I was trying to be a clever dick with my reply by making out people were commenting on the Hampton in Southampton rather than the obvious c word in Scunthorpe, but obviously failed miserably. In which case '*****' would be the swear word, not 'Hampton'. Far too complicated, forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonsRed Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I've been to Stamford Bridge. It's a bit of a dump. I'd much rather have a good chance of progressing to the third round and possibly getting a big home tie... Not sure what the fantasy is of going to these 'big' prem clubs... Especially ones as shit as Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Love a London away trip, especially when it's not freezing cold winter time. Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 A part of me would prefer Scunthorpe as its a better chance of progressing. On the other hand Chelsea away is our first big cup draw in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin101 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'm on holiday for the game and would be absolutely gutted to miss Chelsea away. So there's a part of me that wouldn't be too disappointed to get Scunthorpe but for the sake of everyone else hope Rovers lose tonight ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 As stated Scunthorpe gives City a better chance of progressing in the competition. A few years ago City had a cup replay with Watford(?) knowing the winners would be away to Man C. Many Rovers fans said they hoped City would beat Watford so that the gasheads could then delight in City losing seven or eight nil at the Etihad. Combining gashead logic with schadenfreude; here's hoping Rovers beat Cardiff. Then City can restore Bristol's honour in North Lincolnshire whilst Rovers ship seven or eight at a Premiership ground.

Silvio Dante Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I just said on the Chelsea forums thread that IMO, the only reason to want Scunthorpe over Chelsea is that otherwise you have 4 very tough games in 11 days, where you have to play your best team. Playing Chelsea may effect our chances of getting a decent result V Villa, so if playing Scunthorpe allows rotation and a better chance against AV, get that argument. But in no way is Scunthorpe a gimme game, or a guarantee if we win of a better game in R3 than Chelsea away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I couldn't care less about Chelsea to be honest , can't stand them . Plastic fan base . If we'd drawn Everton or Liverpool id be there but not that lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in no way is Scunthorpe a gimme game, or a guarantee if we win of a better game in R3 than Chelsea away! There is a lot to be said for the logic, however its really about the players. If anyone thinks a single player in our squad from U11's upward would rather have a team travel to god forsaken Lincolnshire as opposed to a trip to Chelsea we are all dreaming. SL has invested millions for the occasional night like this and he deserves to land his helicopter next to Abramovich. The players will be up for it and a good display will help keep the adrenaline moving! For me Chelsea away. FYI I was at the game the last time we lost there in 77 (and all the games since according to the stats I read the other day)....We as supporters deserve this crack, embrace it if it happens...Our squad will!....This does of course mean I have to cheer for Cardiff, but I don't like the alternative much...:laugh:!

Big C Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Seeing as we've lost to Luton, Oxford, Gillingham, Swindon, Southend, Carlisle, Crewe, Cheltenham and Barnet in the last 10 years or so of this tournament I'm not sure I fancy our chances going to Scunthorpe. At least we get a bit of money out of a Chelsea trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between heaven and hell Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I agree with the original post, stuffed in the middle of Newcastle and Villa it has taken the shine off Stamford bridge for me. Anyway this is Bristol City we are talking about so we all know what will happen tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'd prefer a cup run which favours Scunny, but given we can't influence the situation it really is che sera sera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I prefer to play Scunny. I haven't been to Stamford Bridge since my only visit in 1963 or 64 to see Chelsea v Liverpool. It was a rambling old ground then like many so might go just to see it now. But really worry about a hammering there plus maybe some injuries that could interfere with the main focus this season.
