FA Cup 3rd Round draw | Salford City (H)

Don't see it as that much of a problem of course at lot of rags in Salford will probably turnout, could make for a great atmosphere. When Fleetwood played Blackpool in the cup when they were a nonleague team in the 80s the whole town turned out putting aside rag and dipper allegiance for the day. If the MIB want trouble they can find it in town after any of our home games and they know that's not a pain free experience. Hope it's a good day for everyone.
 
Interesting to note the discussion regarding how many tickets we should receive for this game. Obviously the close proximity of our two clubs will bring out the usual 'once in a lifetime' attendees which is always the case when lower level teams receive a glamour tie in the FA Cup although I'd much rather have this scenario with people coming for a 'day out' rather than 'others' there just to cause aggravation. Interesting to note that our average away following in the EFL last season was 188 with the highest being 674 (at Stockport County) and the lowest 56 (at Gillingham). I'm pretty sure we have something like 1000 season ticket holders.
 
There are loads of Manchester teams:

Obviously, City
FC United
Wythenshawe Town
West Disbury and Chorlton
Abbey Hey
Maine Road
Wythenshawe

That’s in the top ten tiers. Then even more from tier 11 down.

Wythenshawe Town were on the BBC in the First Round Proper last month.
I apply a wee difference here. There are plenty of teams from Manchester but they should include Manchester in their name and exclude the word Yoonited!

Think GMP might decide its a risk having 6k wannabe hooligans rock up.
Plus Im hoping City see it as a day to get young kids into the ground with parents, really dont want a bunch of no marks in Black ruining the day.
