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

What’s the point?
Save 9,000 blues time and money and just give them a 1-0 win.
Players can also have a rest























Or the players can pull the finger out for once, work their socks off and get a 0-0 then beat them at home on penalties
;-)

No chance, I fear. That's the tie of the round. It'll be a sell-out, from both sets of supporters.
If you've never been, though — impressive stadium. Do everything you can to get a ticket, if only for that (I think we'll do them, this time round, incidentally — I don't believe in bogey teams).
Very successful architecture. And that single bank of supporters at the far end shows what can be done.

i'll do my best to get a ticket wherever I can. I think this will be Saturday tea time, myself

You must have been tense through every ninety minutes, surely? If not, I'll have some of the zen that you're smoking…

Of course it was tense; that’s sort of the point.

When I was watching turgid, tedious shite churned out on a weekly basis under Pearce I dreamed of being involved in games that mattered every week. Games where the football was quality and the stakes were high.

And that’s what we’ve had for much of the last dozen years or so.

For me, being involved in games like that, sometimes twice a week, are the pinnacle of being a football supporter- and I’m sure supporters of most other clubs would scoff at the suggestion that it was in any way unenjoyable or a chore.

For me, the risk of failure in situations like that is part of the thrill.

It was a classic old ground in the 1950's as was Maine Road. Great open area car park in front from the main road and many local pubs to choose from for a pre match pint. The developments were naff and ruined it!

The move to Horwich was done to enable the club to recoup a predicted £100 million from the sale of the old ground to developers. In the end they got £15 million. In hindsight they and Bolton council got it very wrong with this and other idiotic town centre decisions. The corrupt bastards ripped the heart out of the town centre which is now a sad shadow of the great shopping town it was in the 1980's.

There was easily enough land to build a Reebok like structure at Burnden.

It’s a crying shame what’s happened to that town. Back in the seventies it was almost on a par with Manchester for shopping, it can’t even compete with Bury now.
