FA Cup R4 Draw | Fulham (H) | SOLD OUT (official site)

Yes, I regret that. Years ago – forget which match it was, but it was a winter's afternoon, and the dusk was drawing in, must have been an early round – I was at the top of the Kippax, and across the city I could clearly see the floodlights of that other place. Like seeing Mordor lit up in the gathering gloom. We'd both been drawn at home that day. This was of course in the days when all kicks-off, as near as nothing, were at 3 p.m. I sort of liked it. I thought of them at the top of the Stretford End and looking across the city with hatred at our lights, and us looking back at them in the same way.
My first trip to Maine Rd we were at home to Spurs in the FA cup quarter final rags at home to Everton same day. We kicked off at 3 30 they kicked off at 2 30 we won 1 0 nil they lost I think by the same score. Feared mither in town but didn't see any, rags all pig sick at school on Monday , only 53 years ago, seems like yesterday.
 
It’s down to timings more than anything no? I know pricing is huge but in recent years 3pm saturday cup games have been close to capacity due to the time and good pricing?
 
One of the most apt descriptions I've read of that place. You're the poet laureate and I claim my 5 pounds.
Never noticed you could see the swamp from the Kippax , must have been a couple of miles north west.
