FA CUP 6TH ROUND DRAW

[Oviedo37]

My heart sunk when I saw who we got and who we could have potentially gotten in the draw but Arsenal for me is the better draw.

Mainly for the fact that they're likely to rest players due to league and Champions League commitments.

Yeah totally agree.

If we beat arsenal or the [Poor language removed] we're most likely to get city in either the semi or final and without mr Barry could do with Gibson back by then.
All ifs and buts I know just getting ahead of myself

Chill Winston! Berto relishes challenges like this, and let's not forget that Blackburn did Arsenal at the Emirates last year.

Win this one and we win the cup for sure!

Do people think it would go to general sale for the arsenal game?

The Club applied for the maximum allocation of 9000 tickets (15%) for the forthcoming FA Cup third round tie at the Emirates Stadium. Following lengthy conversations, Arsenal Football Club has advised us that on safety and security grounds, experienced at previous Cup fixtures this season, they are only able to provide an allocation of 5,186 (8.64%).

As the security issues cited related to safety in the Upper Tier we subsequently requested an extended allocation in the Lower Tier. We have been informed that this is also not possible due to segregation and safety issues.

We appreciate that this will mean that many of our supporters will not be able to attend this fixture but unfortunately the host club has stated it is impossible to increase the allocation offered to us for this fixture.

In the event of a replay taking place at White Hart Lane, Arsenal will be provided with a reduced allocation equivalent to the percentage that we have received at the Emirates Stadium.

Please note that following a rule change the pricing for FA Cup games is set exclusively by the home club.


From the Spurs site for their cup game this year, be annoying if we lose nearly half our allocation.
If we're category B, £35.50 is the price, like with the league.

If they drop it to Category C, then it's £27.50


If the RS salvage it, then well £50.

I said to myself 1 minute before than penalty I wonder what the odds are of Gerrard pen next goal.

Arsenal have Bayern away on the 11th March if it hasn't been mentioned already.

so we will have to be on the Saturday

 

[RFUS]

Hideous draw. Just knew it would happen.

Hopefully Arsenal can see this out though as I'd fancy us to nick a draw at the Emirates and hopefully scrape past them in the replay.

 

[bainesontoast]

Indeed. Mid-day kick off I reckon.

 

[Herk8346]

Perfect for us, Arsenal play Bayern 3 days later at Emirates, they're gonna rest the whole bloody team unless the first leg is a walkover

 

[Dymak]

Thank feck for that!

 

[barneygumble]

Come on Arsenal, beat Bayern on Weds.

Drop a few more of them, and we have a real chance here.

5,177 blues there for a Saturday 12:45 i reckon!
