A mixture of good pricing and us having a top support.

True, but we never used to sellout the early rounds especially when we are struggling. 1997/98 we had only 20k against Newcastle in the 3rd round because we were as bad as this season

At 15 for what is a Premier league fixture its a great price

The live games have been confirmed, two on BBC and four on itv. No surprise we are not on, RS v Cardiff is on Sunday 12pm and bizarrely Bournemouth v Boreham wood at 6pm, possibly the worst game of the draw.

Oh, I don't know. These kinds of ties are what's made the FA Cup so appealing, historically.

I wouldn’t call Evertonians “thick as pigshit” for buying all the tickets for an Everton game.

What a silly thing to say.

going back 25 years to pick a low turn out? Fans have been staved for live games some cannot afford membership, these are cheap tickets and as above we still have a good fan base.

Hope we play our strongest team for this, while a cup run can often be a distraction, I think it's just what we need right now. The whole club needs a lift.

A good solid 9-0 win will get a bit of confidence back in the side and club.

Pessimist!

I hope that the last day of the transfer window allows us to bring in a few reinforcements so that we don’t have to play our strongest team. Presently our strongest team isn’t very strong.
But enough of the negativity, we have a new young manager and we are at the start of a new era in the club, onwards and upwards. NSNO.

Am in the lower gwladys with me little brother and me nephew. It’s his first game so wasn’t sure to go in the gwladys because he’s only 5 but he loves everything loud. so he will love it hopefully.

…despite what @4737carlin & @ForeverBlue92 say about our fanbase, their loyalty to this club never fails to amaze me. They deserve better than what’s been served up.
