Leeds too, but at Bellend Road.

Just a 15 minute stroll for me.

Any of the big boys for me, there are plusses to either home or away.

Definitely not Leeds, that'd bore me. And of course not a dull EFL club, especially not one who will probably beat us.

Man Utd away or Chelsea away as they are the only 2 teams I have not seen us play in a competitive match.
Got to be away for the gate receipts.
PLEASE PLEASE not Exeter/ Forest Green or Yeovil/ Port Vale away.

Exeter or Forest Green would be a nightmare, especially given our recent FA Cup history with Exeter...

I hope it's Chelsea, preferably away, but I'm anticipating someone like Preston, Reading, QPR, etc, which will be completely underwhelming.

More likely to be Bournmouth or Swansea away. Their supporters will not be interested,and they are more than capable of giving us a good hiding.

It's got to be ManU away if we want the funds for a good January window. We already have the Arsenal game but ManU could bring in the best chance of boosting the budget to help with maintaining our position in this league.

Post by: Padge_DRFC on December 03, 2017, 06:35:10 pm
Man Utd at home. Best away fans in the country. Be a boring atmosphere at OT apart from us Rovers fans.

Liverpool away would probably result in our fans joining in with you’ll never walk alone sadly

Either one of the big sides away.  Man U or Liverpool would be brilliant or failing that a favourable game against lower league opposition at home with a good chance of progressing.

Ideally I'd like to avoid a championship or lower premiership side.

For me, either one of the really big clubs, home or away, or someone we could realistically beat and get to round four.
We haven’t been in round four after entering at round one for ages.

I actually think it's much improved since they rebuilt it. I've been there three times (including THAT day) and enjoyed every one. It's not cheap though.

I might book a hotel in Reading as its miles away from here, miles away from the station when you get there and is a right royal pain in the backside of a team who always beat us.

You can guarantee the draw will go something along the lines of this...

Mansfield vs Man United
Reading vs Doncaster
Liverpool vs Chelsea

Big teams sandwiched in and around us in the order the balls are drawn out, but we get the dirtiest, ugliest, most rotten trip possible thanks to the corrupt f*ckers at the FA*

*this post will be altered accordingly, of course, if those corrupt f*ckers fix it for us to be away at Chelsea.

warming to the idea of Hull away - their manager has gone over the weekend, so they'll be in some disarray, but probably hoping for a good cup run to salvage something from their season; we'll get a decent allocation, so volatile crowd and good atmosphere - turn them over, make them look stupid, get a big money-spinner in R4, everyone's a winner

except Hull - which I don't think would be anything to be too upset about...

there's also an outside chance that it might spoil Jimmy Bullard's day for yet more good news

Anyone know what the prize money structure is these days? Isn't in the order of £100k if you win a third round tie? In which case I want the worst team in it at the KMS followed by Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton, Man U or Man C away in the fourth round.

EDIT: I think its £67k prize money. Worth having.

If it’s on the Saturday - anywhere as dull and as far away as possible (its Haxey Hood and we’re doing the woodfired pizzas, so don’t want half of the Isle of Axholme going to Old Trafford or Anfield)
If it’s on the Sunday - Liverpool away. They’re my second team but I’ve never been to Anfield. Always said I’d only go when th3 Rovers play them.

Someone nce and easy, one of the lowest ranked clubs, for a nice Friday night payday. Herford/Woking at home would be ideal, though Forest Green away would be sweet for me.

Then next round, one of the biggies. We're due Man United.

Mixed feelings about this one.

It's good that we're at home and we showed yesterday what a massive advantage it can be, yet on the other hand Rochdale are a team who have had something of an edge over us in recent meetings.

I'd have preferred Chelsea away for a pay day and a probable 5-0 spanking, rather than this possibility of potentially losing out in a place in the next round to a rival in the same league.

Swings and roundabouts. Very mixed feelings!
