Away at Stoke

[The Ringleader Returns!]

Edit: My sarcasm isn't very good.

 

[Betfair Bozo]

Doesn't Naylor support these anti-football hoofists? Can at least give him some grief on his Q & A.

 

[HP Seagull]

Our first time in the fifth round in 25 years and only 1,500 can be arsed to turn up?

Exactly. We'll sell out - the fifth round of the FA Cup is a massive game for any League One club, will be a good test.

 

[Phoenix Arrow]

Its our Cup Final...... surely?..... chuckle,..... their board will be full of "we should be beating teams like Brighton",.... blah blah blah,..... and as for how many will go,.... 6500 to Villa last year,... 4k to Watford,... I doubt any more than 1500 will be interested in this game,.... at best...... unless they make it £10 a head or something.

Well, going to Villa is a good day out. It's still a shit place but the match was good value. Nice stadium too. Going to Stoke is just... I mean, I'll still try to get tickets even though the ticket ordering system is hellbent on no letting me go to games this season, but it's not the tie anyone wanted. A team that's probably going to beat us in the dullest way possible?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Shit draw. Shit city. Shit team. Just shit. Crawley would have been perfect thugs v thugs.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

There will be a binfest over tickets - the away end only holds 4,996!

 

[Superphil]

Don't worry, there willbe plenty of tickets available.

 

[El Presidente]

The team I want to see most of all in the fifth round is Brighton and Hove Albion, does anyone else feel like this?

 

[GT49er]

My reaction is similar to how I felt when we drew Watford in the last round..........shit! - no glory if we win, and a good chance of being knocked out.
Defending against set pieces isn't our strong point, is it? Oh dear..........is Delap anywhere near clocking up a suspension?

this, and the 6th round....come on get behind the lads, whoever the opponent!

 

[BeepBeepImaJeep]

Wow with the amount of people saying how shit stoke are and how awful they play I almost thought I was on a Barcelona board.... is this place like those types that say "Oh f*** I'd rather lose every game rather than play like Stoke. Premiership or not! Shit club!". f*** me I never knew everybody was so keen on League One.

 

[GT49er]

Oh well, Orient or Crawley at home in the sixth round, please!

 

[Questions]

It will be a good litmus test of our 'true' support. if we don't sell the full allocation it will indicate we are a bit two bob and just a bunch of gloryseekers. Let's face it, if we can take 3,600 against Watford, who are a division below Stoke, we ought to take more than that for a match against a Prem team...........unless the fanbase are too superior to attend.

Spot on. I thought the whole idea of getting promoted this season was to pit our wits against better teams in better stadiums. We are away to a premiership side and I`ll be interested in seeing how we fare.

People tchh.

Yep

Another landmark in a historic season for us, we can say we were there

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

They might make it £10 a head for their fans and still charge us £25...they have a track record in that department, don't forget!

This applies to League games , for FA Cup games both clubs decide on a price and if they cannot agree a decision is made by the FA. I reckon £18 a ticket.

 

[One Robbie Reinelt]

Sorry if fixtures, but has anyone mentioned that Stoke have Arsenal away on Tues 22nd Feb - might rest some of their better players against us 3 days before?

This is a game we can win. Christ, if Notts County can hold Man City then surely we've got a chance against a tem of hoofers like Stoke.

A point I would like to make, to some who say about glory hunting fans. Of which following club since late 70s I am not. Is that, we are just getting over the xmas bills. Deposits for Falmer and diret debits have been set up. It will be £70 min on fuel in a car and more like £ 70 on the train + the day itself. League games are coming thick and fast, which I feel are more important than Stoke... Yes ok if it was Arsenal/ Chelsea/ Man utd then I would find a way. I have been to Stoke several times and it is not a nice day out or experence, on a par with Cardiff. True its the 5th round etc etc and we have not been here for donkeys years. But in these times of money being very tight, i dont blame people for maybe giving this one a swerve. All that said I will probbley get tempted in two weeks time.

This game will show Gus how we match up to Premier League opposition
