Fitzhugh Fella Posted 3 December, 2017 Posted 3 December, 2017 In over 120 years of FA Cup football Saints have never drawn Leeds, Swansea or Huddersfield so one of those would be "historic" and Stoke are another big side we have only played the once - in the 30s. But for me I would love to get Newport (A). it would remind me of my first cup-tie at the Dell in 1967 when they earned a replay and we won at Somerton Park 3-2. I bet "LetsBeAvenue" will soon be on here telling us how he was there! (he was) Wolves away would be good too although the way it's looking we will be playing them next season anyway (as long as we stay up ). Crewe away - a decent away trip? We'll probably be home to the Palace though!
Dusic Posted 3 December, 2017 Posted 3 December, 2017 Easiest possible game as will likely be quite low in the PL table by then due to remaining fixtures of 2017.
Katalinic Posted 3 December, 2017 Posted 3 December, 2017 Any non-league side at home, if any of them get through their replay - when was the last time we drew a non-league side?
View From The Top Posted 3 December, 2017 Posted 3 December, 2017 Away somewhere I've never been, ideally up north.

Luton back in the League 1 days. We won 1-0 at home with Lambert scoring a free-kick. They missed a sitter about 5 minutes from time. We tend to get Ipswich quite a lot!
SuperSAINT Posted 3 December, 2017 Posted 3 December, 2017 The easiest side possible at home, please.
Micky Posted 3 December, 2017 Posted 3 December, 2017 (edited) Crewe or Shrewsbury away would be local for me, bring it on. Don't want bloody Stoke though, Crouch will do us again. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk Edited 3 December, 2017 by Micky
Batman Posted 3 December, 2017 Posted 3 December, 2017 the lowest ranked team at home. we never seem to get that
Matthew Le God Posted 3 December, 2017 Posted 3 December, 2017 Batman said: the lowest ranked team at home. Exactly that! Same as I want in every cup draw for Saints. Easiest possible route to the final.
Badger Posted 3 December, 2017 Posted 3 December, 2017 Exeter or Forest Green Rovers away would be good, although create a scramble for tickets. I was in Nailsworth the other week, and really wonder how it would cope with a large crowd arriving for a match.

It actually takes its name from an area of Nailsworth! Nailsworth even has another team in the Southern League.......
Noodles34 Posted 3 December, 2017 Posted 3 December, 2017 We'll get Everton away. I dreamt it the other day.

JRM Posted 3 December, 2017 Posted 3 December, 2017 Hereford away if they still have a decent terrace for away fans. If not them then Newport or Forest Green to tick one of those grounds off.

I was in Nailsworth the other week, and really wonder how it would cope with a large crowd arriving for a match. Luckily they can't have large crowds because they don't have a large stadium! Obviously my first preference is Saints v Newport, my second is Newport v Saints and my third is any away at somewhere I haven't been yet, so (pending replays etc) Port Vale, Slough, Woking, Rochdale or Fleetwood. I've been to Hereford before but not in 30+ years so that would be OK too. Whoever Saints get they'll be competing with Newport's fixture for my attention. And if I they do get each other I'll be in the away end.

I've almost certainly got the programme somewhere though as it was before I was born and the clubs haven't met in my lifetime I can't claim to have had to choose who to support... Only Newport's second 3rd Round match in 32 years, they lost a replay in the 2nd Round to Plymouth last year and missed out on Anfield (of course I didn't), and the year before lost to Blackburn. BTW Saints might consider having a look at Tom Lawrence who played for Blackburn that day, his last few Wales performances have been very good in Bale's absence.
Dark Munster Posted 4 December, 2017 Posted 4 December, 2017 I 4-1 would like us to give the skates a good rogering. Are they still in it?
SaintBobby Posted 4 December, 2017 Posted 4 December, 2017 Any home fixture please. Preferably against a team who won't prioritise it. So NOT a non-league outfit.
skintsaint Posted 4 December, 2017 Posted 4 December, 2017 We will get Citeh away...but want Pompey at home to give them a good pasting.
whelk Posted 4 December, 2017 Posted 4 December, 2017 Spurs away. Get huge allocation and we all know Poch sneers at the cups.
Pilchards Posted 4 December, 2017 Posted 4 December, 2017 A premiership team away so we don’t embaress ourselves by going out to a lower league team, It happens far too often.
Saint Billy Posted 4 December, 2017 Posted 4 December, 2017 Our we all running scared of Pompey then?.

SKD Posted 4 December, 2017 Posted 4 December, 2017 Palace or Sunderland home, for me. It'd be nice to get someone different for a change.
Junior Mullet Posted 4 December, 2017 Posted 4 December, 2017 At home to Woking. My old home team. Grew up watching them and they were unlucky yesterday to only draw with Peterborough. Woking would bring a lot of fans down too. I remember being at Goodison in the 90's after Woking beat West Brom 4-2 at the Hawthorns - great day.
LGTL Posted 4 December, 2017 Posted 4 December, 2017 Somewhere away I haven't been. You can guarantee it'll be a boring home draw, but we are long overdue a decent tie.

Pamplemousse Posted 4 December, 2017 Posted 4 December, 2017 FA Cup represents our best chance of qualifying for Europe next season, so I hope we go all out and try to win it. With that in mind, a lower league team would be nice.

Saint WGC Posted 4 December, 2017 Posted 4 December, 2017 Has to be MK Dons away, lovely ground, loads of leg room and big away end!!
trousers Posted 4 December, 2017 Posted 4 December, 2017 We will get an uninspiring game vs a mid-table premier league or mid-table championship team.
