Who do you want in the third round draw?

Post by LPE »

Financially a big Premier League away tie makes sense but quite fancy a home London derby.

I’ll go for Spurs.

Definitely be on the tele.

West Ham at home
(though I reckon we'll get a bottom half Championship side away)

Not really sure about the appeal of getting battered at home by Spurs or West Ham.

I’ve always wanted to go to Old Trafford so that would be a nice day out.

On recent showings we’d be battered by any opponent.

A winnable tie like Man City at home and then a big draw v Spurs or West Ham in round 4.

Arsenal , Spurs or West Ham away would be fantastic. Any one of those three would be a massive pay day .

West Ham wouldn't, they give half their tickets away.

The score wouldn't be the main thing , it's the money we could make from the tie .

Not Spurs as our goalscoring GK, Josh Keeley won’t be able to play.
After watching Arsenal smash the poor little Hammers, let’s bring West Ham to Brizzy
COYO’s
Or
Away to Liverpool, City or Utd

Tottenham, Arsenal, Spurs or Man Utd away for revenue.
In terms of geography only, Cardiff City or Bristol City away.

Considering how we’ve somehow sneaked through I reckon we’ll get a good tie. We usually get awful draws so it’s about time

The appeal about getting drawn with those types of clubs is the payday . We're never winning the FA Cup so to us it's all about the pounds, shillings and pence .

If it’s at home how is it a payday?
