Says here just about 20,000 so we should get at least 3,000 tickets under fa cup rules. Lucky Saints get united though which would have been nice.

Only good news is you can do Watford on the train for £5 if you have 3 other friends.

Buses between Brighton and Three Bridges :angry:

Is the southern groupsave thing for £20 allowed on more than one train then, Ie allows a change.

Capacity is just shy of 20,000 so we should get 25% therefore 5,000

It is 15% but looking at their game with Hartlepool yesterday they only got 9,000 so we may get more. Not a dream game by any means but a decent local draw which is winnable so it could have been a lot worst. Orient got Swansea away which is a much worst draw!

Bad draw in my view - not easy to win it and not a big income or great day out.

Good draw. Another chance to prove ourselves against championship opposition.

I wonder how many of the 6,000 we took to villa in the 4th round last year will support the team at watford.

Should take the full allocation no problem as its dead easy to get to.

Well, at least it's somewhere we haven't been in a while. Difficult, though - they're a great side.

From our point of view its a tough game as you guys are flying and probably going to be a Championship side next season.

Sounds like you will bring a good number (be about 2,500 I think because one stand is closed)

Good luck before then!

Worst of both worlds - not a big team (big pay-out and chance - albeit a slim one - of glory) and not a minnow to knock over at home to progress to the next round. Very disappointing draw.

i like watford, they actually have level headed fans - and it will be a tricky game - wish we could bring more!

You're still top 6 though, do you think you'll play a full strength team?

17,500 capacity thought it was more than that? If we get 15% that's only 2,300 odd ... I can smell a massive flounce coming on

According to Wiki (!) the capacity is 19,920, so that's a max of 2988 if we get the full 15%. Shirley we can take that many up to beautiful Watford?

Edit: Apparently one stand's closed, so that'll be my effort totally f***ed than. :down:

As long as you pick up the Southern Service from Clapham and not the other one, then you will be fine.

Thanks. Just had a quick look, and by sticking to southern trains it takes about 2h30, so not too bad really, just annoying about the replacement buses.

Decent draw, not sure how Gus will go into this one.
