[chrisg]

Ultra posh spa town …. wonder if some pubs will shut for the day?

Leeds at home. Luckily for the residents of Harrogate

The Leeds United were drawn as the home side.

Ipswich also drawn to play at home - means that our game v Norwich, and Ipswich v Bristol Rovers can’t be played on the same day.

Not necessarily. They're paired for league fixtures so they're not at home on the same day but exceptions have been made for cup games. Especially ones which aren't going to attract massive crowds.

Typically six ties are chosen for live TV.

The eight in bold below are more likely to be selected than us, and several others have more of a story attached to them than Norwich v Brighton.

Leyton Orient v Derby County
Reading v Burnley
Aston Villa v West Ham
Norwich City v Brighton & Hove Albion
Manchester City v Salford

I relied on post #163 who screwed up .

Given they are 45 miles apart should be OK.

Ah memories.

Was in the South Stand for this one.

My first ever game, viewed from the East Terrace. I was down at the front, peering through the fence, and rapidly falling in love with the Albion as each minute ticked by.

 

[Berty23]

it seems like we always play champo away in round 3. I assume this is just me being wrong after Stoke twice.

Could be a good tie for me. My wife’s best mate at uni owns a pub and her husband and son are Norwich season ticket holders so I reckon a trip is on for me.

 

[Winker]

The last time I had a ticket for Norwich the game was cancelled for the covid lockdown. Hopefully more luck this time round!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Unless it's 15 points I'm watching on the box ......maybe

I'd be surprised if they picked Chelsea's reserves v Morecambe, regardless of the gap. If Morecambe were at home, yes, all day long. But they're probably going to get smashed 8-0 by Nkunku and Dewsbury-Hall while Cole Palmer puts his feet up.

I wonder about Everton v Peterborough, simply as Everton are so shit there's a chance of something amusing happening.

 

[Weststander]

15% of Carrow Road is 4,100.

Bearing in mind that we took 6,000 to Anfield Feb 2012 and 5,500 to Villa Jan 2010, how many will travel?

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Last time I went to Norwich Mr Carrow was in the ground. Long way to go for a abandonment.

 

[A1X]

Is it me or is “Coventry vs Sheffield Wednesday” the most standard FA Cup tie of all time? Like it’s the default setting of the cup.

London clubs biased media ….. they’ll pick the pointless to everyone else Spurs and Chelsea cricket scores.

Didn’t we take 4000 to Stoke last year? This one’s more appealing on many counts

3,000 would surprise me.

Highly doubt it with Ipswich at home too. Suspect Ipswich v Bristol Rovers to be the Saturday and we will play the Sunday

Looks like they were both at home on the opening day of the season. There is quite a distance between them and they have different constabularies.

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

Proper ground great away day will be there Saturday at 3

 

[Mullet of Ken Tiler]

Good one of the top 6 are already out. Got to start planning our run early! All we’ve got to do is beat Norwich to start with. How hard can that be?

Which one of Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Brighton, Man City and Forest are you writing off then?

 

[jrbha]

Even if we aren't on (UK) tv, we could still be playing away from Sat 3pm due to the FA Cup's overseas tv deal. Same reason why we played Bournemouth at 12:30 in 2019.

As usual, fans last. I'm sure the kids of Manilla, Singapore and San Diego will be desperate to see Grant Hanley trying to deal with Joshua Duffus.
