Title: FACup third round draw
Post by: drfchound on December 01, 2024, 04:50:46 pm
Probably one of the most eagerly awaited events of the football season, if your team is in the draw obviously.
The draw is to be live on BBC2 at 7pm on Monday (2nd December).

What do we want, a winnable home tie to further boost our coffers if we should get to round four or a visit to one of the big clubs?

Citeh, Liverpool, Man Utd, spurs, arsenal away or home. Not a league 1/2 club - bit of glamour and cash to pay for some January transfers.

Home tie against Accrington, Morecambe, revenge opportunity for Bromley or maybe Tamworth or Daggers for old times’ sake. Keep our powder dry for the big tie in the 4th round. No reason other than my daughter’s birthday is the weekend of the 3rd round so I wouldn’t be able to go!

Ball 61.

What’s the betting rovers get Dagenham away?
At least it won’t be Oldham.
I’ll take anyone at home, or an away tie with a decent away allocation. Please not Harrogate.
As per Billy’s post match comments, away at Brammall Lane would be pretty special. Easy to get to. Plenty of pre match watering holes. Local. And the Billy factor. A real footballing day out for all to celebrate. And a big pay day in what would be a bumper crowd.

Plenty of big teams that would suit, plenty local teams in there too. Personally I'd like a smaller club draw, Tamworth/Dagenham

If we are getting a bigger club selfishly I would like Arsenal or Spurs away as I would like to see their new stadiums.

I think most fans would want a big prem club in the next round but apart from that, maybe a decent championship club like Sheffield U or Sunderland. For me, a Saturday trip to Stoke would be good

A home draw please.

Failing that a local team so as many Rovers fans can get to the game as possible.

Not going to be anymore greedy than that.

For every plum draw available there's an Exeter, Bristol or Portsmouth away trip.

In terms of ground you didn't miss much.

From the outside it looks amazing; inside its poor.

Seats so close to the floor to be uncomfortable and awkward and a ridiculously shallow camber to the stand so you struggle to see the game over the head of the person in front of you - young 'uns have no chance. Vestibule areas poor.

Stadium designer did a terrible job given the amount of space and resource at their disposal.

Rovers played well though after the first 15 minutes.

Post by: Thorney on December 02, 2024, 12:00:52 am
Tamworth at home.
Lets try and get as far as possible. The more rounds we win the more money we put away and then draw a prem team later on.

There is no pride in getting spanked in a 50% full etihed stadium in a 3rd round non televised match.

Get more excitment watching us today at somewhere like kettering in the fa cup than playing man city in a 3rd round away.

That’d be my worst draw by far, hate playing Leeds, seeing all the Leeds morons milling about the West stand concourse. Also for me they’re the best team in the FL by far unfortunately, so you haven’t got the Premier League status for the narrative but you’ve got very little chance of winning.

A club that can fill the away end (for a bit of atmosphere).

For the older supporters of both clubs , whilst Lincoln at home isn’t attractive for the cameras, it would be very tasty. I think I’m right in thinking that Lincoln would be one of, if not the team we have played the most, in all
Competitions . The games of the 70’s and 80’s were very tasty . Proper old school

I think it’s a good draw. Down the road, plenty of transport options and a game that currently (who know where both will be in mid Jan) we can definitely win

We beat them last year in the League Cup away.
Our record v Hull in the Cups is good.

Yes I was at that FA cup defeat at Boothferry Park in 81. Yes we have a great chance of winning this game.
Hull are on a downer at present. Just sacked another manager. No doubt a new one will be in place very shortly.  The natives are not happy with the owners. Understatement.

4th away draw in a row for FA Cup

We seem to deal in sequences in the FA Cup, our last 13 draws have been 6 consecutive way, followed by 3 home, and now 4 away.

Either way it is only 3 at Home out of the last 13, which at a quick guess is about a 5% chance of less than 4 (378/8192 I think)

Lge cup/ fa cup no comparison imo.
Hull easy to get to.
The grant effect.
Winnable.
There is a possibility it gets tagged as a risk fixture and ends up with an early ko. Which would be a shame.
Or worse, a Fri night ko.
It won’t be on tv . Given the other draws.
Scunny are away on 11th Jan. Which helps humberside finest.

I remember that season vividly. Hull City had drawn their second round fixture at home to Blyth Spartans and so Rovers were awaiting the outcome of the replay. Many were expecting a trip to Blyth, they had reached the fifth round in 1978 and had a good cup pedigree. The replay also ended in a draw and the second replay just a couple of days before Christmas saw Hull edge through to the third round.

I still don’t know how Rovers lost that day at Boothferry Park. Chance after chance went begging and Hull managed one opportunity which fell to the Welsh International Nick Deacy and he stuck it away.

In the next round Hull lost to Spurs at White Hart Lane, Spurs went on to lift the trophy that season.

That’s the way philsky! Positivity.

This is a fixture that for so many reasons (but not as many as us supporters!) Grant will want to win AND, it’s a very winnable game for us.

Hull have drawn one & lost five of their last six games. They’ve only won three league games this season & see themselves in the bottom three.

Their fans are on the backs of the players, management & board. They’ll be dreading us (with McCann as OUR manager) going there & winning this game & win it we most certainly can.

This time next year I would imagine this fixture being played out on at least two occasions in League 1.

Bring it on!

I think its a decent draw, so much history and connections between the clubs

Our record 37,000 odd attendance was v Hull

That famous headline "Anderson's men thrill 20,000 fans " when we beat them 2-1 in league cup in 70's as a Div 4 side versus top Div 2 Hull

Battling them for the Div 4 title in 04-05 -  full away end at their place saw great free kick equalizer from Mulligan into top bins but later Doolan slipped a horror cross field ball for the god botherer to latch on to for their winner

And very nicely they nicked Grant and then binned him off - plus we have Nixon and Fleming who will be fired up to prove a point alongside Grant.

Really looking forward to it, very winnable and should be a great atmosphere
