Good draw for me, I know people always want premier league clubs but that tie is better than getting a championship side, very winnable and more chances of us progressing which means $$, would have been better to be at home but hey ho.

Must admit my first reaction was less than thrilled but i agree tons better than having another championship side and would be great atmosphere if it ended up being Plymouth.

The Paddington line looks a bit messy that day. The Waterloo route to Exeter seems to be OK. The good thing with Plymouth is that you can do 4 for 2 tickets on the day. For Vale it will be a scramble for what cheap tickets are available or expensive on the day tickets.

I thought the same, but this message is on the National Rail website -

Groupsave is not permittedon journeys to stations between St James Park and Exmouth until 15:00 on Saturday 25 January because of the Exeter Chiefs v Ospreys match

Not sure how this would effect the 4for2?

A 0-0 draw at Highfield Road.

A good day out.

I can't remember the one I went too now. The last time we played at Highfield Road when Mr Virgo scored for us?

Would not affect it at all. Different branch line.

Winnable if OG takes it seriously.

Momentum is very important and keeping a winning mentality is vital for morale at the club. I fully expect to take 3 points from either of these sides

A big draw after this round will also go a long towards helping in the FFP rules too.

Squeezed in between Derby & Burnley away. Weakened team for the cup game??

Yesterday's team ought to suffice.

Hope it's Plymouth, always good for a weekender. Stoke is a shithole.

Good stuff, cheers.

Plymouth is not great, granted better than Stoke, but that car park and park around the stadium always use to be fun and games.

The cider place on the Barbican is OK as was the St James Vaults, but nether a place to get excited about.

I was thinking more surrounding area for a weekender, but yeah, Plymouth itself isn't great.

regarding if its away at Plymouth. A good mate of mine from Uni whos a massive plymouth fan has just come back from 3 years working overseas and it will be his first Plymouth game in that time, would i get a kicking if i went in the home end?
Or is it a genuine friendship between the club and fans?

I'm pretty sure some people on here think Port Vale is on the Welsh coast

 

[El Presidente]

Four away games on the trot, Derby, Burnley, Cup, Watford.......eek

 

[brightonmark1234]

[LamieRobertson]

hoping its Plymouth as looking at a short break in Devon/Cornwall

If it id Port Vale at least 3 of them do not involve large amounts of travel for you.

Yup, but would prefer Plymouth as a new ground for me.

If it's Plymouth, Barnes would love to score and celebrate, upsetting the Guzz fans.
