FA Cup 3rd Rd Draw - Rotherham (H), 2pm Sunday 6th Jan 2019

[Corky]

That's the thing though, the FA have no idea what the best price to charge for the game is, why are they trying to pretend they do?

The FA used to get disputes every round when prices had to be agreed. There was a big one for City v S****horpe in 2006.

City wanted to charge £15, scunny wanted £20+. It took ages to get sorted and ended up being £18, but city charged £15 and susidised the home fans. After more of these they just decided to set a minimum price and let the home team decide.

I believe it was Bernstien who put it up to £15, but reduced it as a concession for the FA Cup final being in the evening.

There's simply too much competition to name just one player.

Should the fa cup be seeded now?
My idea Let the prem teams in at round 4 and no prem clashes until round 5.
That way the also rans can get a big pay day and the elite teams don't have to worry about burn out.
The cup is losing its flair and needs some new ideas.

I brought this up when they were talking about the winter break, would have been easier to take the PL clubs out of the third round than split a PL weekend.

They beat us in a pre season friendly about 09 or 10. There was a fuckin pitch invasion at the end... the sad yard dogs

Wasn't it 2012 after we won the title? I heard them all saying Champions my arse and stuff like that on the way out. We had the likes of Shay Facey, Santa Cruz & a triallist striker playing.

That’s too good an idea to be considered..
