Here's to Ball 13

[pigin stripes]

So we are ball 6 in Sunday's FA Cup draw well I for one am hoping for ball 13 at home, could do with a good atmosphere boost, oh ball 13 is Palarse.........

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

any big ball away

Rather a big club at home it could be a helping hand to our lack of atmosphere

 

[Ex Shelton Seagull]

I've changed my mind over the cup draw. I was of the opinion that we'd get Swindon away but I now think we'll get one of the remaining non-league clubs. At home.

You can see it now. The manager & players of the brave, plucky non-league minnows who have battled through about 8 rounds or something and finally reached the big money stage.

Will it be Man United at Old Trafford? Arsenal? Chelsea? The sort of game that could secure their future, could allow them to build that new social club. What a day to remember, what glorious stereotypes to be played on! The amount of money that Van Nistelrooy gets a week is equivilant to their entires years wage bill.

The cameras are focused on their eager faces, bottles of champagne in hand. Out comes the first ball.

Number 6. That's Brighton & Hove Albion.

Will play...

Number 50. Yeading.

The looks on their faces! They'll probably resemble my face as a child on Christmas day when I didn't get what I'd hoped for. You're gutted but you have to look happy.

There'll be a crowd of around 6,000 at Withdean and they'll get beat 2-0.

Next round we draw Man United away.

 

[eagles #1]

Hopefully it'll be Palace vs Brighton. With Zamora getting a hattrick for the EAGLES!!

 

[Lammy]

I'd like to see Man Utd away. Simply because this draw would generate the most cash for us!

 

[Ding Dong !]

Not fussed at this stage. Asuming we win, then would like another home tie against one of the big guns.

If we drew Crawley at home, would we switch venues?

(No I have no idea if Crawley are still in the cup and can't be bothered to look.)

(No I have no idea if Crawley are still in the cup and can't be bothered to look.)

They're not so you can forget that. Why would we want to switch the tie to a smaller stadium in the first place though?

 

[Yoda]

If we can't have a BIG club away, I'd like a trip to Wrexham.

Hopefully they'd open all areas of the ground to let us all mingle.
