I really fancy going to this one (never been to Glanford Park) but might be struggling to get a ticket as the ground only holds 9183 so we'll probably only get about 1800 tickets.

Was thinking the same, says on wiki away allocation is around 1800 but can be more housed in another stand so will have to see but considering we gave them a good allocation twice then hopefully they'l do the same.

Dont think will we be on the tele . They will show .

Spuds v Leeds
Dippers v Burnley
PNE v Chelski
Clay Heads v Arse

If there are 4 games to be shown .

A tie we should be winning if we have aspirations to win the trophy overall. We avoided the bigger guns and got a winnable draw so not too bad at all.

If we approach the game the right way it should be a game we can get past.

Isn't that always the case in a knockout cup?

If we get through though your still looking at Spurs, Villa, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool..

Hope theres an upset, but pissed off they'll only be something like one all prem tie.

It wouldnt be the case if we had drawn Chelsea, Arsenal, Villa or Spurs would it.

Very nice draw.

[MARKMAKAVELI]

Never take a draw like this for granted but I'm more confident of City now than I have ever been, as I'm sure alot of you are

We're gonna win everything.

[Rag_hater]

We are still on for the domestic treble which is more than any of the sky 4

[AlpsMaster]

That will do for me and I no longer worry about our away game form.

I was relieved with this draw, although away from home we should be capable of turning them over. Main thing is we avoided the decent Prem teams.

Looking at the fixtures for the African Nations Cup, Togo play their last game of the group stage on 19 January. They are in a group with Ghana, Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso. Top two go through so can't see them getting through (fingers crossed) so Ade should be back by the end of Jan at the latest, maybe in time for this fixture?

Very nicely put chief!

I'm happy with this draw. Not particularly scared of anyone, but obviously its easier than Chelsea at the Bridge or Arsenal at the Emirates!
