Tranmere Rovers!! Not too bad a home tie I would have thought

****** - no Gornell I would assume.

Might be without a few of the loan players as well - clubs not wanting them cup tied etc.

Tin Monkey 26-10-2008 12:48
Re: FA Cup Opponents
 
That's another nightmare tie. Odds massively against us getting further than the 1st round once again and a high possibility of achieving no cup run money for another year. Add to that, it's not going to be an enormous crowd either, and I agree totally with K-P. :(

Poor tie - no adventure to a non-league club weve never been before and no big club. The only thing worse would've been Team Bath away.

Re: FA Cup Opponents
 
bit of a let down after playing them once already this season,lets hope we can win and call it even then.

Re: FA Cup Opponents
 
Oh yea of little faith, whether or not some or none of our loan players play in the tie and whether or not we win lose or draw, it is an extra home tie that both EW and the dynamic duo wanted for kudos and extra revenue. By the time of the match, all being well, the team should name itself - King Kenny, Rocky, Howling Mad Murdoch, John Mullin, Chris King, John Miles, Phil Edwards, Proccy and Jimmy Ryan with a forward line of Paul Mullin and Robert Grant. If Rovers for instance gave us permission to play Royston Griffiths and Jamie Clarke well that would not be bad - thats 2 out of the 4 subs - so we will have to use 2 of the youngsters in the line up and either Bav's or Jamie Speare. We may also have Leam back so what worries have we got. Lets not moan and groan about not having a cup run, that's negative, lets get behind the team and support them come what may. You never know, we may cause a shock!

Tin Monkey 26-10-2008 14:22
Re: FA Cup Opponents
 
Home or away doesn't affect the amount of money we'd make, as gate money is split equally in the FA Cup (plus a cut to the FA). What does affect the income is that the 'home' gate will be substantially lower than an 'away' gate, so I can't see anything to feel positive about with this draw.

We may just win £20,000 for advancing to the second round. lets get outta the location and into the light. The team has been playing well these last 4 games both home and away apart from a mad 10 minutes against Bradford. There is nothing to say we cannot win on the 8th November and no doubt JC and JB might just have them fired up for this one.

Quite looking forward to visiting your gaf. Never been, due to the lack of competitive football we've played against each other.

We'll probarbly bring a 1000+, giving it's the FA Cup and reasonably close.

Proper FA Cup tie this, with the chance to stand on a proper terrace again.

Roll on 2 weeks...

VALAIRIAN 26-10-2008 20:09
Re: FA Cup Opponents
 
Would have prefered a Home tie against Alferton Town or AFC Wimbledon myself! I just think it would be good to get a few rounds in for a change and pick up some much needed cash. On the subject of 'Home' and 'Away' ties the gate monies may be split but we would be getting (hopefully) more programme sales/food & drink sales etc. But as mentioned earlier lets be positive about this one and knock out a team from a higher division.

Re: FA Cup Opponents
 
If you want the biggest crowd, and therefore the most cash, you'd be looking at Leeds or Leicester away (22,000); anyone fancy going there? Thought not ........

Not a 'romantic' draw, but certainly one we could win, the way we're playing at the moment. I doubt they'll let us play Gornell, which is a real shame, because I really like the lad, but we won't win or lose based just on that.

Good draw? Good enough; we're in with a real shout. I agree with mersey-paradise (welcome!); proper F A Cup tie

VALAIRIAN 26-10-2008 20:39
Re: FA Cup Opponents
 
Sorry for the confusion, I want to play teams like Alfreton Town to (hopefully) progress through to the next round and as I stated get some much needed cash (£20'000) !! Sorry again for any confusion.

You thought wrong.. We aint going to win the FA Cup so the best we can hope for is a nice trip to a big club. As above. Hopefully after a bit of a run.. But anytime will do.. Accy at Elland rd... why on earth do you think no one would want that?

maccawozzagod 26-10-2008 21:39
Re: FA Cup Opponents
 
we need to win a couple of games and have some sort of run in the cup Kipax. At this moment in time a cup run is the only thing that could possibly generate us some extra fans in the longer term. A trip to Elland Road might attract a few hundred extra Burnley fans onto our coaches but it wouldn't do an awful lot for our longer term prospects. Unless we went there and won.

Tranmere in round 1
Fleetwood in round 2
Huddersfield in round 3
MU round 4

Div3North 26-10-2008 21:49
Re: FA Cup Opponents
 
My point exactly. If we just want one decent payday, then fine - Leeds away. For my part, I'd sooner play Leeds in Round 3 or 4, having won £20k for the 1st Round, more for Round 2, and tucked away some decent gate money for a couple of rounds into the bargain.

Who ain't gonna win the FA Cup? Must be our turn any season now ..........

I don't think this is a crap draw. We're at home in the cup. Every manager wants to be at home in the cup. Opponents are reasonably local so will bring a few fans and they're a team that, given a good effort on the day, we can beat and reach the next round.

I sat with anticipation... accy came out first..... then tranmere... I didnt even raise a smile.. i didnt jump up and down and certainly wasnt excited.... Did you go to tranmere a couple of weeks ago to watch us play them ???

Tranmere will be faveroutes to win.. i would rather play a team where we are faveroutes... tranmere wont bring a big following... its not a glamour tie and its a hard one to get through...

Therefore when the draw was made on sunday it was a crap draw.... hence my sattement its a crap draw is true

when you disect it later on and try to make it sound like a good draw... OR if we beat them 1-0 or 10-0 and it then becomes a good draw.... that doesnt change the fact that on sunday when the draw was made....it was far from a good draw


hands up everyone who thought it was a good draw the moment tranmeres name came out the bag... go on truthfully.. or hands up everyone who had home to tranmere on there wish list for the draw??

yes we could win.. yes it could turn out good... but it was still a crap draw for us... hopefully it will turn out good.... macca gets it... others get it... just think about it for a bit


fingers crossed we win and get through.. not saying we cant win it.. just saying it was a crap draw.. if you thought it was a good draw and you where delighted when there name came out the bag then good for you... i thoguht it was crap.... thats all :)

:) A lower league team would have been better for us,Tranmere will be a mountain to climb lets hope we're on top of our game for this one and their on a off day.. anyone know what the cost will be to get in or will it be at normal league match prices ????

JEFF 30-10-2008 11:22
Re: FA Cup Opponents
 
I totally agree with Kipax - it was a crap draw. Last season we drew Huddersfield at home in the first round, the gate was 2202 and we had to share this with Huddersfield so we made next to nothing out of the game. The Tranmere game will probably end up the same. How many season ticket holders will miss this game because they have to pay at the gate? There were a few missing last season against Huddersfield. Bradford City are a prime example of missing season ticket holders in the FA Cup. Last season they averaged over 12000 in the league. The tuesday before the FA Cup first round they played Chester at home with an attendance of 13211, on the Saturday they played Chester at home in the FA Cup (all pay), the attendance was 4069. Barrow away would have been a better draw, a bigger gate, more chance of winning and the possibility of being on TV (worth about £75000). The only chance we have of making anything out of the game is to win it. So make sure that everybody turns up, pay their money and get behind the team.

Exactly. There are worse draws we could hve got when you look at the list of teams in it. More intriguing is if Godwin Antiwi will play in the game. He's on loan to Tranmere until January but its Liverpool's call on whether he can play

Yeagh so we both agree on that then eh... no one was saying it wasnt.. your not from altrincham are you.. you seem fixated with the amount of fans :) Its great.. But as I say.. would rather 20 away fans and an easier passage through... oops repeating myself :)
