[Albion] FA Cup fifth round - who do you want?

45 minutes away for me, though always very cold

15% of a 30k stadium, 4,500.

We very rarely go to away games, would we have any chance of tickets?

Anyone who wants a ticket will get one. I’d be stunned if we sold 3k let alone 4.5k.

Is their pitch more Boro or Charlton?

100% will get tickets. No way we’ll take anywhere near that midweek. If we take 1500 to 2000 we’d have done well surely.

If Newcastle make it to final we will have a rest before the game too

Andy Naylor's Stoke v Andy Naylor's Brighton.

No glamour apparently and this view

“Literally the worst draw we could get.

Boring opposition.
At home.
We’ll lose.

Triffic.”

Boring, not sure anyone’s told him yet

Come on, if you supported any other club you’d be utterly gutted drawing Brighton in the cup. We are possibly the ultimate ‘meh’ club for just about the entire football pyramid, with the added kicker that you’ll probably lose to us.

Surprised so many complaining - missed all the Prem teams and we are decent away. I was literally shouting 14 when that come out as fancied that. Stoke aren’t pulling up trees either. Yes, a bitch to get to midweek but decent enough draw considering and chance to get through. Shame Spurs and the Manc clubs missed eachother

We haven’t won at Stoke since 1961. They’re a bogey team.

Just looking at the poll and thinking to myself it's funny because for most of my life i would have wanted the Man U, Liverpool, Spurs... now i am looking at that list and wanting this shittest team... crazy how things have turned around.

We don't need the big team for the gate money.... we want the smaller team to make our run to WINNING THE DAM THING EASIER

 

[Guinness Boy]

I vaguely remember @attila turning “on our way” to “Stoke away” when we got promoted. Well, here we are again, only this time it’s us that’s the favourite.

I think you're missing the point a bit - or maybe I am - I suspect Stoke have played you relatively recently and teams in the championship etc are only going to get properly excited playing one of the 'big' 6/7. I'm about to watch us play West Ham, it will be far from full despite us averaging 27k + (bums on seats!) this season, West Ham don't have that pull that, say, Chelsea do. As someone may say, it is what it is....

 

[ROBS BROTHER]

Away to Stoke

What's the joke. Can you play on a dark winters midweek night in Stoke ? I bloody well hope we can

Never understood those stats personally. What’s happened with completely different sets of players will have no bearing on RDZ’s Albion side. Cue us losing 3-0 now I’ve said this

Purchase history I would guess

Selfishly wanted a home match so could go watch as no chance of attending a midweek away.

Until MOTD gives us the validation we obviously all need this will always be a losing battle I fear

Appreciate the lack of pull but
Boring - was the point I was focusing on

We have a good record for beating Wolves, never beat Fulham in the PL at CC, nearly always knock Liverpool out of the cup etc
It’s a quirk of football that there are bogey places and teams.
