Newton Heath v Reading being on TV makes it clear that they were going to be chosen regardless of who they drew

I get that they put Man Utd on for viewing figures, but come on. Who apart from their fans wants to watch them play Reading at home? They'll win comfortably and it will be played out with no atmosphere.

At least you can vaguely understand why they've picked our game. The Man U and Liverpool games are absolutely dreadful selections.

As per every game played at The Theatre of Commercial Opportunities.

Moving it to Sunday has ruined it for me. Wanted to go back to WHL before demolition.

Can see a lot of people thinking the same, especially being sandwiched between two other away games. We'll take a couple of thousand max now it's on the box.

The magic of the FA Cup. Watching a manure turkey shoot as Jonathan Fatso gushes in the commentary box.

Spurs have contacted our club and requested that we accept a reduced allocation. They want us to take 3000 instead of 4000 so they don't have to relocate their season ticket holders.

They can fuck off. Our crowds this season suggest that we will take 4,000 no bother.

As the game is in between Cardiff and Wolves away, it might be a game too much for some people. I wouldn't bet on us not shifting the 4,000 though.

Villa are 'considering' the offer and have contacted our away fans' group for their opinion. Personally I think 3000 would be plenty; on BBC, just after Christmas, sandwiched between two other away games and we'll lose. We wouldn't sell 4000.

A chance to go back to a ground we all believe we should be seeing at least once a season anyway? Damn right we'll sell out - just to let everyone on the tellybox know we're still here if nothing else.
