I thought flyer said that they had bought loads of world class talent? In confused.

[Fitzhugh Fella]

This draw is perfect for the likes of Chaplow, Guly, Cork Seaborne etc etc to prove they are good enough to be given a chance in the Premiership

[Ken Tone]

The early season home game against Leeds when we walked all over them and their arrogant, deeply unpleasant, fans started singing 'what the **** is going on?' is still a sweet memory.

[CB Fry]

We should be going for it. I'd take the cup over four or five league places, as long as we stay up. Winning a cup is actually exciting. Finishing, say, eleventh, isn't.

[MrMojoRisin]

Please now play the full team Nigel as we are only a few games from a cup final.

Well have to play largely a first team here.... Maybe 3 changes or so

[Sheaf Saint]

Good draw... fro me anyway because it's a local (ish) game for me.

Most certainly this. Let's see what happens in the league games and if any injuries occur but this could be a great opportunity for the team/squad to succeed.

Why do all our matches have to be away?

[yorkie]

bloody long trip for a midweek game. How much is Bates charging Leeds fans these days. I recall the ticket prices being on the expensive side last time round. Elland Road evening cups games are usually pretty decent affairs mind.

 

See no reason why we should rest too many. Let's try and win this cup. Silverware is what it is all about.

 

In answer to your question he charged £20 for Everton game - and Everton took 5,000 fans...we'll be lucky to take 500!

See you there?

[This Charming Man]

The team we put out last night should be strong enough. 80% have played in the Prem for us.

 

Our team from the other night would be far too lightweight to play up there, a Warnock side would bully them. Would need to beef the starting line up a bit and play with much more tempo. It was like a pre season game at times and if Antonio was actually able to finish, we could've been in a bit of trouble.

[Leicestersaint]

I think we can get a result there - and should try to progress in this cup.

[Nexstar]

Tough one, I'd say play the kids until we reached the QFs as that's when it hots up. But looking at the Everton team they beat the other night we're going to need some bulk and experience to get past them at Elland Road.

[pingwing]

TBF Im all for giving it a bash next year but I would rather concentrate on the league this year

 

Oh yeah League has to be a priority but if 15th is the sort of area we are going to end up a decent cup run and the off chance of Europe would be a nice bonus

 

In answer to your question he charged £20 for Everton game - and Everton took 5,000 fans...we'll be lucky to take 500!

Good news, Bates is apparently going to sell Leeds today! Might get a reasonable ticket price...

[bender]

The games are on 30/31st but we play on the previous Sunday 28th (not Sat) and Leeds play on Fri 2nd Nov at Brighton.

 

One of us will have to play 2 games within 2 days

[Sour Mash]

See you there?

The normal away section that Everton fans had was charged at £28, which is their category C game price. The Everton behind the goal had a much better deal at £20. We'll most likely also be a C category game for tickets, so looking at £28 for adults and £17 for kids. Not great.

Good point. Weird that we only need to win four games and Cortese has his European football... Is that correct? Would playing our best team each time in this contest really doom us to likely relegation...?

Agreed

 

But lets face it we have more than enough to deal with in the league atm without losing another first choice player

[cambsaint]

Well worth going for, a televised tie against one of the big clubs would bring in a few quid, even if we didn't win.

Very much like this.

[kpturner]

I have never had a sticky before.

[Cheese on Toast]

I have never had a sticky before.

 

Is this a euphamism?

[saints_is_the_south]

So when is this game going to be played then? We play Sunday so won't want to play Tuesday, and Leeds play the Friday after so won't want to play Wednesday, so which side will be looked at more favourably when they are putting their case forward as to when they want the game to be played?

Play it early morning on the Weds. Only fair option.

[saints_is_the_south]

I am mostly interested as I want to get train tickets booked.

[Sour Mash]

Looks like Sky games have been announced as Reading v Arsenal on the Tuesday and Chelsea v Man Utd on the Weds.

[Orange]

I am mostly interested as I want to get train tickets booked.

 

Won't be any trains back will there?

[JRM]

i know it is still 4 weeks away, but would have thought they'd confirm what date this game will be played by now so that those going can make arrangements.
