FA Cup 3rd Round Blackpool (H)

I've got Blyth in the Road to Wembley thread, fuck me they'd better win, no way I want to be stuck with that shower of shite!

[Legion]

The Blyth lads look like they've been mugged and kicked in the bollocks

Their fans probably will be in January.

I promised my non-footie best mate I would take him if we were at home - my wife just announced she wants to come as well
She has refused to come since the first match of the 1976 season due to us fighting with West Ham - told her she was fickle!

Me too, I'd forgotten about that! I'm withdrawing from the contest if Spartans don't win. After their Scottish namesakes pissed me off by knocking Clyde out of the cup, they owe me...

Fonzy coming home .

Doubt it, if they can't find Sherlock Street, they'll never make it to Blyth.

Fonzy coming home .

He scored the last time we played Blackpool at home...

Fonzy coming home .

One of his few goals for us was in the league game against them at VP I think.

I can see this being a Sunday game.

Feel sorry for Blyth. I went there to watch Halesowen Town a couple of weeks back. A nice club, with good people running it and great supporters.

They deserve so much better than that shower turning up.

On what basis ? SHA are away, can't see it being on TV !
It's made for Saturday 3pm

No chance. It won't be on TV and it only clashes with Bitters vs Gateshead. Be lucky if there are 35K in total at both games.

I can see this being a Sunday game.

In the First and Second Round, a whole host of ties were moved to Sunday at 2pm, even if they weren't being shown live... so that BBC could show highlights just a few seconds after they'd occurred. Pretty ludicrous if we get moved for that reason, and likely to knock at least 5,000 off the crowd too.

That said, Blackpool play a day before us, New Year's Eve compared to New Year's Day, so if it does get moved to Sunday it might suit us from a footballing perspective.

[Goldie.7]

4 games over 9 days is going to be tough.

That would be wank to be moved for that reason. And they wonder why crowds are down for the FA Cup when they mess around with it. If it was a Sunday I probably wouldn't go, Saturday 3pm and I would.
