The draw for the 3rd Round takes place at c. 7pm today, live on BBC/ITV apparently.

What would we like?

The numbers for the draw above - PL clubs shaded in blue. We are ball number 37.

Kidderminster Harriers at home please.

If not, I wouldn't mind Charlton away!

As always, I want someone sh*te at home.

As always, we’ll get Chelsea, Arsenal or Everton away.

Someone else will need to remind me of the last time we drew a big team like that in the FA Cup third round.

Oh dear. I hadn't realised Harrogate beat Pompey. How sad.

Which according to the local MSM is 'bizarre' - by which they mean, it seems, it's close to illegal that a League 2 side defeats an inadequate League 1 side

Only on Itv4 as well, so if the plan was for fucking no one to watch it, mission accomplished lads.

Yeah mental as one of highlights of whole cup is 3rd round draw. Surely they must want to sell more Emirates?

That's not "on TV" is it? And not an obvious place to look, neither is ITV4, who looks there?  Didn't the 3rd round draw always used to be on BBC1??

back in the day it was radio only, and to be honest as a spectacle its made for radio.

To be honest, the first place I look is the BBC website and there it was. Good to see David Seaman looking well and with a huge smile on his face, as always.  

Shit draw though. Always want a new ground and the long trek to Swansea is not overly appealing. Such is life.

Oh yeah, good point. 

Obviously that wasn't the memory I was referring to although I'm sure some people who went would have enjoyed themselves!

Been a few good visits to Swansea over the years, Gabbiadini game was superb though mate, good old days under Mark Hughes. 

Officially away fans were banned for the friendly in the summer as Wales still had covid restrictions,  was the same against Cardiff a few days earlier but a few still managed to get in. 

Hopefully this one works out like our last trip across the border this season.

The scarves on the seats game was a memorable day. Wonder if people are still cross about missing out on their free merch?

I'll go to this one if it's not on the Sunday. Let me know if you need a lift.

Weird how we had a rash of aways then a rash of homes then another much longer rash of aways broken only very briefly by the pimple that was Watford at home 2 seasons back. 

I'd like to know the record run of consecutive away and home draws on third round day in the entire history of the FA cup if anyone has this information please.
