FA Cup 2023-24

[give it to gordon]

Not sure - but Manchester United look to extend the record to 13 consecutive home draws in domestic cup competitions.

Plus their record of have every one of their 120,000 fa cup ties shown live on tv

Of the 64 in the draw I'd like one of the following as I've not seen us against them at either their ground or one of our grounds.

Coventry City - Not seen us at the Ricoh or them at the Etihad.
Millwall - Not seen them at the Etihad, but I'm not too keen to!!
Plymouth Argyle - Not seen us at Home Park or them at the Etihad
Preston North End - Not seen them at the Etihad
Rotherham United - Not seen us at their new ground
Maidstone United or Barrow - Either, home or away.
Wycombe Wanderers or Morecambe - Morecambe home or away, though I did see our reserves draw in a pre-season game at their old ground in the late 70s.
Shrewsbury Town - Not seen at the Etihad
Chesterfield or Leyton Orient - Either home or away. I've seen us play Chesterfield at Saltergate and Maine Road but not at the new grounds.
Aldershot Town or Stockport County - Aldershot home or away or Stockport at home.
Alfreton Town or Walsall - Either at home or Alfreton away even though tickets will be like rocking horse manure.
Blackpool or Forest green Rovers - FGR home or away
Cambridge United or Fleetwood Town - Either, home or away
Bolton Wanderers or Harrogate Town - Harrogate home or away but their ground is tiny so tickets would be near impossible to get.
Wrexham or Yeovil Town - Wrexham at home or Yeovil home or away
Crewe Alexandra or Bristol Rovers - Either at home
Peterborough United or Doncaster Rovers - I've seen us away at both but neither at home.
Eastleigh or Reading - Eastleigh at home or away
Gillingham or Charlton Athletic - Gillingham at home
Stevenage or Port Vale - Stevenage home or away, Port Vale at home
Newport County or Barnet - Newport at home or Barnet either home or away
Oxford United or Grimsby Town - Either at the Etihad
Sutton United or Horsham - Either of them home or away
AFC Wimbledon or Ramsgate - Either of them home or away

Not a chance. Arsenal (away) I shouldn't wonder.

United home to Alfreton Town

I can't go if we play Sunday so ideally a home draw against someone where its not likely to get moved for tv. We must be overdue a dull draw by now.

Turned the BBC on hoping to see the Alfreton FA Cup tie.
Blinking snooker on instead !
Wonder how long it will be before Rocket Ronnie walks away - again ?
If you detest something so much, just pack it in ?
He must be loaded, so give someone else who still enjoys snooker, a chance...

He wins a game comfortably and then moans on he isn't enjoying playing because he's playing so badly. It makes his opponent look shit.

In the 70's and 80's he'd have ended up with a cue round his head annoying bellend ;)
