Hee hee, that's not till Wednesday ... Next is this draw tomorrow!

I think this is just for the draw not the match

My bad ;-)

Good to see us in the next round even if we still have a game to win. Love the FA Cup and would like to see someone like Macc come to town.

Macc would be good too and they need the money to stay afloat.

It'd be a good payday for them. For lower league clubs fans and players it's about the 'Romance', as they say, but for the owners it's a life-line.

Blackburn earned their draw today and I expect they'll bring more fans to ours than they took to todays game.

PS. Not having a go at their fans, it was a TV game after an expensive period.

For Macc, there was an item on the news about two young lads who walked 11 miles to the game to raise funds and one of them had had an arm and a leg amputated (some time ago). They raised £300+ and were met at the ground by the assistant manager. Thank god we don't have those sorts of problems.

Also if we played them we could revive the old 'Are you watching Macclesfield?' chant from the bad old days!

Love it if macc can get past Wednesday. A good payday nevertheless as bound to be a reasonable 10000ish+ crowd at Hillsborough.

Yeah Mac or Dale- great win for them against the Leeds scum so they deserve a good pay day!

I will be out and about at 2pm today so can someone pls. watch the draw and update it here who we get?

We're at home (if we beat Blackburn) vs Bristol City/Watford

Good draw

At home to Bristol or Watford! (If we get past Blackburn)

Home probably to Watford. Very good draw and with all our matches this January we needed it. Could Aguero come off the bench for this season? Probably optimistic.

Sorry I meant off the bench for this match!

Biggest win from this draw is not having to travel. Liverpool probably off to face Bournemouth for example. Not what you want on a sleety mid week in January

That'l do. Onwards to the next round !

Good draw for us (providing we beat Blackburn!).

Not really any interesting ties in the draw.
