Randy Marsh Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 But in all seriousness as long as it doesn't result in a replay I'm not really bothered about this. Would rather progress in the JPT now tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 The odd thing is prior to the Cheltenham game in the Mickey Mouse cup I, and a handful of others, came on saying that we would rather City lost because the jpt is an embarrassment etc and has zero kudos amongst fans of bigger clubs. We were generally lambasted by many saying that every game City played in we should want them to win. However, on here, and other threads, I have been astonished to read of fans saying they want City to lose an FA Cup match , a tournament that has kudos and is the oldest and most prestigious national comp in world football, but want us to progress in the jpt! I hope we win on Saturday and I hope Gillingham take it seriously too and don't field a weakened side called Gllingham as the OP implies they will.

Robbored Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Whichever way you look at the FA cup the bottom line is that City ain't going to win it. The best the club can hope for is reaching the 3rd round and drawing a decent PL outfit preferably at AG. That way the club get a decent pay day, and more dosh of it goes to a replay. Plus the likihood of TV money. That's one reason why I'd like to see City progress past Gillingham on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For many seasons i've had about as much interest in the FA Cup as the contents of Lily Savage's underwear but did n't a team of chancers recently get all the way to the final having played all the rounds at home and never meeting a Prem club ? It could happen ,that's the beauty of football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cup, and invariably does - that's the beauty of it. 1973-74, Leeds home and away, then Liverpool at home, in the 5th and 6th rounds. 3 fantastic occasions, watched cumulatively by over 120,000 fans. Me being 3 of them, and I'll never forget those games. There's much more to the F.A. Cup than the possibility of making money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUMMAT OUTTA NOWT Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Such a shame really that we have only sold 79 tickets at a time when we sell thousands in the league most weeks. We are not going for probably the same reason as everyone else in its zero rating attraction. I wish city all the best of course but the lure of Rough Cider on tap at the annual Ferret Racing championships just has more pulling power.
