[Albion] FA Cup draw round 3 - home v Palace

[redoubtable seagull]

Scuppers any thoughts CH had of playing a second string team.
Just not acceptable.

Hopefully have a new striker available

I’d be amazed if CH put out the first team for this - likewise I doubt Palace will field a strong team either. Both have too much at stake in staying up.

It had better be on TV.

Reckon Man Ure v Derby a cert over us though

Suggest you take up lawn bowls, there I'm considerate enough to suggest that for you x

Take up lawn bowls? What on earth? I just want to watch a football match, perhaps you are looking for something more?

I used to play bowls. What's wrong with bowls?

Hoddle and Jenas should be made to sit between the opposing fans for drawing that

I bet Barber is annoyed. All that extra cash generated from the cup game will be spent on extra stewards, police and a chartered train or two.

 

[Roadrunner]

Are people seriously suggesting that this should be played behind closed doors or with ‘bubble’ restrictions because of the inability, last week, of the police/stewards to contain a few dozen, easily identifiable troublemakers? Ridiculous over-reaction.

I'm filling my PANTS with BANGERS and let them all OFF, that will teach Palace

Normal day for you then?

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

1,500 this time. And a bubble.

I believe the FA insist on larger allocations for away fans in FA cup ties. Does anyone imagine they will realise that this is a special case and make an exception?

 

[darkwolf666]

We have to give them 15% in the cup.

What, even if the police say it isn't safe to do so?

For me, I would ban the away fans, and expect them to do the same when we play at their place - would make things a littler simpler, though I am sure there would still be some that would go irrespective of not having tickets.

Balls....I really wanted a decent away game. Not too far, the Midlands or Bristol would have done. Palace at home just doesn't do it for me

Won't need a special train if it's a bubble.

If the league positions are the same come January, surely palace will have to go second string. Whatever the positions are it is unthinkable to play our second string.
Can't wait. 12am Sunday is my prediction.

There is no way he will put out a full strength side (unless we win the seven games between now and then).

I think you will find the police have authority over the fa..

I'll guard the murel overnight for the Albion.

This draw is FIXED for TV/revenue. At least 3 derbies already.

And Manchester United have a Derby.

Does he want a bigger problem then?

What do you mean?

 

[tigertim68]

Are the police allowed to reduce the allocation?

Yep the police can , and I am sure it will be reduced to 2000 away tickets on police advice

Are you saying we should take no fans for the League game? Poppycock.

They had 2,000 at our place, would not be fair.
