Villa vs Newcastle or City vs one of those would be good . Palace (or Doncaster pleeeeeaaaasssee) vs Forest…

It doesn’t work like that though. Both clubs have a large majority of fans that can go to the match without the desire to punch a stranger in the head.
Unlike away allocations the hooligans element would be severely diluted by the number of non ‘erberts.
Yes there would be the odd bit of handbags on the tube or at Victoria but nothing worse than say Liverpool/United heading back north. I believe it would be a trouble free day for those that wanted it to be.
Pre match, might even be a bit of a laugh.
(I don’t want it to happen though as we’d certainly lose)
If anything I'd say that makes it even harder to police though?
If we got Palace I really think the police would just have to deal with a 15% away following. There has been no serious disorder at a Brighton v Palace game for a long time, and the only one I can remember in recent times with any mild to moderate issues was the one where Sussex police lied and said Palace fans had knives and knuckledusters to try and excuse how poorly they managed to police that game. And that one was hardly a riot.
I think I'd far rather play Palace at Selhurst than the Amex. More chance of winning.

My reply wasn’t about 15% though, it was in reply to the hypothetical scenario of a semi or final therefore 25,000 of each sharing Wembley Way. However as various combinations of Arsenal/Chelsea/Liverpool/United etc can manage it, I’m sure we can.

Pretty nailed on that Palace will get Plymouth/Cardiff/Preston at home.
I think we’ll be away at Wolves

For the spirit of the cup I hope they are treated in being drawn against each other, though maybe they wouldn't see it that way!

You just know it’s going to be something difficult and shit like villa or Newcastle away
Newcastle is one of the best away days out there and easy to get to from London. But guaranteed if we do get it then it will either be a Monday night or Sunday lunchtime.

Doncaster, Plymouth or ideally Cardiff away.
Bournemouth, Man City or Forest away in the undesirable category.
The draw has opened up but plenty of difficult games left in there.

Just a quiet guy.
Quite fancy Forest away with Balabe available.
