WMbcfc Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 What does everyone think of this draw then? and who's going? i personally think this is a really good draw and will probably be making the journey up there. i hope we take a good few fans as it will be good laugh to generate a positive atmosphere at a small ground and hopefully see our team into the third round. we musnt underestimate Tamworth however. they will be very much up for it. Swindon probably underestimated Macclesfield and look what happened to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kaiser Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I will think about it. I did think I wouldn't attend FA Cup games but there is something in going to a little ground and the experience etc. Every neutral will want us to lose too.

Cambridge Batch Red Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 It's a very small ground with lots of terracing behind the goals. One narrow covered end and a slightly larger open end. Should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMbcfc Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Apparently we are likely to to get allocated the terrace behind the goal which can house up to 850 fans. I hope we make a decent effort of filling this allocation as Tamworth are likely to sell out the ground so if we take a good few the atmosphere should be great.

seebokseduction Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I went there a few seasons ago to see Forest Green stay up by goal difference on the final day. The away fans were housed at the far end of that photo, where there is about 5 steps of terrace all the way along, with the central bit under cover. This looks like a great away terrace, hopefully it will be full of City and not piss it down! I definitely want to make the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sglosbcfc Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 http://www.tamworthfans.co.uk/default.aspx?g=posts&t=10516 They think they can do us, the most positive BCFC comment is that 'Bristol are a biggish club'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 The excellent Julian Cope grew up in Tamworth and if you read either of his autobiographical books you'll see he describes the place as "classically ugly" and "a bit of a pig to look at" and portrays it as basically full of retards. Tamworth is also famous for making Britain's most laughable car, the Reliant Robin, and being the birthplace of the poundstretcher Bruce Dickinson, Blaze Bayley.... I've never been there, but I have stopped at Tamworth Services on the M42 and once had to take back a bacon roll there as the staff had forgotten to cook the bacon.

chalky Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Probably the best draw for me this - Salisbury away may have been marginally better. As stated on another post Tamworth only had an attendance of 2 or 3 thousand when Norwich played there. So if that's the case surely they will give us as many as we can sell? Expect we'd take around 1,500-2,000 depending on whether it's televised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 T I've never been there, but I have stopped at Tamworth Services on the M42 and once had to take back a bacon roll there as the staff had forgotten to cook the bacon. I remember making an emergency pit stop there from an away game, one of the ladys in our car had an "upset tummy" due to a dodgy pie at the game. she sort of made it in time, but came away minus undergarment ! Thought I'd share my only memory of Tamworth. Having said that, I remember waiting on Tamworth High Level station for an hour at about six in the morning coming back from "that" Liverpool game !

I know it's only the 2nd round but it's just off the motorway and should be able to get there in about 90 mins if the traffic is OK. Only shorter trip than this would be Brentford or Walsall I would guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
