Fa cup
 

get that grass cut buzzer united at the crown ground:hesoff:

Re: Fa cup
 

We HAVE to beat Yeovil now

Re: Fa cup
 

Suddenly the Yeovil replay has grabbed the me-jah's attention!

Re: Fa cup
 

leave the grass long buzzer

Re: Fa cup
 

Could be Stanley's biggest game in history?...just got to beat Yeovil!

Re: Fa cup
 

No pressure next Tuesday now .......

Re: Fa cup
 

Next tues biggest game in Stanley's history.

Re: Fa cup
 

good chance of some tv cash as added incentive to do Yeovil in the replay - but, come on lads, get your shots on that barn door not high wide and ugly.

Re: Fa cup
 

If and if we get past Yeovil, we should request the game is moved to old trafford, take the 45% gate money and use that to improve our own ground, might not be what people want to hear, but this tie could help set the club up for many years to come

Re: Fa cup
 

Cant be done now i believe.

Re: Fa cup
 

I have a feeling that it's not allowed anymore.

Re: Fa cup
 

Unbelievable draw.........

We aren't allowed to move the game i dont think as our ground is in the football league....... correct me if im wrong.

Re: Fa cup
 

I think Westley saw to that if I'm right.

Re: Fa cup
 

Correct

Re: Fa cup
 

Well I guess the best result would be to beat Yeovil, get on TV at home against Man U, draw the game and take the replay gate money.

No pressure lads

Re: Fa cup
 

100% correct - & yet he still has a job in football :rolleyes:

Re: Fa cup
 

It can only be moved on safety grounds and Ewood Park would seem more likely.

£35 a ticket I would guess.

Stanley get 50% as a PL team gets 40% when they play lower league opposition now.

Re: Fa cup
 

..... as well as the third round win money :D

Re: Fa cup
 

That would be awful. 3000 Stanley fans and 28000 Manure.

Re: Fa cup
 

How come? Surely he hasn't got so much influence? I'm confused.

Re: Fa cup
 

yer but we would still out shout them

Re: Fa cup
 

Don't think so. They only sit on their hands at OT !

Re: Fa cup
 

28000 manure, we need a bigger ground redraine lol

Re: Fa cup
 

Where do we put the other 25200 Manure fans? ;)

Re: Fa cup
 

This is why

Maybe we can convert the M65 to a runway for direct flights from Essex and Dublin

Re: Fa cup
 

See rule 9 for changing of venue, I think it says it would need to be in Lancashire and a good reason is needed. I think a good one could be found considering the ground's capability (as opposed to capacity) and previous FA Cup trouble at Everton around 2005 for example.

Re: Fa cup
 

I know it's terrible isn't it, such unfairly stacked odds, the Mankies need to get some more fans! ;)

Re: Fa cup
 

Whatever happens were in a much better situation than "Snakes" men, who may possibly be kicked outa the F.A. Cup.:D

Re: Fa cup
 

Hold your horses my good friends. We can't talk about the Third round until we have beaten Yeovil! It's an old cliche..."We'll take it one match at a time!"
As I said earlier, I do believe that our boys are capable of beating Yeovil on their own patch. Now the lads have a MASSIF INCENTIVE to put the tie to bed and enter into the Third round in full.
(Only then we can talk about that other northern team in RED)
COME ON STANLEY:alright:

Re: Fa cup
 

Well well what a tie Lads. How many fans do you reckon you are going to bring down to Somerset next week? One of your fans in the crown said it would only be about 50, guess it will be a bit more than that now lol? ;) I'd say based on saturdays performance you are the favourites for this tie but even though we have an appaling home record Huish will be rocking for this. Magical

Re: Fa cup
 

Yep, both club should make a few more quid for the replay than they would have expected to make a few hours ago :)

Re: Fa cup
 

On Stanley,On.... I think they will win at Yeovil and I wish them all the luck in the world against you know who. A draw on the Crown Ground would be good and make more money at O.T. A lot of the top teams do not like playing on the small grounds as the crowd is much nearer and feel intimidating. Ha ha bring it on eh?

Re: Fa cup
 

Re: Fa cup
 

Last time BT Sport showed 2 replays on Wed and Thurs.

Sky have LC QF Tues and Wed.

If 2 replays are picked it is likely to be the 2 non-league teams at home, but the BBC may have refusal on a pick also. If there are 3 games Stanley would be shown you would think.

Re: Fa cup
 

If! this game happens it'll be the biggest game in Hyndburn since "Gret Arrod" played Rotherham(i was there)in front of over 5000 in the cup in 1970!:D Though i think the police will have a say on when and where it's played! If it happens of course. Fingers crossed!:)

Re: Fa cup
 

'Please God, let the mighty STANLEY win at Yeovil, and I will become converted.'

Re: Fa cup
 

The two BBC 2nd round replay matches are already chosen and they're not us:
Live FA Cup Football On TV | FA Cup Final On TV - UK

Does anyone know what's happening with BT Sport's coverage? They televised two 1st round replays...

Re: Fa cup
 

Cheers, Val. I may be being even more obtuse than normal, but I still don't get why Westley being a vile operator means that clubs can't switch ties if mutually agreed ?

Re: Fa cup
 

Didn't think you still had the need to change from Gas to Electric in the Antipodes John ??.

Re: Fa cup
 

Re: Fa cup
 

I personally hope that if we do get through, it's played at our place.

Ewood or Turf would be a bigger money spinner, but at home it would be guaranteed live game, plus all the add-ons.

Not sure it would have the same sparkle for TV if it was switched.

Re: Fa cup
 

One big IF in that but totally agree, Smobile. Why play at a ground where the prima donnas will feel more at home than Stanley? Get 'em down The Crown and give it 'reet good go'.

Re: Fa cup
 

For the 50th time......... IT CANT BE MOVED !!!

The Crown has a Football League Safety certificate ( Not sure how) , and as a result, unless the poilce intervene, and IF we get through it will be played at the Crown.

Newcastle and Satanage where both sell out's if I remember right, with both games passing without incident, so I see no reason why it would be moved anyway?!?

Speaking hypothetically..... get a replay at the crown, then a moneyspinner away at Old Trafford.... would probably secure a budget for 2-3 seasons........

Re: Fa cup
 

Imagine 0-0 at Crown and we get a 96th minute penalty.

Wonder if the bench would send instructions to stick it over the back of the Clayton End ;)

Re: Fa cup
 

V excited about the prospect of playing United!

Heading to Yeovil to watch the replay!

For the United game I really hope season ticket holders are allowed to buy at least 2 tickets per season ticket holder. This is the best way to guarantee the home end isn't rammed with United fans and part time united fans.

We have roughly 700 season ticket holders don't we. If you gave them the option of getting 2 per ticket that would leave loads left for non-season ticket holders.

I'd even be tempted to allocate 3 per season ticket holder. Not everyone will take up all of their allocation so about 1800 will go to stanley fans.

All dependent on the replay but what do people think?

Re: Fa cup
 

I think those are chickens you're counting, not eggs.

Re: Fa cup
 

Then you've got shareholders!

Re: Fa cup
 

:confused:Meaning what????:eek: If your not a share holder you dont get priority on cup games please say this isnt so.Isnt that why we buy season tickets to have a first crack at any tastie big games that Stanley are in volved in.. I do hope that if we do get through to face utd that everyone will pay for a ticket and not just geta free issue one just because:rolleyes:

Re: Fa cup
 

I do hope that your hope is not too misplaced Mab !.... But I have a nagging suspicion that there will, if we eliminate Yeovil Town, be many 'new' fans turning up wherever the 3rd round is played, going through the gates as Celebrities, Honoured Guests, Sponsor's Mates, and assorted entourages by the dozen !.Who will not have parted with the fee which will have bought our tickets.
Of course It could be my cynical side affecting logical thought again, but we both know that it happens as a fact of life where these situations occur, and will ad infinitum !.

Re: Fa cup
 

Yeovil are flogging Half Season Tickets with the incentive of first dibs for 3rd round tickets IF they get through.

Smudge is right that Stanley can't move it, the Professional Game Board could order that it be moved to a nearby ground, however the surplus cash compared to the Crown's capacity could all be taken for the pot.

Segregation, vantage points for monitoring etc will be taken into account. 2 per season ticket holder is a good shout, or even 3, to stop local 'united fans' taking the home allocation.

Re: Fa cup
 

Firstly lets not count any chickens as the replay will be a tough game given the prize now available, however should the game come to pass:-

I think what he means is that shareholders should be given the chance to buy a ticket as well as season ticket holders. I would also include OSC members from prior to the draw and where possible have some form of sale for regular fans who don't fall into any of the categories. It can't be that hard to identify our regulars.

There should be no way any of our regular fans should miss this game as we should be able to offer all regular home fans 2 tickets and still have spare capacity for more. Remember the flexitickets are also season tickets or so it says so make sure I get my ticket :D.

Regarding sponsors, that's part of the FA Cup and it's the same with all big games. Money talks and that is why they pay extra whether we agree with it or not. There are always people who get tickets because of money just make sure they are paying top whack for it!

As I say, we can live in hope but lets not make too many plans until we have beaten Yeovil. Then we can argue about who gets tickets and how many.

Re: Fa cup
 

Oops! You're right. In that case, does anyone know what's happening with BBC's coverage?

Re: Fa cup
 

Re: Fa cup
 

That quote was meant for us fans :D. I hate tempting fate before we have qualified.

The club should already be making contingency plans ready to be announced as soon as the match is over next week if we win. That is sensible from an organisational point of view.

Re: Fa cup
 

Yeovil's equivalent plans are on their site - season ticket holders first (two each), then tokens in the programmes for the replay and their next (I think) league game, with those who go to both having the next go, then those who go to one, then open sale. Reasonable thinking, I reckon.

Re: Fa cup
 

Sounds sensible. If we do win the replay, we could offer a similar scheme with the Wycombe game and ensure a sell-out for that match as well ... though they would mostly be bought by Man Utd supporters. They have 55,000 season ticket holders and would probably only be allocated 2,500 tickets if we do play them!

Re: Fa cup
 

Yes, you're right, don't count our chickens yet, but how can a person not get a little, or a lot, excited. Who else was at Peel Park when we beat United 3-0 in the Lancashire cup in '57. I,m not excited yet? Just checking the flights.

Re: Fa cup
 

Can you believe I'm back for the York and Burton game but fly out on the 2nd Jan! So want us to win but the 500 quid to change the flight may be tricky!!! Saying that Yeovil will be a very hard game away but if we do win why would we want to change the ground nevermind if we can? Remember last time we were at Ewood, Crewe smashed us although we played better against Scunny next time at Turf Moor and should have won.

Re: Fa cup
 

I thought the away fans were only allowed 15% of the total, ie 750 if the total is 5000?

Re: Fa cup
 

21. DISTRIBUTION OF TICKETS
(a) All Rounds Preceding the Semi-Finals
In all matches preceding the Semi-Finals, the Visiting Club shall have the right to claim up
to 15% of all accommodation for which tickets are issued providing these tickets are in a
fully segregated area, and subject to the following regulations:

Re: Fa cup
 

15% of Utd's home attendance should just about cover their 'fans' from Manchester.:rolleyes:

Re: Fa cup
 

That's true in terms of regulations, but they would be allocated the Coppice End plus the Cowshed so that there are seats, so that will be over 2,000 given our official capacity of 5,057.

Fulham were given 1,200 tickets and there was still work in place at the time on the Whinney Hill corner, plus the Coppice End was extended the following season IIRC.

My point is that, if we beat Yeovil, there is no way that we can guarantee that the tickets on general site at the Club are bought by Stanley fans (our only current means of controlling the reserved tickets is via the list of season ticket holders and shareholders). If we say that a ticket retained from the Wycombe game will enable the holder the right to buy a ticket to the Man Utd game, it should ensure that we have two sell-out games rather than one.

I would also make it conditional on entry to the Wycombe game (i.e. people are given a token or voucher at the turnstile when they hand over/buy their match ticket) rather than a token in the programme ... we would face the huge financial cost of printing 5,000 programmes or face the potential chaos of running out.

Re: Fa cup
 

I suggested on Monday night you had to buy a Wycombe & Burton ticket before the 16th to get a voucher, and no refunds :)

Re: Fa cup
 

What about Fans who live away then Dave ?

I went to Carlisle, will be going Yeovil, Portsmouth & the Wycombe Game (but not Burton).

Would mean I wouldn't get one :confused:

All hypothetical I know, but wouldn't be easy for the club either way.

Be a nice problem to have though WHEN we beat Yeovil. :D

Re: Fa cup
 

You're right, there is no ideal way, my suggestion was half real, half tongue in cheek because of the refund issue :).

Loads of complaints about people not getting tickets would be good in a sad sort of way, because that means game on :)

Re: Fa cup
 

The bbc and bt sport will televise 5 games from the 3rd round
and as the premiership play on the 1st jan, the fa have extended the dates covering 3rd,4th,5th 6th january to play these games

Re: Fa cup
 

5th & 6th would spoil it for me coming up from Devon, not to mention all the United fans trying to get back to London :D

Re: Fa cup
 

Seeing as Man U play away at Stoke on Thursday 1st at 12.45am Live on SKY - no danger of it being played on the Saturday.

Re: Fa cup
 

No danger of any of that being a problem, if we dont do Yeovil.:eek::eek:

Re: Fa cup
 

Tickets only available from Yeovil Ticket Office with NO Cash Turnstile according to the email they just sent me.

Ticket office open until Kick Off on Tuesday.

Re: Fa cup
 

Yeovil Ticket Office Number is 01935 847888

Re: Fa cup
 

Was going to ring and pre-order some tickets but, from what they said to you Smobile, is there any need if they're selling them up to kick off?

Re: Fa cup
 

Better safe n sorry i would say.;)

Re: Fa cup
 

Rough idea on the travel time by car? 4 hours about right?

Re: Fa cup
 

About 4 n half Dav,;)

Re: Fa cup
 

so 4 for me.

8 hours in a car (plus more for road works, average speed cameras, congestion, crashes, queue at M6/M5 interchange) for 90 minutes of football.

Will be more than worth it!

Re: Fa cup
 

250 miles is 4.25 hours if RAC is to be believed and everything goes well. Roadworks, weather, evening Rush hour through Brum, finding somewhere to park, queuing for ticket:rolleyes:...I'd allow at least 5.5 hours from Accy.

Re: Fa cup
 

Only if you're 5 minutes late!!!

Re: Fa cup
 

If only. If only. If only. Lets beat Yeovil first before we start dreaming of playing United.We should have beaten them at home .Start being realistic, and stop dreaming.

Re: Fa cup
 

you've been in Yorkshire too long Jim.

Re: Fa cup
 

Nowt wrong with doing both :)

Re: Fa cup
 

Use the M6 Toll Road and avoid the M6/M5 interchange

Re: Fa cup
 

I'm not so sure. It would add nearly 20 miles to the journey, you'd pay £5.50 per car for the privilege and then have to battle with traffic on the M42.

Re: Fa cup
 

Two sets of roadworks on A303 just east of Yeovil :mad:.
One is supposed to finish tomorrow
A303 Eastbound and Hayes End Roundabout Resurfacing. - Road Projects - Highways Agency-
which, if it does, will avoid a huge diversion:).
Bu there's a second one at a roundabout a bit closer to Yevil that is down to start in "winter" :(.

Re: Fa cup
 

Not good news, but a good tip fer travelers.;)

Re: Fa cup
 

It would be more useful if I got my directions right.
The roadworks mentioned are WEST of Yeovil, where you might encounter them if you come all the way down on the M5, then head eastwards towards Yeovil.

Re: Fa cup
 

What! There'll be P'keys turning too? :D

Re: Fa cup
 

If we get through the United game is going to be live on BT Sport on Sunday 4th January, 3.30pm kick off.

BT Sport announces FA Cup third round fixtures - BT

Re: Fa cup
 

Great news if we do the job.:)

Re: Fa cup
 

Good news indeed! Would mean the armchair United fans could watch from where they're used to following a game from & not have to go to the trouble of trying to get tickets & risk ending up with the home fans :rolleyes:

Re: Fa cup
 

Just hope Yeovil are using up all their goal allowance for this week today, they're currently 3 up :eek:

Re: Fa cup
 

4 now, but think there much better away than home, lets hope so.

Re: Fa cup
 

The choice is yours, but many journeys by myself and my Sons from Accrington/Blackpool to Bristol/Plymouth made us realise that the toll charge is worthwhile - anything to avoid the M6/M5 interchange

Re: Fa cup
 

Wet night forecast in Zummerzet on Tuesday night. Depending on how many away fans are expected, they may put Stanley fans at the end of one of the covered stands. But otherwise, the away end at Huish Lane is uncovered. And, apparently, they don't allow big golf umbrellas!

Re: Fa cup
 

They can stuff me were they want slong as we win.:D

Re: Fa cup
 

I rang last week to buy my ticket & the lady I spoke to said because of they'd had so few bookings from us so far they were only selling Stanley fans tickets for the seated area, same price wherever they put us & at least it'll be under cover if weather's bad

Re: Fa cup
 

Shame, could have done we a bit of Gene Kelly...
