Fulham away would been a dream draw, Fulham home is a bit underwhelming. Oh well, at least we should qualify for the 5th round.

Fair enough but is there not some rule both teams have to agree the price of the match ticket in cup competitions.

Lifted for the FA Cup about 8 years ago, home team sets and away has no say. Too many disputes.

League cup the home team asks the away team what that think in effect and take it from there.

Good draw but from a supporters point of view about as uninspiring as it’s possible to be.

Any game that City play in is exciting!! We are never uninspiring. Honestly sometimes I despair. ;-) :-)

We are the BEST TEAM IN THE LAND, IN ALL THE WORLD for goodness sake.

Plus it’s a home game so I can go. Although I must admit I miss that walk along the river bank and through the little park. I’ve sat on a bench there many a time to think about the game and just relish the peace and quiet. Happy Days. :-)

@Ric, Ric, Ric, I know you are the Boss but I never thought I’d read that you thought a City game was a ‘bit underwhelming’! I am shaking my head here. :-) ;-)

I know and appreciate that most of you love the away games but now and again it’s good for us ‘have to stay homers’ to be able to watch the magnificent City play a Cup game! We like to see the youngsters, who are coming through from the Academy, play football with the big boys. :-)

Did that many a time when I lived in London, pub in Putney then pay on the gate at Craven Cottage. In them days, mind, the Fulham R.L. team was getting bigger crowds than Fulham F.C.

I’ll consider myself reprimanded ;-)

That used to be the case but the rule was changed a few years ago. Home team now sets the prices for FA Cup ties but can't charge the away team higher prices than it does for its own fans unless the visiting club agrees.

There's also a minimum ticket price of £10 for adults from first round onwards so anyone hoping for a fiver is going to be disappointed as City couldn't do that even if they wanted to. There's no minimum for concessions so no problem to have rock bottom priced kids/OAP tickets.
 
Pleased with this. Teams involved in promotion / relegation battles usually don’t prioritise tough away cup ties.
