I'm going for Chelsea or Arsenal away on the basis we'd make loads of money and I've not been to either ground

a big away game for the money, so the board can piss that against the wall aswell.

there was supposed to be another option for "local rival" but I forgot to add it. :oops:

Still, this is better than Jan's polls  :agree:  :)

A home tie will limit our earnings potential, and frankly a long cup run may ultimately detract from our league form, and the bread and butter of league 2 is the most important thing for us at the moment.  Man Yoo or Arsenal away, biggest possible crowd so best money making.

A passage into the 4th Round would be good.... But a draw against a big team away would be our cup final whether it's Round 3 or 4.

Gillingham Away
Brighton & Hove Albion Away
London-based Premiership club Away
Watford Away
Leicester Away
Leeds Home
Man United/Liverpool/Newcastle - Wherever

Those are my choices

I shall personally blame Monte, when the inevitable draw and replay loss, plunges us into terminal financial decline.

   We always lose to a non league club once in every completed decade since  the 30's.

   30's.....Southall
    40's.....incomplete
    50's ....Hastings
    60's .....Kettering
     70's ....Tooting and Mitcham
     80's.... Dagenham
     90's ....Stevenage

     There aren't too many years left in the 00's.....personally I'm dreading  Saturday, and  fully expect another typical....dominate but can't finish  1-1 draw.

Hey why  do 39% of you want a big '4' away ?
If I live in Swindon , it would be great to have a chance to see for example Chelsea on Swindon Stadium....

In our FA cup the gate money is split 3 ways a third to each team, and a third to the FA. Man Utd away with 70,000 crowd even at £15 a ticket could equate to over £300,000 and with our finances that'd go a long way to allowing our board to channel even more money away from paying our debts.

IF we get through a big team away for me please.

This poll is ignoring the main topic of who I kill first for annoying me with those annoying whacker things.

I can't see it being much more than £25-30 for a game agaist League 2 opposition, which although more than even we are used to, is an amount we are all willing to pay t watch our team in a big game


Title: Who do you want in FA cup round 3?
Post by: STFC_Gazza on Thursday, November 30, 2006, 23:00:38
Arse, Liverpool, Chelski, Man yoo away or a non league team away just for the experience.

Obviously either man utd, arsenal or chelski would be good. Would love to draw Reading too as it'd be a quality atmosphere (from us anyway) and all i'd have to do is roll out of bed and im there.

wouldn't mind west ham away... london games are always good, and they'd probably put out a reserve team, so we'd get to see pook line up against mascherano.

I predict we'll end up with a disappointing draw... It's taken us a while to get back into the 3rd Round stage of the FA Cup.

I'd take anyone who'd the masses would consider us an underdog because we don't play well against "inferior" opposition which is annoying.

I agree to an extent... For me it depends how the consortium goes... Because a the ££££ generated by an away tie at team like Manchester United could be crucial for us.
