2nd Round draw …..

[DD]

Quelle surprise AWAY
Shite again

[Filo]

And yet another away draw!

[DD]

PLEASE
Can someone work out the number of away cup draws we get - it really is ridiculous

[Alan Southstand]

This is ridiculous!

[mushRTID]

When it got down to 4 I’d have taken this over a trip to Bristol or Port Vale!

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Unbelievable Jeff but should draw a good crowd. One of the hardest ties we could have drawn.

[Filo]

A good chance of being a TV game I reckon

[Fal]

Doubt it, a lot more appealing ties in there.

4 H 14 A last 18 in FA CUP
4 H 13 A last 17 in League Cup

Vertu/etc cup is skewed - with current format we are guaranteed 2H and 1A in the group phase, and group performance determine H or A draw

[Thorney]

No chance this should be selected for tv

That is insane

[Monkcaster_Rover]

We owe these one after the sodomising we received last season. Let’s go and dish out a pasting.

[Thorney]

Was it me or was that draw a bit chaotic.

Lescott pulling the balls out so fast like he couldnt wait to get out of there.

The whole buildup is ott

[colincramb]

It’s really not. They are 7th in league 2. Far harder away games we could have drawn from our league

[rich1471]

At least it's not far to travel and some cracking pubs ,it's got Sunday afternoon kickoff written on it all day long

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

The draw stat is simply mental, no doubting that.

Thank you Brian
Almost as bad as our Boxing Day travels!!!

Very minor mistake - went at it too quickly while child minding, it is remarkably 4H 13A in both competitions (one of the 14 Away matches in FA Cup was a replay)

An unforgivable transgression. Please hand in the keys to your spreadsheets and leave via the back door.

[Pintolager]

A tricky, but winnable tie and as mentioned above, a chance for revenge over them after last season.
Chessie fans think that this game might be moved by the Police as Derby play Leicester at dinner time on the same day. If so, Friday could be the only option as we are at home to Stockport the following Tuesday.

[drfchound]

Friday night could be good.
Game on tv perhaps and not far for most of us away fans to travel.

If my Pascal Triangle calcs are correct, I reckon the odds against that specific outcome (8 out of 35 at home) are 1463/1.

The odds on not having more than 8 out of 35 are 1064/1 against.

Really astonishing int it? I reckon we wouldn't expect one run as bad as this in a time equal to the whole period of recorded history, based on a 50/50 chance of any tie being at home.

[ForsolongaRover]

Our record in home ties has been dreadful though. Without looking it up, I remember losing to Stevenage and Kings Lynn and of course Palace twice. Is that 4 losses out of 4?

[IDM]

I doubt our game would be on telly, whatever day it’s on.

[Padge_DRFC]

Deal between both clubs should see a decent crowd and decent away following at say £15 a ticket. We also get behind their goal for cup matches due to the 15% rule.

It's a good tie, tough game for sure though

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Unlikely to be a normal kick off time, probably an early one.

[Blue Green Algae]

Pompey got about 1,800 tickets for their North Stand two years back. Unlikely this will make General Sale.

 Talking to my Chesterfield supporting friend he says like us they are very slow in central defence, are too nice, flood midfield and rates Dibley-Dias and Duffy as the main dangers their best players
 with Bonis an Irish footballer who played in Holland.

Lee Bonis is a Northern Ireland full international who they signed from Den Haag
