FA Cup 4th Round Draw | Tottenham (A) | Fri 26th Jan, 20:00

[bluesmith]

Spurs + us play the following Weds so it can't be. It's a given for Saturday 17:30 or Friday evening.

There's 16 prem teams playing Tuesday and wednesday it could easily be the sunday.

Not at a shit kick off time. More like half that.

shit kick off times are the norm, at times we have the most apathetic fanbase ever, 9000 blues away in London should be a cracking day out

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Potentially 9000 tickets, but we won't take that allocation. Guaranteed Monday night or Sunday 4.30 ko

There isn’t any Monday night game in the 4th round. Given spuds and us are both playing on the following Wednesday, it’s very likely to be on the Sunday. Liverpool and Chelsea also playing on the Wednesday so that might decide the tv games (although they might not want Spuds, City, Chelsea and Villa playing close to each other, time wise.
EDIT. Villa playing Tuesday so won’t be Sunday.

 

[Frankie lad]

They will be way more worried than us for sure.
Stick the younguns in.We still win.

 

[bluesmith]

I always prefer a lower league side. This is just another pl game.

Assume Son will be back by then. Should be a good tv game.

Son has the last group game on the 25th so they'd have to get knocked out in the groups for him to be back. They have Malaysia, Bahrain and Jordan in the groups so should go through.

 

[burning blue soul]

Talking himself into trouble?
Not like Joseph that

Quiet lad, kept himself to himself.

 

[zandvoort blue]

It`s the biggest tie of the round, and the biggest game always gets 4.30pm slot on the Sunday. TV dictates the date/time of the big games.

 

[JamesMCFC]

At least we have 2 cracks at scoring at their ground this season

Late Sunday will guarantee the best TV audience. Doubt very much it'll be the Saturday. Friday possibly but Sunday will be the Beeb's preference.

The answer to the question is.

From the Portsmouth FC official website.

Ticket prices have been confirmed for Pompey's Emirates FA Cup third round tie at Tottenham Hotspur. The club will receive the maximum available allocation of 8,880 seats for the match, which takes place on Saturday, January 7 (12.30pm kick-off).

This just means we get two chances to break the hoodoo.

Speaking of hoodoo, I wasn’t sure if I’d spelt it right (never written it out before) so I googled it.



Ffs, we’re fucked lads.

 

[blueste41]

Just seen the draw, if the rags get through they get another easy draw. Don’t like spurs away for us, we have a terrible record at their new ground

Not withstanding they are our local rivals I don't understand why so many people are commenting on what United got, there not even in conversations around winning trophies. Do you think their fans were bothered about our draws in the 90's?

It will be 7k tickets I think, and all will be sold

 

[Legal Alien]

FFS...the only positive is that we should get a decent allocation oh and Son ain't playing!

Oh well, i'd have settled for a PL/CL double this season anyway.

COME ON CITY!!!

 

[KS55]

Not the easiest draw but we are better than them.

Teams have had 9000 ish and thats what we are entitled to.

It’s the number of easy draws or home draws they get, it’s getting so often it’s becoming “fishy”

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

For me Steve Mackenzies goal was the best by a country mile.

Yep. Closely followed by both of Tommy Hutchinson's on the Saturday.

FFS, it’s not! It’s 8,800 tickets! I’ve Just posted it from the Portsmouth website. Arrrrgh!

 

[chaddblue]

Almost certainly no Son and quite possibly too soon for Maddison
