Does every team play a practice 90 minute match against the opposition before the actual game?
Bet we bummed West Ham about 10-0 beforehand.

You've not seen the carrierbag draw recently then?
No, I haven't watched a live draw for a long time tbh.
Was that the cheating one, when they had erm issues and all resumed later with the correct draw in place ?

Don't mention Forest ! Still having nightmares about that one. The worst display by far since the takeover. Totally gutless. That twat Hughe's should of been sacked on the spot after that.
Yep! Boro the day after flying back from a jolly in Abu Dhabi wasn't much better or the Wigan QF at home!
Interesting thanks, of course this part was most interesting "making sure everyone involved knows what’s required of them" do we take this as don't tell anybody about the hot and cold balls lol
Could of been worst could of got the shit.
Could have been a lot worse but could have been a lot more interesting. Can see both teams making quite a few changes

We were selling out FA Cup weekend home games against the likes of lower league Boro a couple of years ago.
We got 50k against Wolves at home midweek in the league cup.
If it's priced well (and it will be) it'll be at least 50k, based on home weekend cup crowds in the recent past.
Agreed. Tbh, 3pm ko's on a Saturday are something to be savoured (which I'm assuming it will be). Hopefully we might even get an ale offer too.

Haha I thought that too.They need to ensure there are some minnows in the draws in 4th, 5th rounds etc for the Rags

I think this is the 48th.It's got to be over 50 domestic draws now since we got anyone from League 1 or lower.
Notts County away in 2010-11 was the last one.

Not brilliant to avoid the lower division clubs but at least we are at home.
We could even be so far ahead of The pack by then that we go full strength, rather than have to play the reserves to keep the big guns fresh. There’s no CL games in jan but we could have a Caribou Cup tie. If we go out of that cup at Leicester then there’s much more chance of a full strength team.
Good chance to fill the ground with kids and casual fans too.
