FA Cup 3rd Round Draw

[muzzy magic]

Sunday 28th November 1800h We are ball 21

Who would you like to get?

 

[Motown Fox]

It's got to be Wednesday for me in view of our Chairman (well he is at the moment) being their Chairman by the time the game is played.
If so I wonder if he will be waving to the opposition fans (i.e. us) like he did in the League game at Pompey to their fans.:icon_wink

 

[GazLCFC]

Any non league team at home.

 

[Hazzman]

Anywhere I've not visited away. Failing that, West Ham at home.

 

[Billyjof]

Hmm.... the merits and distractions of a cup run...

Prem team at home would be good. See how far we have come under Sven.

 

[East Anglia Fox]

Dover at home, and then bring on somebody like Schlupp and see how good he is.

 

[Siouxsie]

Any non league team at home.

Yup let's get through another round but with a little tv coverage.

 

[fitz]

York away please

 

[Blue Maniac]

Torquay away please, for two reasons. Reason one, to piss Fitz off :icon_bigg and and reason two, so I can tick off another ground.

Like your style, but that tie would suit me very much....one of my best mates is a Torquay fan (lives down the road from me though) and I've promised should the tie ever happen we'll make a weekend of it.

I've already seen City play there. Pre-season friendly 1997 - bloody hot day - we lost.

We also played there pre-season a couple of years later. We've never played there competitively.

so I can tick off another ground.

I've already been there. A crap 0-0 with Scunthorpe in 2001. Followed by a long wait for the overnight National Express coach to London, then the first train home in the morning.

What an absurd route.

What an absurd route.

Coming from the chap who goes to Hartlepool via London

The draw takes place at Wembley this evening, live here on FATV and ITV1, and we have two rock gods to pick out your teams in former Oasis man Noel Gallagher and Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno.

Both are more than familiar with Wembley, having played to sell-out crowds in the Stadium last year as part of Oasis' tour when Kasabian provided the support, and they will both be hoping to pull out favourable draws for their own teams, Manchester City and Leicester City respectively.

The numbers for the draw are as follows;

1 Arsenal
2 Aston Villa
3 Barnsley
4 Birmingham City
5 Blackburn Rovers
6 Blackpool
7 Bolton Wanderers
8 Bristol City

[Nottingham Fox]

I reckon we'll get team 46 away, so that'll be Burton Albion. Nice local derby.

 

[FryattFox]

Home to Man City

 

[Jeff]

Torquay away please

I might be going there for the third round. Only a 750 mile round trip.

 

[Nottingham Fox]

I might be going there for the third round. Only a 750 mile round trip.

I reckon it'll be called off on your arrival :icon_lol::icon_lol:

Talking of games being called off late, was Notts County v Bournemouth called off yesterday about 1hr before kick off?

Yes and Yeovil's visit to Hartlepool was called off 2hrs before kick off.
