FA Cup 5th round draw - Huddersfield Town (Away)

[Jack74]

It went nuts in the away end when that went in.

Top day out 2 2 , did Duncan Shearer score for them ?

 

[East Level 2]

42nd consecutive domestic cup tie against a team from Championship or Prem.
Notts County in 2010-11 was the last against a team from below the top two tiers. Yet the rags, dipper (both sets), Arse, Chavs etc all get 3rd and 4th tier opponents occasionally.

An early Saturday game would be awesome, 4k city fans on the beer trail at all the boozers on the way back would be an event.

Technically we have been given the hardest draw out of all the prem teams it's fixed!!

For some reason I seem to recollect it being a New Years Day game.

Yes it was, I have been reminded that Doyle and Crossan scored.

That draw must have been fixed, what are the odds on the 8 PL teams all avoiding each other?

Suits the FA down to the ground to have the top teams get as far as possible in order to keep the interest going, and as such both non league clubs get a premier league team so it keeps the dream alive.

Stinks to me,

It's almost as if they had two separate bags (or sized balls). I joking said to my son when the EFL semi final draw was made that they were trying to get two big name teams in the final - but Southampton spoiled that ploy by knocking over the 'Pool.

Come on Len, two massives in one post

You know better than that :-)

Yep.
Slipped up there.
Telco malt whisky on offer half price for a bottle of Speyside single malt.
Had a couple of trebles too many whilst reminiscing (sic?) about the good old days.

Back in the day they use to close the pubs to football fans on the A62 I think, you know the country type pubs over the hills.

I asked because its my birthday on 1st Jan and I thought it was that game, as my Dad and his friend took me and we were like fooking sardines right next to the Main Stand and the old scoreboard end.

It was a big crowd for div 2 I think 45k, dad said it was more, he had it in his head City fiddled the gates down (tax dodge) not sure if that is true though.
