[Albion] FA Cup third round draw - Norwich away

[Eeyore]

Leeds at home. Luckily for the residents of Harrogate

I rather suspect that many Leeds supporters actually come from Harrogate area.

I hope Shane Duffy plays

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.

Agreed it would be carnage. Judging by the segregation and riot police during Norwich's last clash with Ipswich, 45miles isnt enough...

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

How many went to Boro for the 5-1 win January 2023?

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

Spurs being away, understandably is a cert for TV. Chelsea hopefully isn’t.
We certainly wont be on.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

These are a good side.

Away crowd will depend on pricing and (sadly) points. I would expect 4100 to sell if it's £20 or less tbh.

 

[Deadly Danson]

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.

Was about to say the same. Regardless of UK TV the match could be played just about anytime Friday to Monday I think.

Do the wider public want to watch Spurs ease past minnows?

I prefer more evenly matched ties. Non contests are the football equivalent of flat track bullies.

£10 adults, £5 concessions.

I get that but Spurs are away and there is nothing the TV producers love more than the opportunity to contrast the luxurious facilities that Spurs are used to with the dressing rooms at Tamworth, which are doubtless tiny by comparison, with breezeblock walls and a strong smell of liniment.

Then some bloke who's been the groundsman at Tamworth for 50 years will be wheeled out to proclaim how he's been watering it solidly for weeks and hoping for heavy rain to even things up a bit.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I thought Ashley Barnes had retired last summer but it looks like he's still on the Norwich payroll too.

 

[portlock seagull]

Want to check they’ve paid the electric bill before I buy this time. Deja vu.

 

[studio150]

I'm going for us to be Saturday lunchtime, so that Ipswich can play at 3pm on the same day.

I must say, I was pleased to hear the host using the correct naming conventions in referring to Wayne Rooney's Plymouth and Frank Lampard's Coventry.

Half-and-half stand?

Yes it can - there’s 50 miles between the clubs

Go to Cambridge and change for a local service...

Drive job methinks.
