gibbos clan Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 What time is the draw??? And for this cup run to be worth it if say we need Man Utd arsenal Man City or chelsea in the next round if we get through that is but most probably get a mouth watering tie away to sheff utd etc :laugh: fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBrizzleRobin Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Sorry, an away game against a top prem side where its most likely we'll be beat 3 or 4 nil really doesn't do it for me, its all to predictable what will happen. I'd rather draw them at home where we'd atleast have a chance of causing an upset. I'd like to be able to say we beat Manchester United or we beat Liverpool not we got mauled 3-0.

Manon Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Surely surely surely we will land a biggie if we get through... It's a shame the draw is tonight in a way, as I'm sure a potential big draw will make the replay a bit harder than it might have been. Yes, it will motivate us too, but donny will be more up for a battle whereas I could have seen them rolling over a bit easier at AG if there was no visible grand prize.

RedHeadTillIDie Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 If we get a big draw tonight it will give us the motivation to go and win the replay! Plus we are home which will boost are confidence and we beat them 3-0 home in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBrizzleRobin Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 we need to beat doncaster first Ofcourse but as fans we like to speculate, plus the draw could have a big bearing on the importance of our replay and give us something ot play for. So can we not say who we'd like the chance of playing against? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunnie123 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 With a reduced capacity at our place, could quite possibly be able to get more tickets for city fans if we got arsenal or United away then we would If we got them at home?

Phileas Fogg Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Point taken, I'd love to repeat that feat though but it would be also nice to beat them on the hallowed turf of Ashton Gate. Not with reduced capacity, especially as we have to give them a higher ticket %. I would rather play them away as everyone that wants to go could go, we'd get a bigger allocation (around 6k?) if we somehow sold that out any other fans could probably get a ticket in the home end. Also no bandwagon jumpers who've never been to a City game in their lives would be able to get tickets, saw so much of this on Facebook yesterday, United fans from Somerset in the Yeovil end, really frustrating.

Away capacity for all games at Ashton Gate this season is capped at about 1100 as we got special dispensation from the FA and Football League. This means not much over 10k home fans once reduced capacity (even lower once the Lower Dolman goes), away fans and segregation is taken into account. Aside from this, I think clubs normally have to give 15% to the away fans, therefore if we played a club with a big ground (Arsenal, Man Utd, Newcastle etc) we would probably get an allocation big enough for all season ticket holders.

Ah didn't know that about our capacity - makes sense. 15% should be fine if we got through and got a good tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Big Premier team away. Or Cambridge at home. Likely end up a League One team away; would say Gillingham if we'd not already knocked them out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHeadTillIDie Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Would be decent to have home to Cambridge. Will give us a better chance to get further in the competition, but we we'll get a crap team like away to Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted January 5, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Went to Aston Villa yesterday, they were absolutely awful.
