for a TV match

Predicting all (8, if Leicester win replay) Prem teams in quarters.

Predict Rovers v ManU on TV - so not playing Sat same time as Burnley play.

Possible Clarets v Lincoln on TV - as well as Sutton v Arsenal. Do the TV games get extra TV money? Be fair to both Sutton and Lincoln to get big pay out.

Predict Burnley do better than we did v Wimbledon in 1975.

Pleased with this draw... my father has already said he wont be going along to this fixture as he was at our infamous loss at home to non-league Wimbledon...

In our Championship Season 59/60 I think. Maybe an omen !!!!

Rovers V Man Utd will be on the idiot box.

I read somewhere that Man Utd's last 80 FA cup games have all been televised

Saxoman · Post by **Saxoman** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:40 pm

Coyle is crap, that is without question, but I do feel he has an ability to get players up for a one off game. If mourinho underestimates us and plays a second string, it could be a real game on.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:41 pm

you would have to say if Rovers fans wanted to make a point there would be no bigger game than this (nailed on for TV) to have empty stands

Minnieclaret and Winstonswhite - I have no idea! I haven't heard that draws can be switched.
