Shame

 

Come on Kettering! Proper cup tie this.

 

Billy Sharp is such a **** houser! Definitely a fun game.

 

Reading 2-1 down at home to Harborough

 

Harborough equaliser with minutes to go and Reading down to ten. Shame there's no replay for them.

Obviously the big clubs couldn't have the fixture congestion caused by 1st and 2nd round replays.

 

I disagree. I think they'd rather take the ET against 10 men.

 

Goowan keeper

 

Yeah this situation is rather unique but the money from a replay on TV would be incredible for a club that size. Still a good chance they lose this.

Point stands that binning them for these rounds to appease clubs who don't play in them is bollocks.

 

Add Tamworth to the should have had a money spinning replay list.

 

And now Harborough are losing...

 

5-3 Reading.

Tens of thousands lost for them. Quite possibly 6 figures.

Disgraceful.

 

Tamworth through!

 

Would say I'd fancy a trip there but with only 850 tickets I doubt I'd get one.

Accrington away please.

 

Wycombe away would be a good one. Their ground holds 10,000 so we'd get 1500 tickets or so.

 

Yeah I wouldn't mind Wycombe. Though suspect I still wouldn't get a ticket.

 

I see the 3rd round draw is Monday at 19.00 on BBC 2.
We are ball 36

 

To be fair there's **** loads of potential new grounds for that me that I'd be more than happy with. QPR would be good as they look like going down.

No doubt though it'll be Palace at home.

 

I absolutely love that they moved the 3rd round draw to Monday nights.


Said no one ever.

 

I'm old enough to remember the FA Cup draws for each round being broadcast live on the wireless, at 1:00pm or thereabouts, on the Monday following the Saturday when the previous round was played. In other words, each draw always used to be on a Monday, at lunchtime. Then someone decided that they would be exciting to watch...
