I think that it is quite good draw for us certainly winnable and a chance for the club to open all of the stadium and set the price at about £20 and not lose much. With Palace at home to Tottenham, Portsmouth at home to QPR and us at home 1 of the kick offs or day will be changed.

Home draw, lower league opponents, potential pantomime villain for entertainment.......great stuff. Come on Mr Barber, price this for a sellout and come on Mr Hughton, let’s have a proper go at this.

Exactly right. We are NOT going to get relegated this season, and in these PL seasons where we're realistically safe we should be looking to win the FA Cup

I really don't understand the people who say they aren't interested. Is survive, survive, survive and sod everything else really the limit of some peoples' ambitions?

Surely this is the perfect opportunity to get a singing section next to the away fans. Should've had one for the League Cup game against Southampton, but we didn't and could hardly hear the North Stand singers in the northern part of the West Stand.

As much as I love the North Stand, I really miss being in a section that has a bit of banter with the away fans. It's the one thing that's really missing for me at The Amex.

Could be just me though and no one else gives a shit.

They would soon be interested if we got to the semi or final. Hypocrites

Why on earth would that be a problem?

It's like Leeds at home with Manchester United and Hull City also hosting fairly big ties. Not a problem as they're both 40 miles west and east. Safe enough distance.

Because those that run footbal in this country ie TV & The Police will decide one should as one will possibly be on TV and the police will be pushed to man the other 2., especially Met.

Even though this weekend Brighton, Palace and Portsmouth are all playing at home on a Saturday at 3pm.. they don’t seem to be struggling to police them this weekend

£20 per ticket. Fiver for kids. Free travel. Market it around town like crazy, (billboards, radio ad's etc). Tell WBA they can have as many tickets as they want.

Yes, we'll lose money on the gate, but we'll get loads of people coming for the first time buying a ton of merch and some of those will want to come back
