FA Cup R5 Draw | Plymouth Argyle (H) | Sat 1 March 17:45

[JGL07]

Never mind Millwall, who are the nutters voting for Cardiff?? I was there in 1994, it was brutal on and off the pitch.

The last time I was there was in 1967 for an FA Cup tie. That match was brutal. City got away with a 1-1 draw at Ninian Park with an own goal before winning the replay at Maine Road 3-1 four days later.

We've never played Exeter in a competitive match.

Been twice
Steve Neville testimonial, circa 1995
Friendly ,might have been part of the Buster Phillips deal

Always Forest away if they’re still in it.

 

[simmo]

Just looked up the distance to Plymouth - 281 miles and on a good run just under 5 hours.

Remember going in 87 or 88. It’s a long way if we draw them.

Voted PNE but not bothered just hoping for a away stadium to take my grandson although Spurs didn't turn out to good.
I've noticed the Dippers are not on the list..does this mean the Quadruple is on hold AGAIN

They seem to give a decent allocation though, 2,592 tickets £29 down to £4 (under 8).

Exeter would be the lowest by far 1,354 tickets, £27 seats and £20 standing last round not played yet

Bournemouth seem to give 1,995 tickets in the FA Cup, the smallest ground if Exeter go out.

Donny normally give 2,500 and Millwall 2,975.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

The Grecians away.

Panathanaikos?

 

[Half Pint]

Only team I would not want to draw would be the Scousers. Thank goodness Wigan are out!!

And now so are LiVARpool ;)

I went to the City Ground in the early 70's with my parents for an FA Cup tie.

We lost 4-1.

1973-74. That was something of a significant game in terms of football history trivia. Played on a Sunday (pretty much unheard of back then) with an early kickoff due to the likelihood of power cuts during the Three-Day Week era.
Duncan McKenzie wreaked havoc for Forest that day.

Did they charge to get in, do you remember?

I remember my early days of going to Lancs for the John Player Sunday League and it was illegal to charge spectators to watch a sporting event on a Sunday in those days.

The used to get round it by pricing the programme at the normal admission price and giving the impression that you couldn’t get in without one. Although I’m sure in hindsight you could probably have insisted you didn’t want a programme. But I never saw anybody try it.

Very civilised crowds at the cricket in those days!
I’ve no idea about that Forest game. The John Player League began in 1969 and I suspect the law was probably amended within a couple of years to allow ‘normal’ admission to sporting events on Sundays.

 

[eyalluvitt]

If Forest go out, we will be the highest team left in the competition.

3 rd Derby final in a row ? Plenty of hot ball fondling to engineer that

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Anyone who is shit please.

FFS, not Liverpool away.

I can guarantee that won’t happen!

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Liverpool at home please we r gonna have to beat them to win it rather play them now than the final.

This aged well…..

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Doncaster Rovers or Crystal Palace - Donc at home. I saw us at their new ground in a friendly.

Sven’s first game!

 

[r.soleofsalford]

At home Preston would be nice

I don’t think the law was actually changed until 1994. But at some point probably in the early to mid 80s, organisers just started routinely ignoring it and nobody was bothered enough to point out that they were actually breaking the law.

It was certainly still the law in 1988, as there was a debate in parliament, where several MPs pointed out that it was still technically illegal.

Stop being romantic, we need to win this cup.
The easiest team at home.
