Home to Morecambe

Should win that one.

Arsenal away round 3 please!  :soapy tit wank:

Morecambe squad.

Happy with that one, should win that.

Man Utd or Chelski in the third round please  8)

I've got that dreading 'stevenage' match in my mind...  :|

Lets hope we be professional and see them off.

I wouldnt have minded morecambe away but meh, Atleast we may actually get to the third round!

Just checked their squad. They got Ged Brannan, I remember him from his Tranmere days in the early 90's.

See Salisbury got Forest. Class draw for them

mmmmmm if I am ill again and don't go, we might win  :D

Shame it's not at morecombe, we could go cockle picking  :|

 Why do you think we should win that.....Morecambe are only a league below us, and have an impressive away record.....its a game we can win, but we've seen too many of these in recent seasons to know we're just as likely to fuck up as win.

 I was hoping for Basingstoke.....then not letting Stroud and Wells play.

Morcambe are 8th in the conference!

Thanks for that, Gazza!

got it from wikipedia... I thought the hotel part was the most informative part!

Hence I said 'should' instead of 'will'

The tabloid headline writers will be rueing the departure of Denis Wise!

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

 Historically we lose to a non league side once a decade....there's only 3 seasons left after this one.

its 209 miles from morecombe to swindon, the exact same distance from my house to mansfield, and if i can do that........

If you've posted funnier I want to see it. Brilliant

They seem a bit over-confident to me.

I love how they say they are going to get a decent pay day from us, as if to say we are a huge club! ah well let them enjoy their cup final!

Morecambe has a lot of young players....I think it will be though game....'The young wolves' will to show their skills against the rivals from higher division...but well...you're team is more experienced and should win . The early goal , you are in on 99 %

 Bartek, me old mate,  I know you've only been a Swindon fan for 3 days, but you will soon learn that the world is not as it seems with STFC.....think Alice in Wonderland.

  Do you still get wild wolves in Polska.....how about bears?

   Could you set up a camera near a pond somewhere for us?

'young wolves' mean the young players who want to kick ass some older one  8) and more famous....
And I know there is no such a big diffrence between Swindon and the teams from lower divisions...It's England ! When you are weak in the Championship , you will be weak in division 1 and so on....

We prolly are one of the better pay-days in the lower leagues. Going to be 5,000 + and another £15/£16 a ticket. Only City and few others will come close.

They have a drummer by the sounds of it  :(

:D Brilliant adje, simply brilliant! :D

Hope ya win!  We want ya at home in the 3rd round!

Let Sturrock come back to a heros welcome, and then no doubt beat us soapy tit wank

Happy with the draw, it gives us a great chance of being in round 3 but as stated is clearly not a forgone conclusion.

arsenal away in round 3 would be lovely

I reckon we wont get 5,000 for this match, although i will likely be wrong.

We should win but lets not write off Morcambe's hopes especially after the Stevenage Cup game a number of years back.

what a crap draw. at least we will actually get to the 3rd Round for once though

ssssshhh you Bastards are going to jinx us.  :?

we wont lose. if we do then the players we have are a joke

That bear  surrogate  proggy on the tele the other night was ace Reg. Did you see it? I was moved.
Millom

If we get man u/arsenal/ chelsea in 3rd round, do yout hink we'll get televised?  Might be a hope of getting to see a game from here  :D

Leeds at home in the 3rd Round ;)

I want Leeds in the 3rd round too.

Wipe that smile of that little cunt Wise's face.

Watched them on FL review last night and they don't look a bad side at all tbh, sorry to burst everyones bubble but Wise will turn them around. They've got 2 good finishers and players that can actually cross the ball. I'd rather not lose to Wise tbh!

I was in the pub trying to find out who'd we got becauase they wouldn't change over from the arsenal liverpool game. I rang sonic and the cunt wouldn't answer his phone.

What a cunt.

Going to be a tough game ... they have nothing to lose .. and I wouldnt expect our crowd to be too high .. especially with a game the previous Sat .. maybe we should reduce prices further to about £13 for Nationwide .. £10 for town end .. and kids a quid??

I don't want chelsea Away cos it would cost £99 a ticket.  :|

be nice to get a premiership team away if we make it .. or Leeds at home :)

We were saying after the match "Morecambe please" but we forgot to specify an away match (now live in Lancaster). We also asked for Carlisle vs Swindon in round one.

Someone 'up there' must be listening  :shock:

Can I have the Euro-Millions numbers for next Friday night please God?

sorry ben i was working...or at least trying to.

Wednesday at home in the 3rd round could be good.

They'd bring about 3000 fans just to see Luggy.

i dont want Leeds. i dont give a shit about them anymore. who cares? whats done is done. Plymouth or Wednesday would be good like Ralph says or a Premiership team.

I speaking to a mate of mine in town today and he said he wanted Man U away. A trip to Old Trafford or Ashburton grove would be brilliant.

yeah wouldn't mind that tbh. i remember us missing out on a trip to higbury that dreaded year when the scum beat us

Have the club been nicking my ideas ? Wish id said £10 for Nationwide now !  :P

They had to really or no bugger would turn up. Also, I've already read a comment somewhere by a Morecambe fan moaning of the ticket prices.

Sensible move STFC.

Just to let you know, assuming we progress.  But unless we get a big Prem club it really isn't going to be a sell out is it?

This moaning about the ticket prices by away fans is begining to piss me off.  Bad press for the club.  I had to convince some bloke up the pub that it didn't cost £25 to watch town each match.  It's like chinese whispers.

What if you have a season ticket? Does that count as a Bury ticket stub?

Season tickets holders get first option on all cup games as far as I know...

EDIT - somehow this got lost - Nice to know we get something for buying season tickets ..

What was the point of that post?

He's following me. I'm scared

something the club needs to address i think, better publicising of the prices so people don't assume it's ridiculously expensive. it's far from cheap but i'm sure the bloke you're referring to isn't alone in thinking it's silly money.

I also think they need to address the issuing of tickets for a potential third round tie on two match's stubs.  I'm missing bury, and missed the first few weeks of the season when I was abroad, but I've been to near enough every game since being home except Saturday and Bury, yet could miss out on tickets to a massive tie, I suspect I could still get tickets, but away match tickets for a tie or replay could be harder to come by!

Surely it works by how many stubs you've got, not which games you've been to?

If I remember rightly, for the play-offs the priority was :

1. Season ticket holders
2. People with 6 stubs
3. People with 3 stubs
4 General public

would like to see a big team away in the 3rd round, seeing as we are not going to win it realistically it would be good to cause a few upsets

I would like to get in the 3rd round first!

 :shock:

Home surely !!!!!!!!!

wouldnt away be better, being able to go to a half decent ground? apart from our fortress of course

And there's me thinking we hadn't played the Morecambe game yet!

How many did we win by?

We won 23 nil. Roberts scored 20 of them but sonic youth still thought he was lazy

Now I know you're lying Si.

Who the fuck have we got to score the other three?

3 own goals

haha yes, as much as roberts is good he is still a bit of a lazy f**k*r

We better beat them cockle pickers i have Town in my accumulator.

SN4

i think we will. a good 3rd round tie as a reward too hopefully

im not going, i dont want to jinx it, ok  i lied, i cant go, im working.

just curious...how much does the ticket cost on this game ?

£14 ish I think are you coming over?

Only cost me a £10 in the town end.

yes but the TE sucks on must ocasions

TBH it did on Saturday.

It was a bit quiet(sp) but after all the spewed bollax what did you expect?

Millom

eh?

The board room crap.

Millom

Let's see 10 Ł = something about 70 zloty...
cost of flight - 200 zloty(at least)
coming back - 200 zloty (at least)
the room for night - ?
Guys I would be ruined !!!  :-))(  :twisted: Maybe when I open my own bussiness I will be able to be on every Swindon game...Better !!! I will be new Abramowicz and I don't forget about Swindon  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

You can stay at ours :D
