Man U away. We'd get 10,000 like West ham did a few years ago when every tom dick and harry came out of the woodwork.

Failing that, Coventry or Blues at home. It's easy for me to say that from
The other side of the world! 😄

Give us a winnable away with a sizeable allocation just in it for the day out these days.

After 2015 I am resigned to us never winning this competition in my lifetime can't galvanise any enthusiasm for 3rd round day since then.

I reckon it will be a prem team away and we'll have to bite our tongue as the national press (and the local one of course) will be printing stuff like "underdogs Aston Villa look for a giantkilling at...."

Factually correct of course but I don't like reading stuff like that as it reminds me how far we've fallen.

It would be good to win the 3rd round tie as at least then that's one less league game the African players will miss!

Blackpoo away, with their fans still boycotting I might get a ticket for that one! And it would be a new ground for me.

"Fun" fact: in every season that we've ever been promoted, we've always knocked at least one top-flight club out of a cup competition.

Wouldn't mind a glamour tie like Bournemouth or Watford.

I think you've been influenced by Mr Amfy.

If we make it to the semi and we are drawn as the home side and having played every round away would that still be a free game for ST holders?

No, but I think that we'd all willingly pay up if that circumstance arises
