All those teams at this stage will playing to win it now. If we progress any further, that would be amazing. I say, let's have a big game at the Gate and enjoy the day as well as the lift it will give to everyone at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I reckon drawing Arsenal at Ashton Gate would be the best draw. Genuine glamour tie but Arsenal have struggled in this years competition so we'd have a chance of a win. Selfishly though, I'd like one of the Manchester teams away as I could actually go to that mid week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that every time I went to Dean Court in the past I got soaked. Last time I went there I got very very drunk. It was a stag do and I'm sure we left at HT as we were 3-0 down. Can't be sure though. Great weekend tho (obvs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSSEL85 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Anyone at home, for a 2 reasons, 1) West Ham, Bournemouth and Leicester are beatable at home so a half decent chance at getting a semi! 2) Getting Man U, Man C, Arsenal or Chelsea will guarantee 27k and one of the best atmospheres at Ashton Gate for as long as I can remember.

If we play well- even if we lose- and fight for every ball, create a few chances then we could probably pick up a few new fans. If we won we almost definitely would. If we're crap and roll over then they will be exactly as you describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin101 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Remember that the QFs are right in the middle of the busy Christmas period. If we were to draw West Ham or Bournemouth or even Leicester and they happened to be struggling in the league by Christmas would they really focus their attentions on the League Cup? I think they'd fancy themselves to beat us even if they did make 6 or 7 changes. Especially if they were at home. And if we can beat changed Watford, Stoke, and Palace sides I fancy we could upset a changed West Ham, Bournemouth, or Leicester side. I don't think there is a bad draw to be had necessarily.

Whilst I completely agree, that's the same for any club below the Premier League. I would say all grounds from the Championship to League 2 would sell out if any of the big boys came to town. We got 22-24k in our last two home games so an extra 4-5000 people added to our attendance can only help the revenue for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SARJ Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I have a theory that later stages of the cup draw is always fixed for Sky. Call me bonkers, but I predict a Manchester derby and Chelsea v Arsenal. Both of these games would be televised. The winners of these respective games would more than likely win the semis, so set up a nice big name glamour tie final at Wembley, of which Sky will also prospser from televising.

Such a shame because really, Man City have always been a proper football club. Maine Road was a brilliant ground and they've had a fair few barren years. Since the new money has come in, inevitably things have changed. Bet there are a few Man City fans who don't enjoy it as much now.. Such a great old ground though - one of my favourites. Reminds me a bit of the new AG redevelopment. Would be very similar design and size at 35,000 if/when the Atyeo gets redeveloped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSEL85 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I always liked Maine Road, they got some decent crowds when they got relegated to the old Division 2 (30k), as I remember we were a league above them at that point, that soon changed!

So many grounds of prem clubs in the 90s that are now no more were so much more aesthetically pleasing. Filbert Street, Maine Road, Highbury, Ninian Park ... luckily Hillsborough and Ibrox are still intact. The redevelopment of Anfield has kept the traditional look pretty well too.
