There are 4 all Championship ties so there will be at least 4 of us in the 5th Round. Decent ish chance of a Championship club going very far.

 

Ipswich and Blackburn will probably win and you can't rule out Swansea and West Brom creating a shock. That would be half the teams from the Championship

Away at Watford it is.

Would have preferred lower league team but there you go.

It's a winnable one, so we'll probably lose it 1-0 now I've jinxed it.

Want and Eastleigh v Man Utd where Manure come with their arrogant kids Under 18s and go 2-0 Down in the first Half.

At least some of the Premier Teams will put each other out.

 

And allow the BBC and ITV to show only Premier Teams again and fuck the lower leagues

Apart from Wrexham no doubt.

Wonder if we’ll get a big allocation 

Chesterfield got an allocation of about 4000 tickets in the last round, which is more than 15%. They were initially given 3500 and then requested more. Hopefully we get more than the 15%, can't see Watford selling out for us.

They'll definitely give us the whole 4000 behind the goal if we want it, you'd hope as it's an unattractive fixture for them as well make it cheap tickets. 

It's an easy away day, either quick drive or via London on the train for a few beers. Plenty of pubs in town centre short walk from ground so could be worse. We sold out league game really quickly so with plenty of tickets this time good opportunity for others who missed out to go.

Yep, not the most exciting fixture but a decent day out with plenty of options for a few shandies. Been there a few times, first time 40-something years back for our narrow League Cup defeat (on aggregate :smug:) will get the entire end for the cup so should make a racket.

I think the whole end is about 5800 seats. Not sure we'd sell that many for a 4th round tie...

We took something like that to Spurs 2 or 3 years back for a 4th round replay, think it was live on SKY too. And took 7,000+ to the old WHL long before that, think for 3rd round.

9,000 away for a 4th round tie in 1984.

Edit: Any excuse...

Spurs in the new stadium may have been a little bit more appealing than Watford, but the `London' away games always seem to sell out.

I was at the WHL game in 1990. What a day.

Was the 9000 at nottarfkrap? I saw a small clip of the away game at Sheff Wednesday in the 6th round and that look like a huge following.

Let's be honest we will put out a reasonable side at worst. Apart from a couple of youngsters, the side against Walsall was pretty strong. So we should as well. As others have said - the draw is gonna open up for the championship sides.
