42nite Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Would've loved the mighty Sags at home. Even taking into account the soiling of our stadium. (It could've been fumigated afterwards) Ah well, move on. No 9 Bristol City v No 55 Barrow Will do nicely please. With a nice welcome thrown in for the Barrow Boys. Show them what Bristol is really like. But taking nothing forgranted football wise! Happy days indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about the hull game. But it wasn't an exciting draw for me . I'm on about Liverpool Man U Spurs .

RedM Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Every draw we are a nailed on certain for Hull, Gillingham or Brentford it seems ( not sure about Brentford to be honest but it's them or someone beginning with B we get quite a lot, maybe Barnet) Please, please FA Cup gods look down on us favourably, a big Prem team away will be good ( I know they all play their 2nd teams but I'd go to see their ground) A while back I went to look and see where Upton Park/Bolyn Ground was in London, seen them play City there once probably 25 years ago but couldn't remember and it was a night match and a bit edgy so didn't look around at the time. Anyway, a couple of weeks after my recent visit we got them in the Cup didn't we. Well I was at their new home at the Olympic Park last Friday so maybe a visit to them, and it will be very win-able too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 As with every cup draw I want a crap team at home for the best chance of progression. A 'big' away day would be nice but I want us to be 'that' team that has a great run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhombrecito Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Never understood people wanting a Premier League club away. The chances are that we'll lose, so it can only be that people want a nice "day out" at a PL ground. Surely we should aspire to more than just having a jolly good day trip? That's the sort of thinking I'd expect from the 15ers. Let's hope for a home tie against the lowest ranked team in the competition. Let's try and win the bloody thing.

Marlborough Red Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Arsenal at home my preference- Love to see 27,000 pack the gate . 2nd choice non league team home or away to get us into the 4th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 It`s always someone you`re sick of the sight of so Ipswich or Reading. We`ll play them three times in a month if it`s one of them. Edit. and you know the first match will be a draw so four times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been following City for 30 years and in that time only game we've had away to one of the big teams was Liverpool, and I was too young to go. I would relish the opportunity to see our team up against a United or Arsenal, playing in a huge and iconic ground, with the outside chance of an upset. It's about experiences and that would be a new and novel one. What's hard to understand about the appeal of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I'd love City to get a big team at home, spring an upset, go on a run and end up at a London Prem team in the quarters. For this round let's go for a team who are struggling - Crystal Palace (although with our luck they'll sack the Pardinator, hire a decent manager and suddenly get good again.

For me, because I no longer live in Bristol. I'm selfish and lazy I guess. I want to be able to see City and only have to travel for 20 minutes, just like many of my Bristol resident fellow fans get to do every fortnight.
