FA Cup 3rd Round draw.

[TonyD]

Rovers are pretty poor at the moment after going down.  We would be reaching new depths to go out.  Will get about 1,600 tickets judging by the number they gave Everton a few years back in the league cup. The pasties make you burp real bad - avoid.

Could get a tv slot. Who gets first pick, sky or itv? Hope its sky so they take the manchesters game.

I fear another Doncaster with this one.

Not a bad draw for us.

Luckily, Sky don't do the FA cup. It's ESPN that covers it live. Watch us be the Friday night game.

Have to say i'd be quite happy to go out. If we went on a cup run i could see us doing a blose and going down.

Relegation or no relegation, if McLeish were to deliver the FA cup I'd not only put his picture up in the bedroom I'd buy a shirt and put Heskey's name on the back.

God i hope not. I reckon it'll be 5.30pm on the Saturday.

If we were to get promoted straight back. I would readily take relegation and a season in the Championship for our first FA Cup win in 55 years. In fact I might take two seasons in it.

Only 12k capacity? Clearly a case for switching grounds. If it's held at VP will get 10k from Bristol and 20 k Villa fans. So about 30 v 12 makes sense for Rovers to ask for switch.

I dont think you can switch for financial reasons any more.....they only switch games if the police tell them too

In that case someone should tell Bristol Police about the hooligan element..large hooligan element ..in our away  support and also the fact that with tickets in short  supply it is likely that 15000 ticketless Villa supporters will be heading for Bristol on the day of the match and will cause untold wanton damage in the city centre and terrify the local community around the ground....yes  they will.

Include me in that as well. The FA cup that is what I want at any price.

No Friday night games. All ties have to be played on the 7 and 8 January.

My brother-in-law is a Gashead.  Sort of.  I think the last game he went to was when we last played them in the Cup back in BFR's day.

Despite myself, I actually think there's plenty of interesting ties.  If I could have a choice of only one to watch, I think I'd like to see the Fylde Coast derby - provided Fleetwood beat Yeovil in their replay.

Thats why it will be on TV

I remember going to bristol rovers in the 3rd round about 1980 if i'm right, but it was eastville stadium?
Anyway there was loads of trouble after the game on a park next to the ground. Was quite dodgy with running battles back to the coaches. That was the 80s though.
They'll definitely fancy beating the villa at home, you can smell an upset.
