on Wed 16th (day before fixtures come out)

 

as expected we are seeded South group

[the saint in winchester]

and I predict we get drawn against Northampton ... again!! :-)

[Um Bongo]

How is Port Vale Southern???????

[trousers]

How is Port Vale Southern???????

 

Port Vale are classed as 'unseeded' and there are 15 slots available in the Northern unseeded section. All 15 teams in that section are further north than Port Vale.

[Saints foreva]

I like how Nottm Forest are north and Notts County are south.

 

Anyway, would like someone like Oxford away.

[Gemmel]

Happy to get knocked out first round, same goes for the FA cup and JPT

That annoys me.

 

Especially as Notts County is 124 metres further North than Nottingham Forest ( I just checked ) , so they have got the teams round the wrong way.

[Badger]

We must be overdue an away tie at Cheltenham Town

[Arizona]

I suppose Northampton away is practically guaranteed. Either Bristol club away would suit me.

 

Why are Leicester, which is about 30 miles south of Nottingham, in the North pot, whilst Notts Co are in the South pot. So is Peterborough, which is about the same lattitude as Leicester. Norwich is on the same lattitude as the pair of them but in the South pot. Odd.

Because there are are two pools.... SEEDED and UNSEEDED teams.

 

There are 15 slots in both pools for northern teams and 20 slots in both pools for southern teams. They simply divide the unseeded teams into two geographic halves and the same with the seeded teams. Thus you can get a seeded team geographically further north in the southern seeded pot than a team further south in the unseeded northern pot.

 

Dusty Bin anyone?

You haven't really got to grips with the terms "Seeded" and "un-seeded" have you?

[Arizona]

I'll come clean. I've been up since 4am and couldn't be arse to read those lists properly.

[Saint Fan CaM]

When would we be likely to face the blue phew? I would relish the thought of playing them when their squad has been decimated and they're being managed by The Android because nobody else wants the job!

[Alejam]

Oxford would be good. 15 miles away, nice and easy.

[fish fingers]

Stevenage Borough away please.

[Hatch]

Wycombe or Redbridge.

Not Dagenham though.

[toofarnorth]

Bournemouth. Another game against our new big rivals

[Matthew Le God]

Tie of the round!

[Mister Neil]

Bournemouth at home then!

[Dave Benson Phillips]

A very nice draw. Splendid.

[yellow&blue]

Perfect start to the season!!

[saint.tom.clancy]

Nice easy start.

[stmaxx]

[Badger]

Don't play them for years in a meaningful fixture,then rather like buses, three come along in quick succession.

 

Said with his Grumpy old man attitude this morning.

 

But should at least provide a good gate,and some overtime for Hampshire Constabulary.

[Bourno]

surely the tv game if there is one.

[Fergie]

Awesome, hopefully get a bumper crowd in there for the local derby of League One.

Cheap tickets please Mr.Cortese and lets get St.Marys full.

[stevegrant]

Various threads merged...

[stevegrant]

I'd expect the Skates' game at Stevenage to be on TV.

[The Godfather]

Probaly not, maybe if bournemouth were at home. Likely to be Stevenage against the skates.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Good cup tie really - will they be a push over...I don't think so? While we must go out to win, this is surely not a priority this season?

It will be a good game as both sides play football.

As opposed to snooker?

[Fergie]

Bournemouth's forum seem buzzin about it, as are we.

Saying they are upset at not getting a big club though, haha.

 

Cannot wait for 9th August now!

[revolution saint]

This is great news - Bournemouth get their cup final early and decline from there.

[trousers]

At least they can play in their home kit now that we wear white....

[OWTS]

What sort of crowd we looking at? I expect Bournemouth till take 2,500+.. not sure if they will sell-out though with it being a less meaningful game than a League game.

 

Oh well, at least it wasn't a boring draw like Northampton!

[trousers]

Pardew to field a reserve team for this so that we can concentrate on the league this year....?

[trousers]

What sort of crowd we looking at?

 

Depends how much the booking fee is I guess.....

[OWTS]

Be a good shout for Mr Cortese to put £5 tickets on? Get a rammed crowd into SMS.

Peak holiday season,so despite the 2,500 away fans I doubt it will top 20,000 (unless tickets are reduced in price significantly).

I reckon they will sell their share, easy. I know it's not a league game and had this draw been later in the season after we've already met each other I'd agree with you. However as this will be our first meaningful meeting I think this will draw a big crowd from both sets of supports. As someone who lives in Bournemouth now, I am looking forward to this already.

 

Edit: Sorry I mis-read your post, I thought you were saying Bournemouth wouldn't sell their share. Agree that the game as a whole won't sell out.

[OWTS]

Could get 25k+ if we put £5 tickets on.

[Dave Benson Phillips]

There is no chance of £5 tickets. We will get 20-25k on £15 tickets ( which is what I would anticipate the price being )

[saints_is_the_south]

As it's a cup game wouldn't Bournemouth be entitled to 15% of capacity? Even though it's a cup game I can see them bringing more than 2,500 since it will be the first competitive fixture between the sides since 1978.

[iansums]

Living close to Bournemouth this is a great draw for me, as long as we win of course. I think they will take a lot more than 2,500 when you consider it's only 45 mins from Bournemouth and how much it means to them.

they will take at least 5k. They have been waiting for years to play us.

A recipe for trouble,sadly it will make our meetings in the league more volatile as they will come down and play 'Billy Big Boots'.

The rivalry will become more intense from our side I suspect and perhaps our fans will soft spot for them will not be so evident in future.

I still dont count them as rivals, this will give them a chance to try and make it so

[Gorgiesaint]

Pardew to field a reserve team for this so that we can concentrate on the league this year....?

 

I would expect Pardew to field his strongest side given how early the game comes in relation to the league programme. We'll still (hopefully) be building an unbeaten run and this will help nicely. I don't expect reserve teams until the 2nd round - unless we draw the few.

[stevegrant]

they will take at least 5k.

They'll only be given an absolute maximum 4700 tickets, although would expect that to be reduced to allow for bigger segregation.
