FA Cup 3rd Round | Swindon (A)

Some past encounters

I have, and it was my first FA Cup tie that I went to.

Wigan at home, won 1-0 Colin Bell scored after Wigan keeper had slipped taking a goal kick. 1970

Anyone else go to the 3rd round tie on the football special in the early sixties. Lost 1-2 . Alan Oakes scored. United were at Southampton that day. Both trains were heading on the same route. Piccadilly Station was chaos. To make matters worse United were 2-0 down at half time but won 3-2.

Should be a decent game, and a chance to rest a few first teamers perhaps. My cousin is an Oxford fan, they all despise Swindon apparently.

Pissed off that the chavs effectively get yet another bye, and of course the rag twats have a home draw, yet again.

Was there for Hortons debut, Young Nigel got some grief that day, and it pissed down.

Cunts still haven't built a fucking roof yet for the away end.

Didn't they have "Jimmy Saville" as their physio?

And Jamie Pollock cut me up in the cricket club car park, was about to give him some but then recognised him and calmed down

Looking at that, 6 tv games maybe:

Forest v Arsenal
Hammers v Leeds
Swindon v Us
Hull v Everton
united v Aston Villa
And either the Newcastle or liverpool home game

There’s rules isn’t there about minimum amount to be given to away fans for FA cup ties

15% so would be 2358.
