The fact that it seems EVERY team rests players for it suggest so...
Have you just arrived in 2011 in a time machine from about 1992?

I noticed huge chunks of unused seats at St Mary's today to, and they were playing Man U!

The FA Cup is a victim of modern day football. It is not really about the cup losing it's appeal to the fans.

He has a point though!
Apparently Barry Lloyd has just been sacked by that nice bloke Bellotti

Was about to point this out too - how f***ing embarrasing for the South Coast Club - I'm sure Rednob will have an excuse ready though
And I assumed that our visit their was their biggest cup final this season

I believe that the Southampton tickets were on sale on condition that you buy a Carlisle ticket.

But Man U fans had three quarters of the Northam Stand today. Very poor support if you ask me. Compare that to the binfest on here if we had drawn them. Of course, it could still happen...

Hope we draw Utd away, we'll make the revenue on the one day that we would have made on the sale of .... no I won't mention the name!

Fans are not fooled by going out to a big club and being charged 50 quid for the privilage of that.
Playing the big clubs just isn't as appealing as it used to be

Too many foreign coaches bringing memories of their home countries' cups.Run out for the reserves etc, witness posts on here for Woking,UofMFC. People don't want to pay to watch the reserves having a run out,and this attitude contaminates ALL rounds until 4 teams get a go at Wembley.
If we draw a "big" team away,there'll be a surge for tickets at our end,and a stifled yawn at theirs.

I think it still has its appeal to lower league clubs but probably not so much for the top teams in England

How about there is not so much money around? Maybe people just can't afford it.
Only 28,792 there, small time club, has anyone told them we've sold over 2,500 season tickets for the Amex?
At most matches on TV these days, except for ManU, Arsenal and a few others, if you look behind the summariser you're likely to see quite a few empty seats...............I guess this is OK for the clubs because of the TV money - punters aren't so vital a part of their revenue stream as they used to be. Plus, most of us are short of a few bob these days.................
