Watford Away

 

BORING

 

On the plus side it's quite local, plus with increased away allocations we can take up the whole of that stand rather than just part of it for the league.

 

Lots of all Championship ties so far.

 

Meh. A bit dull but winnable and a decent allocation. I might go.

 

Eastleigh will be at home to Wigan or Man Utd if they win their replay!

 

Also the only place I've seen us win a league match in almost a decade.

 

Hopefully both Eastleigh and United can get the upset.

 

Not many good ties but great for Eastleigh if they get through.

 

Good that Man City have a very losable tie though.

 

I might go to their replay. Has the date been confirmed yet?

 

So Watford's ground holds 22,200 which gives us an allocation of up to 3,330 - I'll be going to that I think. That whole stand behind the goal will be full of Saints fans.

 

Tuesday 16th apparently according to the BBC.

 

Yep just bought a ticket

 

Looking at the draw and there's more than a reasonable chance of a winnable tie in the 5th round should we get through.

 

Is this to put you in first place for a Eastleigh United ticket if they win?

 

There's going to be a lot more Eastleigh fans coming through now!!

 

Hopefully

Well not first place but presumably you'll need to be registered on the system to have a chance. Looking forward to it though as you can't beat an FA Cup tie at a non league ground.

I've been meaning to visit for a while anyway tbf. Last time I went was about a decade ago before they built the new stand. Changed loads since then.

 

Think it'll be more than 3k and we'll get the whole end.

 

Yeah I just read Chesterfield got 4,000 which is presumably the capacity of that whole stand.
