FA Cup R5 | Bristol City (A) | Tue 28 Feb 20:00 | - Pre Match Thread

They will pick us to play Spurs or Brighton away with the rags getting Fleetwoid/Wednesday at home which will of course be on the TV! Cunts!

Not sure about the TV bit yet but the rest of the prediction was some way off!

 

[bladdered]

All games in this round are Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

I would guess it will be Wednesday with us playing late on previous Saturday and early on the next one.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

First saw us there in the old first division in 76-77 (I think). Lost 1-0 with a lot of Anti Jimmy Hill chants following some comment he made the previous weekend on MOTD.

Likewise. IIFC they ended our 21 match unbeaten run..........

What are the chances of that? Both the women and the men being drawn away to Bristol??

784/1 isn’t it? I’m thinking it’s fifteen possible teams in each cup so that’s 14/1, but then it’s double that as it could be home or away so 28/1. Then it’s 28x28 permutations, but I’m no expert on working out odds.

Any idea how many tickets we will get for this one

West Brom were allocated 3414. But they can allocate up to 4200 ( Football ground guide)

Apparently Bristol City are going to play a weakened team as it’s the only one they have

It was midweek too I think I remember walking to the ground alongside the river

Tom Ritchie header from a corner I think

Would have been a good old fashioned FA Cup day out on a Saturday afternoon with a decent allocation.

Not so much on a weeknight. Imagine it’ll have to be a stopover but at least it’s finally an away trip in the cups this season.

 

[K-Bo]

Think we needed a softer draw here and glad we got it. Can genuinely rest our increasingly thinner squad and probably still get through.
