Port Vale (H) - FA Cup 3rd Round Pre-match Thread

[worsleyweb]

A quite incredible crowd. Will almost certainly sell out. It will be a lot of kids first game. We could smash 70,000 every week if we had a proper end and encouraged kids and teenagers to go. Only then will we get an atmosphere back. The club have to be radical and make a huge single end. Simply has to be done.

Who would have thought it. Cheap affordable tickets for a weekend game and we sell out

From a personal POV, less expensive matchday tickets for city card members, going back to going on sale 4-6 weeks before the date of each match, is what would make a massive difference.

100%.
Look at the choice of taking the family (or going with mates) to say Everton league game or this one. Everton would have been loads more expensive, and to get 4 seats together I’d have had to buy those Everton tickets back in July/August when then went on sale.
No contest really.

Bravo, Cancelo, Angelino, Stones, Garcia, Doyle, Foden, Zinchenko, D.Silva, Bernabe, Aguero.

Subs: Carson, Otamendi, Mendy, Gundogan, Rodri, Sterling, Jesus.

2-1 City

If anybody does guess Saturday's starting eleven, they are a genius. Almost impossible if you ask me.

Anyone know which entrance to use for block 119? They have relocated us and whilst they have emailed the details, they don’t tell you the entrance to use.

P, round about there

 

[KCblue]

Bravo, Walker, Harwood-Bellis, Otamendi, Angelino, Gundogan, Foden, Silva, Mahrez, Jesus, Bernabe
Bench: Carson, Cancelo, Stones, Garcia, Zinchenko, Doyle, Braaf

Then I'd roll out the following for the rags:
Ederson, Cancelo, Garcia, Fernandinho, Mendy, Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Mahrez, Aguero, Sterling

Just a point of information for the future. You know that you can just google the stadium and you get a plan of it, with the entrance letters and the blocks clearly marked.

Is VAR being used at all FA Cup games or just the ones the FA want to even the games up?

The Jesus/Aguero role is tough, Sergio needs games to build himself back up but playing both games is not a good idea, so i would play him Saturday and make sure he is fully fit for 2nd leg but who knows.

True, but there are three weeks between the two legs.
