Fa cup fourth round
- Thread starter Dav1d
- Start date
You have voted once it says to me, so how?
The post from 'Uptheboro' persuaded me to wander over to their forum(s) to see what the general consensus was to their 'plum' 4th round draw.
Funny how your priorities change when you reach the top. While we were all willing fate to match us with Chelsea, they were absolutely bricking it!
OMG! We nearly got Chelsea, they cried in unison. Oh what a relief to draw little Stanley.
Apart from the umpteen links to the (yes, you've guessed it!) Milk advert, most feel they've already reached round 5.
HA! Don't they know we've already disposed of one premiership team this season & taken another to the 91st minute in another cup game, where it took a player employed purely for his free-kick prowess to overcome us.
Let them laugh. He who laughs last etc. And I know who will be laughing the longest when the final whistle blows at the Riverside.
Can't wait to hear Karanka's post match mangling of the English language as he attempts to say Accrington Stanley were 'erm, the erm, team better us than'

Hope a good few can make the trip over the tops to Boro.
I will stick some details of pubs, parking etc on here once dates confirmed.
Transpennine trains from Manchester,Leeds or York run into Boro every hour.

Just checked with trainline & the cheapest return fare is £37.70 and that's with a 30% railcard discount.
9.03 dep. Acc - arr. Boro 12.12, with 1 change at York. Or,
10.03 dep. Acc - arr. Boro 13.12
Return
18.27 dep. Boro - arr. Acc 21.20 (fastest journey time 2hr 53min)
Looks like the coach will be the cheapest option.
Wonder if we'll get subsidised coach travel, a la Wycombe?

Just discovered if you book separate tickets from Acc - York return + York- Boro return, it reduces the cost to around £32
That's usually how it works with trains once you get beyond a day return ticket.
Sometimes it's more obscure for example my tickets would be Dumfries to Seaham then Seaham to Middlesbrough.
Osc coach is £20 - not bad at all
Interesting article in the Telegraph about which games will/should be televised:
The five FA Cup fourth-round ties that should be on TV, and the five we think will be picked
It seems there are five altogether. Despite, possibly, being the lowest placed side left, we don't even get a mention!

The article's from the Daily Telegraph! But still none.
True, in particular the LT - although they did go with a 'story' about the team's toaster being nicked from the changing rooms last week. Way to reinforce the tinpot label!
Shame they don't print our match reports as quick
