Fa cup fourth round

Should be Saturday 28th January, unless it's on TV (which is unlikely, methinks).

No chance of BBC or BT Sport I agree, but they put some games on Sunday anyway for the around the grounds thing the bbc does especially if one game is virtually over, and for showing highlights in play.

I think we will get £45 to £50k from the gate, 15,000k ish crowd.

Cup run over me thinks.
 
I reckon we'll be on't telly. Good story...founder member looking to progress further in the cup than ever before. Smallest club left in it, Already killed some giants this year.

Maybe wishful thinking.
 
Our game and Spurs v The Beast are the biggest potential "cupsets", so we might attract the cameras, assuming Sutton and Lincoln don't survive their replays.

Boro and Sunderland were the only possible Prem opponents where "away" means further for me to travel .... we'll see!
 
Middlesbrough have a premiership game on the tuesday after the cup tie
I think they will play a second string line up
They got 23,000 last round charging non season tic holders £15
I think we have a chance here to bring them back to the Wham

More chance of us being on TV than us being a founder member!
 
Almost de-ja-vu from the last draw.
Down to 3 balls with City still in the drum!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still, better than someone like Brentford or Wycombe away.
We're going to play on a big stage against higher opposition & will raise our game. They've got bigger priorities & will field their reserves.
This is winnable, but the best result would be a draw to maximise revenue from a replay on TV.
If Burnley beat Sunderland in their replay, we may get some of their fans adding to our supporters.
 
Hi and welcome again to the riverside.
Unfortunately for you guys we will not be playing a weaker team, maybe 1 or 2 players but it will almost be full strength.

I am pleased with the draw, hopefully Boro will get through this without any problems, I'd love to see us have a good cup run. It beats lingering around the bottom of the premier league scraping wins here and there.

Good luck guys anyway
 
I don't think Boro will risk being overturned on their turf again. I think they will be a bit too strong for us on the day. The cup will be as important to them as it is to us. The next round will almost certainly have a big club drawn against one of us. Heads up we have done it before and we can do it again.
 
Whatever happens looking forward to a good day out, didn't make it last time so brand new ground for me - & there's no reason we can't go all out & pull off another cup upset but if we don't it's no disgrace to go out away from home to a Premiership team - bring 'em on, can't wait :D
 
a good chance of getting at least a draw up there as their home form is not great. a draw would be the best result for us financially as a replay back home could be a televised game. remember the league cup game us there when we had our first look at piero and a night to remember. pleased with the draw 90 mins up the a1 and a19, back home before 7 . it could so easily been norwich/southampton away.
 
Super Sean already way out in front on the BBC vote.
His value is going through the roof!
(or should that be 'over the roof!)
