Altrincham or FC United for us.

 

Either way, we're in Manchester.

And out again rather quickly.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Hope we win 10-0.

Hi Foxes, Oxford City fan here. Looking forward to welcoming you to the MGroup. Any questions, ask away!

What are the chances of getting a ticket? I live about 30 mins away. Saw you stadium only has about 500 seats but has few thousand standing? 

[Sir Steve Howard]

This will be the worst away end of all time

I had to laugh when the draw was made and the presenter reminded us that Bradford are the 'highest ranked team in today's draw'.

 

We probably weren't the highest ranked team last time we were in League One because the 1st round was not long after that defeat at Brighton.

The draw for the first round was made before the brighton game, after our 0-0 with Northampton.

 

But you're right we weren't the highest ranked on that occasion either, we sat 2nd in the table.

 

The highest ranked team back then was........S****horpe.

Yes, S****horpe, I wouldn't have got that off top of my head! But I do recall now as I'm sure we played them (and beat them) in November time. I can remember going to that game at Glanford Park, we were 1-2 winners. Had some good away days there.

Remember the game. It was bloody freezing. I think due to my age and going to pretty much every game that season then 08/09 ranks up there as one of my favourite seasons following us.

I was just thinking what does everyone have against S****horpe then remembered it has **** in the middle of it

AI says there are 2,000 seats, but that is clearly wrong !

 

The often quoted 563 seats is the main stand. In the past 5 years two more stands have been installed on the opposite side of the ground, which I'd guess takes the number of seats to around 900. I'd say the open stand in the segregated away end has around 150 seats.

 

I expect tickets will go quickly, although I would think it would be slower if the game was a Friday or Monday evening, at least for the home supporters.

 

Hope the TV companies will make their choices soon so we can all get on with planning for the game !
