Ultra posh spa town …. wonder if some pubs will shut for the day?
The Leeds United were drawn as the home side.


Ipswich also drawn to play at home - means that our game v Norwich, and Ipswich v Bristol Rovers can’t be played on the same day.

Not necessarily. They're paired for league fixtures so they're not at home on the same day but exceptions have been made for cup games. Especially ones which aren't going to attract massive crowds.

it seems like we always play champo away in round 3. I assume this is just me being wrong after Stoke twice.

Could be a good tie for me. My wife’s best mate at uni owns a pub and her husband and son are Norwich season ticket holders so I reckon a trip is on for me.

I'd be surprised if they picked Chelsea's reserves v Morecambe, regardless of the gap. If Morecambe were at home, yes, all day long. But they're probably going to get smashed 8-0 by Nkunku and Dewsbury-Hall while Cole Palmer puts his feet up.

I wonder about Everton v Peterborough, simply as Everton are so shit there's a chance of something amusing happening.

Is it me or is “Coventry vs Sheffield Wednesday” the most standard FA Cup tie of all time? Like it’s the default setting of the cup.

London clubs biased media ….. they’ll pick the pointless to everyone else Spurs and Chelsea cricket scores.

Highly doubt it with Ipswich at home too. Suspect Ipswich v Bristol Rovers to be the Saturday and we will play the Sunday
Looks like they were both at home on the opening day of the season. There is quite a distance between them and they have different constabularies.

Even if we aren't on (UK) tv, we could still be playing away from Sat 3pm due to the FA Cup's overseas tv deal. Same reason why we played Bournemouth at 12:30 in 2019.

As usual, fans last. I'm sure the kids of Manilla, Singapore and San Diego will be desperate to see Grant Hanley trying to deal with Joshua Duffus.
