Assuming we win the replay - yeah, okay. Those are the sort of teams we'll need to be able to beat next year, with any luck. And if we don't get through, meh.
Absolutely brilliant draw for Cambridge Utd. Well deserved after the 10 miserable years they spent in the Conference playing the likes of Rsdtbourne Borough, Lewes, Gateshead and the like! Will be a terrific atmosphere at the Abbey that's for sure.
I am Ipswich Town through and through but I also have a soft spot for Cambridge as I have lived there for over 20 years. I used to go and watch Town every home game and Cambridge when Town were playing away! I moved down to Crawley (god knows why!) 10 years ago and I have followed Cambridge when they have played teams down here. I have been to all 3 of their play off finals and I have a lot of friends who are Cambridge supporters. A great club that was close to extinction a few years ago and I am delighted that they have recovered and this FA cup draw is just the icing on the cake!
Errr, we were drawn away in the 3rd round, had to go and play hard to get a replay and a place in the hat for the 4th round draw!
Very happy with the draw, real possibility of getting into the 5th round. Potentially 2 home ties against Premier League opposition could give a welcome financial boost. Worth going for it in the replay IMO.
I expect Saints to pick us off at Portman Road yet. Think with the onus on us as the home side will play into their hands a bit more than at St Mary's. Kind of hope I'm right, the first season in ages a non-cup run would be beneficial!
We weren't safe from relegation until Easter when we beat the Budgies! Absolutely decimated by injuries throughout the 77/78 season with both Beats and Big Al suffering injuries and Viljoen and Whymark also getting injured. Thank god for unsung Robin Turner scoring twice at Bristol Rovers in the 3rd Round to save us from going out at the first hurdle. I shall always remember going down there on a freezing cold day during a petrol shortage!
Saints should be favourites but I just cant wait to be in a sell out Portman Road, theres no better place to be.
