FA Cup R5 Draw | Peterborough (A)

[chaddblue]

DESKGO stand holds 2600 so about right as over 15% of capacity. They'll probably want this as we're a bigger draw than QPR so they'll sell the home tickets for this one. But the away fans are usually at the other end of the ground in the main stand, about 1800 it's reported, and I guess they've geared their security and away fan access to that end of the ground. So we could have the terrace at the other end of the ground which is actually bigger but has established crowd control procedures and their fans could go into the main stand or we could have both like QPR. Either way it's going to be fun...

The guy who replied saying they have to give us the DESKGO is their clubs ticket administrator or something so I'd take that as gospel

Missed the draw when it was being made. Who did Ralf's boys draw? Whoever it is, it'll be on the telly.

Eastenders at home

Well could be Everton in the quarters and Spurs in the final but no Ipswich for the semi. Can't believe it's all 41 years ago.

You think Spurs could reach the final? Riiight.

No chance in hell we get 4k, every part time Peterbrough fan that wasn't interested in QPR will be desperate to turn up, we will get the bare minimum they can give us and charge us as much as possible.

I've just text my younger brother to tell him it's his turn to drive me to Peterborough in a 5th round FA Cup game.
I did it in 1981 in my Morris Ital. We got lost somewhere near the A1 and ended up near a big pub called The Ram Jam Inn ( no Black Betty jokes please).
A great day out,as others have said it was packed in the City end behind the goal.
I never saw any of the scrapping that day, got away after the game no problem.
And we shouldn't get lost these days, my brother has a Range Rover Velar that has a state of the art sat nav!!

I got married that day, back in '81, sneaked off from the reception to listen to the commentary / scores on my car radio in the car park . still married nearly 41 years later, and the wife now supports City avidly, and has now started to want to come to the games with me, so i must be doing something right!

Well you must have been married just a couple of months longer than me and my wife,as we got married on Easter Saturday in 1981 (April 18th).
She was already a City fan when I met her in 1979, but has only ever been to 3 City matches with me ,the last one being the opening game at Eastlands.( Barcelona friendly on a boiling hot August day).
And we still very happily married,almost 41years later!!

the old romantic in me, should point out, that that 5th round tie, (my wedding day,) was also Valentine's Day, and 41 years on, its a bit late for a "quick" divorce!

Fantastic women in the day would do anything for there bloke and there bloke would do anything for them, that’s probably why so many are still together ( no disrespect meant to any later couples)
