If that makes me a moaner then I'll embrace that new title! Yo yo Premiership side that we've played several times over recent years. League is absolute priority this season so won't be too worried about an early cup exit though. I don't buy the 'cup is a good break from the league' argument.

So ardent, he hasn't seen them play live since 1962. I can beat that. I know fanatical Man Utd supporters that have never seen them play live.

TwoSheds Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Not a bad draw easy to get to 90 miles up the M5. If I remember the 15ers were spanked by West Brom FA cup in 2008 1 -5 at home, two former City players on that day Steve Philips and Danny Coles. Wife said is the telly on the blink what's wrong with the colours I said no Rovers always play on a dark brown pitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll get 5k worth of tickets, it's an hours drive and a Saturday away from the league. If we win we can shove two fingers to pulls and maybe give us the boost we need in the league. Im sure none of us would sing anything nasty about our Triffic Tone We may get 5k of tickets, but our friends in the WMP will turn 2000 of them back at the Junction of the M5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several times in the last years? My memory is not so good these days, no really, when was the last time we played them and how many times in the past five years in the league or cup? the cup is a revenue earner and improves profile if we are looking for players only a fool would say the league is not more important!

Am not going to respond with any hard facts (that would be boring and would also take me time to research!). I definitely remember at least a season with them in the Championship during our last stint (I was sat in the away end of the Hawthornes in pooring rain and the wrong end of a 4-0 scoreline!).

Offside Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I'm a little bit underwhelmed by this draw because I was hoping to be able to see City play somewhere we haven't been for decades (e.g. Goodison, White Hart Lane, Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford). Still, it could be worse - at least we haven't been knocked out by Chesham! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what counts as not that many, however a couple of w ins between now then would help swell the red hoards. Or perhaps im just dreaming/crack addict!
