Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Was just thinking I assume they will still be restricted to 1100, even if we do not sell out, or is it different rules in the FAC? We can limit them to 1100 if we wish, however, I expect the club will look at it and decide whether it makes financial sense to do so. For example they may decide to only open the Dolman and Williams to home fans and give the away fans the whole of the Atyeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Red Hat Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Indeed, was being kind.Seems a shame to restrict them, as i know some of these teams can conjur up decent away followings for games of this sort - no idea about these two. Indeed. Give 'em the whole of the East End I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them the whole of the Atyeo and make it a tenner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Even if we don't sell out? I'd be amazed at a crowd of over 8000. Live draw for the third round (umm presuming of course) will attract bigger crowd than the 2nd round game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Good draw, should progress and we can rest half the team again. The way our luck's going this season I've already convinced myself we'll get a big Prem club in the 3rd round...Quite. A non-league side at home. Steve's lucky magpies seem to be smiling on us. How about Chelsea at home in the third round to end their unbeaten run and maintain our particular brand of unbeaten run (league, FA Cup and JPT) and, and..... I can't think of words that would do that potential scenario justice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 It's probably 11-0 v Chichester Town It is. I was there. Five for John Atyeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miah Dennehy Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 D'you think the slags will give us the lowdown on their non-league rivals?

22A Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I watched the draw with friends & neighbours here in PE2. When Colchester came out I groaned fearing the worst, then laughed out loud when Posh followed them out of "the hat". I groaned again at Hartlepool and MK, but as the balls decreased and finally 18 was drawn, I looked at the other three and thought "10 please". Home to Basingstoke / Telford? I can live with that. One of my P'boro' mates said; "Bristol City always get a non league team. Harrogate one year, a 7-0 against some Essex outfit the following year; it's not fair" I merely pointed out "It's the luck of the draw and helps make the magic of the FA Cup. Oh, err, enjoy your trip to Colchester". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalist Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Surely we can give them more than that! Maybe not. Basingstoke had 1251 for the first game, and their highest league gate was 818. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatalist Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 D'you think the slags will give us the lowdown on their non-league rivals? If its Basingstoke, look out for Julian Owusu, who has played for Chelsea. That's Berekum Chelsea in the Ghana Premier League! They also have James Harper with loads of League experience, even though he looks about 50 on their web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Looking at the ties, that's got to be one the TV execs are looking at.

OldlandReddies Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Sure to be one of the TV games. Top side in the draw at home versus minnows, what more could you want from an FA Cup tie. Brilliant draw for all concerned. They get a big pay day and we get more coverage plus TV dosh....lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
