Let’s get back to winning and then by the time we play them we can absolutely smash the cunts

I suggested earlier but it was tongue in cheek as I’m pretty sure the prices have to be agreed by the away team

My guess if it's picked for TV it won't be an evening/night game due to potential trouble and it can't be Sunday as we play Brentford the following Tuesday night

Early Saturday KO would look likely

Salford will kick fook out of us.

Defo! Under strict instructions from rat boy

Atmosphere wise, it will have the feel of a derby, a lot of United fans support them.

or Friday night ?

No, I played a Junior Cup final at their ground back in about 1996. It looked a bit different then, mind.

They used to play in ‘tangerine’ shirts from their formation until the Rag takeover. Now they’re just another copy of United with red shirts, white shorts and black socks like FC United, for some bizarre reason.

I used to play for them in the 80's...not a pot to piss in.

Three or four early goals should sent them scuttling back to their festering hovel's

Can't see that as I mentioned before about it potentially kicking off. Think the Friday night game will be Tarquins vs rags

Correct but it only changed in 2017 However there is a minimum of £10 with 45% of net income for each club rest going to the FA

The old principle that always used to apply was that clubs drawn together would mutually agree ticket prices for the match, and if they couldn’t reach agreement the FA would act as arbiter and set the prices. Apart from that, the only constraint was a minimum admission price, ensure the total gate was worth splitting – each club receives 45% of net gate receipts, with the remaining 10% going into the FA Cup prize pool.

This rule that admission prices must be mutually agreed still applies for the qualifying rounds of the competition, but it no longer applies to all rounds up to the semi-finals as it did before.
