[Albion] Who do you want in the FA Cup fourth round?

[crodonilson]

Reaction on Wolves forum "boring" and "easily beatable"

It's got nothing to do with them, they're not going to be in the 4th Round?

 

[pb21]

I can’t imagine where you live that you could walk to Sheff U and Chesterfield. I could walk to Bramall Lane from Hunters Bar but no chance of getting to Chesterfield without a bus !

Well, when I say walk I more mean long walk, but doable, Massive would have been too far though!

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Anyone know if they’ve opened the east upper yet?

 

[zefarelly]

If you're going to the final you gotta beat Liverpool in the 4th round. Dems da rules

Dronfield?

 

[Perfidious Albion]

People talk as though we are going to win this. Come on, The draw says that that is that for another year.

​

• Preston North End v Tottenham
• Southampton v Blackpool
• Wrexham v Sheffield United
• Ipswich Town v Burnley
• Manchester United v Reading
• Luton or Wigan v Grimsby Town
• Derby County v West Ham United
• Stoke City v Aston Villa or Stevenage

• Bristol City or Swansea v Chesterfield or West Brom
• Brighton v Liverpool or Wolves
• Fulham v Sunderland
• Boreham Wood or Accrington Stanley v Cardiff or Leeds

Potential TV games you’d think?
Absolutely no-one wants to watch United v Reading, you’d imagine most United or Reading fans would be at the match but I seem to remember a stat where about 80 (?) of United’s FA Cup games in a row have been televised. It might even still be going … not sure.

Unlikely the game down here will be televised if Wolves. Or Accrington/Boreham Woods if Cardiff.

This was the tv schedule for last seasons round. Not sure on the order of tv picks but if it stays the same format would predict we play on the Sunday.


FRIDAY 4 FEBRUARY 2022
• Manchester United v Middlesbrough at 8pm GMT on ITV, ITV Hub, STV and UTV

SATURDAY 5 FEBRUARY 2022
• Kidderminster Harriers v West Ham United at 12.30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
• Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton & Hove Albion at 8pm on ITV4, ITV Hub, STV and UTV

SUNDAY 6 FEBRUARY 2022

Anyone got any guesses about what the club might charge for this one?

Purely a guess : £25

 

[Pevenseagull]

We're 6th favourites to win the thing.

 

[Rogero]

How much will the club make from a game like this ?

 

[Albion Robster]

Really depends on the opposition.
If Liverpool get through, then I’m sure they’ll be demand for tickets for this game. Can’t see tickets being any lower than £35 for this game.
If Wolves go through then it becomes rather more of an unattractive tie for the fair weather Albion fan. Possibly ticket prices closer to £25 I would predict. Even predict the West Upper tier wouldn’t open either.

Dronfield?

useless bit of info but i used to live in dronfield.

Don’t agree. £25 Liverpool £15 Wolves. £35 cheapest ticket for Liverpool would be ridiculous pricing. Doubt Liverpool would sell out at £25 even, let alone £35.

 

[BN41Albion]

To be honest I'm just buzzing for this game - big opposition, both beatable in current form, and we're at home

 

[hans kraay fan club]

If you're going to the final you gotta beat Liverpool in the 4th round. Dems da rules

Liverpool was the FIFTH round, wasn’t it?

3. Manchester City
4. Newcastle
5. Liverpool
6. Norwich
S. Wednesday
F. United

Indeed it was, however we beat Liverpool at home 2-0 in 1984 at this stage

 

[Right Back]

Newcastle was 3rd round, Man City 4th.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

We're 6th favourites to win the thing.

And if we get through this round I’d imagine we’d be 3rd or 4th favourites. Will be a great opportunity if we can get past Liverpool/Wolves…

 

[Sirnormangall]

How times have changed. Years ago I’d have been so excited about a home tie v Liverpool or Wolves, but instead I’m a bit disappointed that we’re not facing a trip to somewhere like Grimsby!
