Fair point, however they had further to travel; are probably nowhere near as well supported as your guys are supported away from home and the demand for home tickets, not just from Accy fans but neutrals who might want to take in the game, will make that Fulham game look like a tea party to organise logistically !!!

I'd hope that the Commercial department are also about to go into overdrive thinking about marketing memorabilia (scarves,flags, etc)

With the potential money this can make the club, with the possibility of T.V. revenue added, this sort of money change the season. I really hope that the club holds true to their word and let's Coley have a chance to splash a little cash.

me too, we've had a taster of what this team can potentially do (without getting too giddy just yet) so hopefully Sir John has already been told to go forth and find the class striker we are short of.

Have any of you lot got msn? PM me if you want my addy. I'm absolutely ecstatic with this, I've got this feeling inside me, I really cant describe it. This has got to be one of the best ties we've had in a while, not because it's against Accrington, but on the day it's going to be absolutely amazing. A sell out at the crown ground in-front of the TV cameras (hopefully. A cracking atmosphere, a bit of friendly banter and it's also a team I very much doubt we've played, and this will be another ground to tick off the list, you don't get many chances to go to Accrington, especially if you're a Newcastle fan.

"Accrington Stanley? Who are they!" Mayvbe that famous quote could be re-written to..... The team that beat Newcastle United, you never know, it just could be a memorable night for your lot.

All the best anyway.

Fulham's away support is woeful, I'm surprised they even sold out at your ground.

Was up at the ground today and almost everybody was saying Newcastle in next round but up in north east, but avin em down the crown suits me down to the ground fantastic draw for the club and if sky televise it there should be plenty of ££££££££££ in it plus a chance for the ultras to put on a show.

also! i think fans who travelled to doncaster should get first dibs on tickets!

Funny thought season ticket holders had first refusal

and not everyone can go to mid-wk away night matchs

However....I dare say the local plod may have a say in whether or not this goes ahead at the Crown.

It goes without saying it's all ticket and I think we could probably sell the ground out two or three times over,such will be the demand,however.... what would the cost of policing this at our stadium be???

If that is indeed a pheasable operation to police, knowing that the geordies travel in large numbers.

I've got a feeling that this one will end up switched to a neutral venue !

Not much chance of this been switched or moved to a neutral ground either!! As Stanley have the home tie it will be played at the crown in front of a full house

And their Team and Management treated our Club in a disgraceful manner , which will never be forgotten at 'The Crown' !.

For me, they didn't !!!

I'd say they brought about 8-900 !!!! Anyone got an ACTUAL figure of how many fans Fulham brought???

How many like minded Newcastle fans will want to "tick the Crown off their list" or enjoy a good old nostalgic trip down here ??? With the ground at present capacity, policing, segregation I think that Newcastle will get 1500 tickets...at most !!!

I'd bet there were only 3 dozen coppers on duty for that Fulham game... The police presence for this sort of game will dwarf that. And so would the logistical costs !!!
