FA Cup 3rd Round Draw

[kingkisnorbo]

Cracking draw. Although according to some in here a home game would have been better. Which is obviously boulderdash.

Strike day for trains is 7th Jan.

I'm basically working on the basis that trains don't exist any more, cos neither side is backing down any time soon.

Have to pinch myself sometimes that were now classed as a "dream tie" by some fans. My have we come a long way from the league one days...

Yeah, I just meant from Manchester. Gonna make a weekend of it though so it'll be fine, I have friends in Essex anyway.

Oh fair enough

Our draw luck this season has been nothing short of sensational.

We've had a serious amount of all Premier League ties over recent years, though.

Or balderdash even!

Iheanacho on the bench for this one?

[Corky]

Peter Taylor has managed both of these. Hopefully he'll be given pitchside punditry and our fans can give him dog's abuse.

I work out 15% allocations to be approx;

 

1,700 for Gillingham

900 for D&R

 

 Check me out!

Gillingham is the place I witnessed the worst racism at a football ground.

 

Unfortunately it was our own fans towards Andy Impey.

Dagenham are shocking for it. Banned or priced out West Ham.

The Gillingham forum not too enthused by it.

Normally as a result of progressing in fairness. They’ve been pretty good since 2019

I'd genuinely rather avoid these kind of ties. Not like we always show up and they can absolutely ruin seasons.

Normally Dagenham give 1,200 to away fans but not sure if they can change that by giving a different stand etc.

 

Gillingham sounds about right. 1,500 in that "stand" and 200ish seats.

Since promotion half our third round ties have been all Premier League- Newcastle, Tottenham, Everton and Watford. Quite a lot, to be fair.

I see this as payback, just like 2015/16 was payback for 2004-2008.

Probably still fuming that one of the last times they played us Junior Lewis scored surely one of his only ever professional goals against them

[grobyfox1990]

Man City v Chelsea 

Man U v Everton 

liverpool v wolves

sheff wed v Newcastle 

Gillingham v city

Oxford v Arsenal

on tv for me

 

Man City has to be Sunday as they’re playing each other on the Thursday. Would selfishly hope our game is on the Friday so I have a chance at a ticket

Serendipitously, I've not long ago put up a proper pukka new shed. Its quite small though. Can you sleep standing up? If no, how many San Miguels have to be poured in you before yes?

[Nalis]

Been to Gillingham a few times. Will the away fans will be in the temporary stand that has been there for about 25 years?

That's actually really cool. It's easy to take for granted our success sometimes 

[Fox92]

Just got in and seen these. Brilliant draw. Both of which would be a new ground for me so I'm happy with that.

[Collymore]

This is the type of game Vardy after a rest could be frightening.
