FACup third round draw
« on December 01, 2024, 04:50:46 pm by drfchound »
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.

Lowest team possible, then a big team in R4

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

Away if it’s a big team, home draw otherwise!

Like to see us get winnable ties upto a club record breaking 6th round, I believe our best run is to the 5th which GM matched last time.

I would love Sheff Utd away, give Billy one last outing in front of beloved blades fans and both sets of fans chanting out his name.
Plus easy to get to and a result could be doable.

or spurs away, celebrate in London for the weekend, it's my son's birthday on the 4th, so that's what we are hoping for...

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.

Many no doubt will want Man Utd away it think that would turn to moans when it’s £40+ for adults

I have this nightmare vision of us getting beat at Harrogate away.

Spurs away for me

I'd imagine most prem teams will be in the FA cup that will still sell their ground out

We set and I think still hold the record for the smallest gate ever at the Emirates stadium for an Arsenal first team game.

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.

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.

All about opinions. I thought it was the most fantastic, comfortable stadium I've ever been in.

Funny, I thought the same. Also what a great occasion that must have been  for Alfie May, the previous season he was playing in Kent for Hythe Town.
