FA Cup Opponents

Bugger - no Gornell I would assume.

Might be without a few of the loan players as well - clubs not wanting them cup tied etc.
 
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. :(
 
bit of a let down after playing them once already this season,lets hope we can win and call it even then.
 
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!
 
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.

:dummy:
 
of course its possible to win... the thread is about wether its a good draw or not... its not..
 
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...
 
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.

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
 
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?
 
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
 
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 ..........
