Well, that’s technically correct I guess as only the 1 & 2 are between those dates, but an odd way to describe it

https://www.thefa.com/news/2025/feb/10/emirates-fa-cup-fifth-round-proper-draw-20251012

Ties in the fifth round will be staged across the weekend of Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 March, with the full schedule and broadcast details to be confirmed in due course following discussions with clubs, broadcast partners and local authorities.

Fairly sure there will be a Friday and Monday game after the TV companies make their picks.

Not so sure - FA website confirms Sat and Sun, and I heard this mentioned on the radio at least 4-5 times today as they were having a discussion about how ties were extended this week. Also confirmed when the new deal was announced. What makes you sure ?

Whitworth has played well for Exeter almost deserves its own thread.

Well done Newcastle. £30 not too bad, normal away price, and £15 for us OAP's. Still not going though.

Agree re the pricing. £30 is good value.
How many tickets do we have?

Only missed one away game this season. Sunday early afternoon kick off simply doesn't work for me.
Trains aren't great, would basically mean the whole day travelling with the exception of ninety minutes of football.
I'm sure I'll regret it but I'm giving it a miss.

Although they are not running one to Newcastle, the Supporters Club coaches appear to be 25% cheaper. Two adults and two under 16s to Newcastle is over £300 with Seagulls Travel. Astonishing.

Got a link because I can't see them on either the app or the main site! Not showing as an away game on the ticket site and can't see it as a news item.

Found it.

Thanks - I recognise that as the news item on Saturday was it? It’s just that I couldn't see it on the away tickets page where they usually put it - will appear first thing tm I guess

Any guess at the away figure? If it’s over 800 then I’ll be surprised - considering it’s almost impossible to get there by train from the south coast, and supporters coaches seem expensively priced

Amazingly unlike previously, the best (central) block is amongst those on sale first!

Isn’t that because they can more easily segregate the blocks in the corner for more home fans ?

Anyway, ticket purchased. Very few sold so far this morning

£16 for us oldies isn’t bad. It was £26 for the league match. That helps to mitigate the increase in the rail fare. I paid £83 return in the autumn but it’s £107 this time round (going Friday, coming back Monday).

Had a cursory glance at train options from Bristol - impossible to get to Newcastle in time for kick-off!! And even if I did an overnight stay, we're talking close to £200 return!!
