We are so ****ing tin pot

 

 

I would shed not one tear if we folded you know

Under a different manager I would have been praying for an easy tie to progress to the next round. However, now I can’t help but see the hilarity in us losing to a team that I have no idea what league they are in.

It's an absolute cert for TV. Be Friday or Monday night.

Not even sure what you were on about to be honest. 12 mins outside the centre. The Kassam is 13…

Not so. The ground is on the outskirts of the city, and easier for Leicester fans to get to than Oxford United, being just off the by pass on the north of the city. Capacity is about 3000, which I think has only been reached once (in game to reach National League). There should be several hundred Leicester fans allowed -the opposite end to the bar!) If they win their game in hand they will be top of the National League north. Yes, an artificial pitch which may take some adapting to. Only just avoided relegation last season but some investment in the playing squad has improved results. Assistant coach is Paul Robinson who has played in played in Premier League for WBA 2003ff.

I think this game is a must for TV coverage.

Bloody hell that's the last time I make a throwaway comment on a forum based on a quick google

You know we're shit when I'm glad we didn't have to play Oxford United.

2021 - Lift the FA cup after beating the team that goes on to win the Champions League a few weeks later.

 

2026 - Nervous about playing a side with 700 fans.

300-400 I imagine. Good news though, as somebody pointed out, the away end is on the opposite side of the clubhouse/bar. But there's another bar been opened behind the main stand which away supporters use for segregated games, so you'll at least be able to get a drink!

How will they sell tickets, just buy online, on the gate etc..? What's the likeliest method.

[Walshy5]

Will probably be moved to Oxford Uniteds ground for "safety reasons"

Definitely won't be on the gate. Away supporters can usually buy tickets online from the Oxford City website,. but I'm sure that won't be happening here. Most likely you'll have to get them online from Leicester.

Friday night nailed on!
