FA cup first round draw

Recommended Posts

Good oppertunity to bring the young-uns on for this. Lets see what they can do.

It might be beneficial to play our first team but give young strikers Billy McKay or Billy Kee a slot either in the team or on the bench.

Correct about the arrogance. That will be the same reason I won't go to this game. People wil turn up expecting us to put about 10 past them :rolleyes: The morons are bad enough for home league games when teams have an equal squad as us, so when we play a team with a squad generally a lot worse than ours it will be horrific.

Stevenage won't bring 1000 fans, they only managed to get a gate of 1000 yesterday for their FA cup game. Horsham would be even less too.

Lower league football does need all the financial help it can get, which is why in the first few rounds of the FA cup, if a team is drawn against a team in a lower league at home, the roles should be switched, and it should be played at the smaller teams ground, as they do in some European countries. This way, more money is given to the lower league team, and the playing field is evened slightly.

Im sure in the FA Cup that the teams split the gate receipts? :dunno: Therefore they would get more at the Walker anyway.

Isn't that the Carling cup?

Why do lower league teams always want home ties then :S

I thought it was the FA cup 50/50 split on the gate revenue.

Yep. No expecting wholesale changes but a few new faces wouldn't go amiss.

I thought in the FA cup it was split 3 ways, 1/3 to the home team, 1/3 to the away and 1/3 to the FA. I am probably wrong though.

Just to throw a 3rd view on things, I thought it was 45% to the two teams, then 10% left for th FA. :dunno:

That's what I thought too.

Maybe it varies depending on round/teams involved?

What a disappointing draw.... but then again anything at home was going to get that response from me really. Just hope this isn't selected for TV or it'll be embarassing having all those empty seats on display.

They plan on opening the whole ground for this :huh:

I know this may sound ridiculous, but whoever gets through to play us could quite conceivably bring 3000/4000 supporters (or people who tag along for the glory) up here and if prices are reasonable then I think there will be interest from our fans. Havant and Waterlooville took 6,000 fans to Liverpool remember and although this isn't a fixture to match that, I reckon a lot of people will want to come here for a day out. I'd be surprised if the attendance was lower than 15,000 personally.

By "all areas", I presume that they're hoping for ~15,000, keeping the corners empty and doing loads of really really cheap tickets? I mean its the FA Cup! Come on guys, FA CUP! :wub:

Good evening leicester fans.

Hopefully will be up there next week provided we perform tomorrow :)

But I highly doubt we will bring even close to that amount quoted, id be very surprised if we manage to bring 1000. We only took 3500 to our playoff final!

Just hope the lads give it there all now as I would love a trip up to the Walkers.

Eastwood beat Wrexham :laugh: Ridiculous. Last year Wrexham would have been 3 divisions ahead of them!

Hinckley were beaten in their replay vs lower league opposition on penalties :nono:

The team coalville were knocked out by (Who play at the same level as them) are also through after beating Lewes last night. Unbelieveable!!

Games on TV:

AFC Wimbledon Wycombe Wanderers - Setanta (:D) (Monday)

Leeds United Northampton Town - Setanta (friday)

Havant & Waterlooville Brentford - ITV (Sunday)

2 good choices for TV there, can't see what the attraction is of having Leeds-Northampton on though.
