FA Cup QF Draw | Bournemouth (A) | Sun 30 Mar 4:30pm

Don’t know whether you are trying to “catch a few” with this post, but we have a great record against Bournemouth.

Nope. Best side left in the draw (apart from us). The one I'd have really liked to avoided. Beateable yes, but their strengths are our weaknesses.

From a travel point of view, Saturday lunch time is probably going to be the only TV slot where you can do it there and back by train on the day.

Possibly the early afternoon Sunday game. But long distance train travel on a Sunday is rarely straight forward.

I fancy this one but don’t think my 20k points will be enough.

I've never got Bournemouth, even with the extra 600 I'm not confident my 25k will be enough

We might have but right now I suspect they are the best side (us excepted left in). Not the draw I would have liked or wanted.

Who's the worst?

Think he meant facing us at Etihad

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Who do we play on the Wednesday and who do Bournemouth play ?

We play Leicester they play Ipswich

Any idea of the dates for these games and when will we know the day and tv schedule

Weekend of 29th/30th March.
For the last couple of rounds, dates/times have been confirmed on the Friday following the draw. It may be a day or two sooner for the QF with there only being four games in total but don’t hold your breath.

 

[Beanhead]

Villa away would have been worse

Disagree. The table doesn’t lie.

 

[Ysabel 123]

Is he a bit bitter because we went on to be a top side he wasn't part of?

Seems like a right Tool now,

Michael Brown on the other hand. A player and person you never thought would become a pundit but he is really good to listen too.

Micha is bitter because he turned down £100k a week for 5 years from City (£26m in total) to join Villa for £50k a year over 2 years and get relegated!

That's not me being a smart arse. There is an episode of A League of their own where he tells the story himself and get the piss ripped out of him!

Kirkez and Dujsen out of this game. Huge that

Are they both suspended?

 

[Eaststander1]

Tough draw with what was left but Bournemouth have the 2nd worst draw, after drawing us at home.

We will rightly be favourites and fancy us strongly. Have to.

Worst case for tickets, plus its bloody mothers day weekend. My mrs can have the kids all to herself as a present on that special weekend :-)

Hehe, just think, if you can't get a ticket for the game you might have all those kids sat on your lap, mytherin' for 'this and that' as you try to watch the match on tv!

Can’t be Sunday as it stands as Bournemouth play on the Tuesday following

Can we save the train v megabus nonsense for the semi and final pls

If we get through this round,we have only met Villa/Brighton at Wembley before if I remember correctly,so decent chance of a meeting with a new team of possibly Fulham/Palace/Forest/Ipswich or Preston.

 

[Eaststander1]

11,300 capacity so 25% equates to 2,825, it wouldn't surprise me if the powers that be put it on the Friday night!

It wouldn't surprise me either .....

Didn't they have us playing at Tottenham in the Cup on a Thursday or Friday night, when we had 9,000 fans there?

They don't give a monkeys about the fans ..... as far as they're concerned if you can't find a guest house or hotel for the night, you can always kip under the pier, and hope the tide doesn't show up!!

It was Bournemouth that the Premier League changed the stadium requirements for. They were originally not going to be allowed to be promoted.

Good. If the team is good enough then they should be promoted.

 

[franksinatra]

Great draw, ground around the corner from mine but very little chance of a ticket in the City end. Hopefully will be able to watch a bloggers diary of his first match, watching City, on YouTube later.

 

[lancs blue]

Scrap that, the away team get 15% not 25% so it will be 1,695! what do we get in the league?

Wolves got 1945 for today's match, so that must be most of that side stand.
League allocation is just over 1200.

Kirkez and Dujsen out of this game. Huge that

This is very helpful. 2 of their best.

 

[johnnytapia]

Dunno what the grumbling is about. Salford home, Orient away, Plymouth home and Bournemouth away, we can’t say that’s harsh

Because we have some absolute fannies who trot out the same old, tired shit every draw. “and there it is, away draw. Just knew it.” Fannies.
