As far as televised matches go I think it is one on the Fri night on BBC and one on Sunday on BBC. Then two on the Saturday on bt

Very good point. I'll be sticking to my guns.

TV companies will share 4 of the 5 top 5 Prem teams. Not sure which will be the odd one out.

Man Utd are the bankers.
Sutton the giant killing theme.
Fulham v Spurs the London derby.

Leaving a choice of,

Chelsea (top of the Prem) v Wolves (conquerors of L'pool)
or
H'field (Denis Law) v Man City (Denis Law) and the scorer of 6 goals in a FA cup-tie (Denis Law) who ended up on the losing team.

Coyle did well in cup competitions for ourselves, St Johnstone and Bolton

It will be on TV because Lincoln are the attraction, not us.

Lincoln City fans seem a bit disappointed with the draw. Don't blame them to be fair.

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

Its non league vs premier league, the real magic of the cup, definately not 6th favourites. Between bt sport and bbc i bet we're on, the kick offs dont all have to be at the same time. 2 non league teams left, both will be covered.

Saw that, bloody hell

Its a good draw for us though. Barring a massive upset its a virtual guarantee next round.

Some of their fans seem to think that because we made changes last time around we will be putting out a weak squad. How very, very wrong their are about our "back up" players

Wouldn't expect us to sell out but I think we will bring a good few thousand more than against Bristol. 17-18k maybe.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 8:06 pm

Some teams put out very inexperienced squads - our changes brought in the likes of Vokes, Flanagan, Barton to name but three.

Darnhill Claret · Post by **Darnhill Claret** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 8:08 pm

If there are 6 games televised I reckon we are nailed on as 6th choice with Boro and Millwall missing out.

At this stage I'd like to think Dyche will put our strongest team out, it's not every year we get an opportunity like this. Pretty sure they'll be able to fill the cricket field stand, not sure we'll be on TV though.

UpTheClaretsFCBK · Post by **UpTheClaretsFCBK** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 8:13 pm

They will get 3,400 tickets. Providing they can sell them. Cricket Field may have to close for home support against them. Big noise advantage.

rufus lumley · Post by **rufus lumley** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 8:13 pm

It's 20 years this year since Dyche got cheated out of a cup final appearance let's hope he can
make it this time as a gaffer

They'll definitely sell their allocation, no doubts about that.

''14921 home gate when they played Bristol City... not exactly the dream. We could have more there than them haha''

A comment from the Lincoln forum, who do these tinpot minnows think they are? I'm ****** off at the arrogance of these after reading the forum, hopefully Dyche lets Andre loose and we send them home back to non league, crying.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 8:15 pm

I'd be amazed if the game isn't on TV. A non-league side away to a Premier league team, chance (however slim) of an upset...I'd expect our game and the Sutton game to both be televised.

He won't need to, Vokes and Barnes could walk through them in their sleep 9 days out of 10.

Whats wrong with that? They will be disappointed (have a look on their messageboard) and compared to arsenal, manchester clubs, chelsea and spurs we are not a big club!

USC · Post by **USC** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 8:23 pm

Best draw possible for Burnley and some other great ties too. Assuming Burnley get through, at least 2 of the remaining 7 teams will be very beatable (Milwall/Leicester/Derby and Boro/Oxford) so a favorable draw there and we're in the semis. The FA cup is almost ours!

TonbridgeClaret · Post by **TonbridgeClaret** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 8:50 pm

I think this match will be a sellout. Premier league teams at home to non league teams always attracts lots of neutrals. The whole of Lincoln will want tickets for this day out and they will easily well their 3,400.

They took 5000 to Ipswich so whatever we give them will go. I really do hope the club don't under estimate the power of the CFS with our supporters in there. For a one off game I'd be tempted to offer Lincoln the whole of the Jimmy Mc and we have the whole CFS along with the rest.

Royboyclaret · Post by **Royboyclaret** » Mon Jan 30, 2017 9:07 pm

Quite a few posts suggesting 3,400 for Lincoln, but that can't be right.

They either get the same as all other away teams this season which is 2,400 or we give them all the CFS which is 4,150.

Might make some sense to move them elsewhere, say the JHL, but that then creates problems with our ST holders. It's a tough one to solve as they will no doubt want as many as we are prepared to give them.
