FA Cup draw - Mon 4th December - Fleetwood or Hereford (A)

[Footballwipe]

Notts County or Peterborough away would be brilliant.

 

Coventry away should be a tie to aspire to, unfortunately as many have said their ground is in the most ridiculous location with no decent transport links. Plus the ground would be half empty.

 

Swansea away or Preston at home more likely, however.

I'm sure that the station isn't open for Coventry home games for some reason.

Correct, that station can only handle like 100 people at a time or something like that

Fylde away. They are semi professionals and have a stadium capacity of 5000. Adrien Silva will make his debut.

Shame no non league teams have actually made it through as yet.

[Blue ROI]

If they took it seriously a top championship like Aston villa or wolves away would be interesting. 

 

Not too far away and be a good game as they might be in the top flight next year.

We'd take serious numbers to Wolves.

More than you had in total for your game against Borehamwood.

 

Perfect, seeing how good our away support has been in recent years..

[Jattdogg]

Tottenham away anyone? Best time to play them and pile on more misery.

 

 

Keep the faith lads.

Coventry away would be fantastic.

 

Being from the south of the county I've always considered Coventry the biggest derby game for me as I live half way between Coventry and Leicester. You lot can keep your Forest and Derby and not enough rivalry has ever been given to Coventry IMO. Especially when you consider both clubs are at a loose end for a derby and both our most hated clubs see other clubs as their biggest rivals.

 

Coventry's main rival is Villa but Villa hate Birmingham more.

Ours is Forest but they hate Derby more.

 

[block15ccfc]

To be honest I think drawing you lot at home would probably sell out. We have only played about 2/3 premier league sides at the Ricoh and the last time was way back in 2009 I believe. While there are thousands officially boycotting, the majority of fans stay away because watching football in a stadium owned by a rugby team with crowds of 9000 is awful.

I always love the FA Cup 3rd round draw, but we have had some absolutely horrendous draws in recent years. It's always interesting to take on lower league opposition, or go to different grounds. Getting more premier league matches is sometimes a bit infuriating. I remember in the great escape season we drew Newcastle, Spurs and Villa and managed to beat Newcastle and Spurs but couldn't win for toffee in the league at the time.

That's probably enough for a normal Cov game...

It's a bit like us having to pair off with the ugly bird at the end of the school disco because everyone else is taken!

You sound like you've lived through that experience and you're still bitter about it.

I’ve always wanted a non league, even at home. 

 

Other than that league two or one team away please 

 

Fill your boots, mate - probably my favourite Cup-tie of all time:

 

 

[Stadt]

If we're to get a prem team like we always do then Huddersfield and West Brom away would be alright - play a strong team and we'll win.

[CosbehFox]

Non-League away is great in principle but you'll have TV move it to a Friday night, Sunday afternoon or Monday night and have an away allocation of 500. 

 

Better to have a Championship/League 1 club away.

Just anyone not in our league. 

[rn9013]

I say it every cup draw but I would love Leeds away purely for selfish reasons (only live 10 mins down the road). 

 

Other than that I just really want us to get an away draw to lower league opposition, we always seem to end up with a PL draw more often than not. The beauty of the cups (particularly FA cup third round weekend) is seeing lower league teams go up against the PL big boys, so I would love for us to be a part of that. 

[Leeds Fox]

I think we have a squad that no matter who we rotate, we can still put out a strong team. Obviously Vardy, Kasper,  Iborra etc are better than their understudies. However bringing in players like Iheanacho, Dragovic, James won’t hinder us too much and it gets them some good competitive minutes while still taking the competition seriously enough. 

 

I’d love Fylde or a smaller league League Two side purely for the experience of a proper football ground again.

Fylde's probably isn't the best example of that. New build on the edge of town.
