Loyalclaret · Post by **Loyalclaret** » Sun Jan 08, 2023 10:22 am

Fleetwood or Wrexham away

Swizzlestick · Post by **Swizzlestick** » Sun Jan 08, 2023 10:22 am

Anybody at home.

Wrexham , fleetwood , accy if they progress any of them away

FGR away (I've not been!)
Fleetwood away (not seen us there...)
Grimsby away (it's been a while.)
Failing that, something within an hour on the train / drive from Sheffield!

Grimsby away if only just to read their match report. The report for the 6-5 defeat was hilarious but of course I can't find it now.

Man City at home.

VK vs his mentor, well sort of.

At least if we get Wrexham or Borehamwood at home, history says we won't lose. We only get beaten at home when we're in the top division ( Wimbledon, Lincoln ).

How many other times have we played a non-league team at home? Off the top of my head I can think of Altrincham, Runcorn and Canvey Island.

Accrington Stanley

Stanbill05 · Post by **Stanbill05** » Sun Jan 08, 2023 2:17 pm

Winnable game at home please, which is anyone outside the really big boys. Let the big boys play each so there are less them stopping us getting to the final and winning it.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sun Jan 08, 2023 2:19 pm

Accy at home.
Nothing ever certain, but like to think we'd get through.
It would be a decent payday for Accy.

It's looking like dirty Leeds will be out of the equation, they look very poor.

Very rare for me to say this but I’d like Leeds at home.

Failing that, Grimsby or Walsall away

Not the most attractive draw, but we'll certainly expect to win and be in the last 16.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sun Jan 08, 2023 4:11 pm

Decent draw that. Ipswich flying in L1 and play good football. Yet one we should win.

Rubbish draw for the travelling fans again, should have a chance of being on telly mind you.

We should win but Ipswich are equally like us on a great run of form.

Hmm.. I'm thinking these we'll be behind these:

ManU vs Reading
Preston vs Tottenham
ManCity/Chelsea vs Oxford/Arsenal
Brighton vs Liverpool/Wolves

Would the people moaning have rather drawn City away again? Don't think it's a bad draw at all.

Woodleyclaret · Post by **Woodleyclaret** » Sun Jan 08, 2023 4:26 pm

Shite draw but we should progress to round 5

Be interesting to see how Cork and Cullen cope against Wark and Mühren.

Was Stafford Rangers the FA cup when Stan Collymore scored for us?
Or was that away?

Culmclaret · Post by **Culmclaret** » Sun Jan 08, 2023 7:40 pm

They were bloody good. Muhren and Thijssen were the two Dutch players who ran the show. Wark was the quintessential goal scoring midfielder

Unless of course Stevenage beat Villa tomorrow.

Stanbill05 · Post by **Stanbill05** » Mon Jan 09, 2023 12:40 am

Competition is opening up with the big boys keep drawing each other. Could have been better for us, but it's a tie we should win. Nice to have some hope and optimism in a cup competition, I'd forgotten what that feels like.

A decent ground if going by train

Be nice if they could announce quickly when it is and even nicer if this country has trains running that day

Is it best just going via Euston or Leeds, Peterborough etc..

Cost wise I would imagine Leeds, Peterboro route simply to avoid Avanti

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Mon Jan 09, 2023 8:45 am

I'd do Leeds Peterborough if going on the train.

Granny WeatherWax · Post by **Granny WeatherWax** » Mon Jan 09, 2023 8:47 am

no trains between stafford and stockport so Avanti is out of the question that weekend.

Ipswich's Portland Road Ground has a capacity just short of 30,000... So good revenue for both clubs.
