You need to be a member!!

Away draw at Forest or Everton please.

[NickoH]

7pm the draw

[Shanklygates]

Somewhere I haven't been before please - which rules out all PL clubs and many others. That is what the FAC is all about to me at this stage!

This but with a big enough ground to get a spare.

Or Old Trafford as I should qualify as the Away end should be gigantic.

[Sooty89!!!]

Away at Forest,Everton or Port Vale if they beat Yeovil

Missed Cardiff a few seasons ago so that one too.

[Priest078]

Chelsea away

[stefbs]

Which away game could go down to all members? Blackburn? Man utd? Newcastle?

[Luke 17]

Can't remember the last good draw we got in terms of away day. So we are definitely going to get Swansea at home or something like that.

[dudleyred]

Blackburn, Wigan and Bolton definitely and then anyone with over 50,000 capacity I expect would stand a good chance. There would be others though to be fair. A replay midweek away from home improves chances of it dropping of course

[J_Kopite]

If we draw Spurs away would we get 9k, or better yet, 12.5k?

9 I think

[Fazak_Red]

Forest, Millwall or Everton away.

Please no shit home draw or anyone like Reading away.

[Hightown Phil]

Highly doubt Wembley will operate at full capacity for a 3rd round FA Cup game, so doubt we'd get 9k.

I was thinking 15 percent of 60,000? But I imagine they’ll find a way to make sure the Away fans aren’t as large in number

[Luke 17]

I agree, West Ham only got 4800 in the League cup there although that is only 10% but 10% of Wembley should be 9k.

[Poet]

Get in!!

[MaskedBenitez]

Hopefully be some priority for people who sat through Plymouth and Wolves

[J_Kopite]

Made up with this draw and my autocup spec - can’t see us putting much of a reserve side out either you would think!

[andy07]

Proper derby atmosphere given that Everton will get the whole of the Annie Road. Bring it on.

[willfc]

Get in!! Kop auto cup sorted!!

[KevLFC]

What's the odds on spurs playing every round at Wembley?

[dudleyred]

When will they schedule this then! No doubt on tv so could be any time!

[Fazak_Red]

Bad times when you tick the box for the League Cup and not the FA Cup.

I did the same! Hoping this will go on previous homes in the Cup as I've  not missed one for years

[DOG-LFC8]

Hoping the same. What are the chances of this going on previous attendance?

[DOG-LFC8]

Also, when will the FA announce dates?

[ScubaSteve]

It better do considering we sat through Wolves and Plymouth last season!

Pretty certain there’ll be a pre req for this

[dudleyred]

Nailed on I’d have thought

If you’ve got Plymouth and wolves I’d think you’ll be fine

Did ACS sell out and if so what criteria anyone know?

[Hij]

Auto Cup was based on games from last season and the season before that. Whether that means they'll do the same for the sale in the next few weeks is anyones guess.

[Hij]

Did ACS sell out and if so what criteria anyone know?

Was fairly difficult for our group to get seats together on the Kop because my auto cup payment lapsed and inexplicably I forgot to try and purchase during the sale for Plymouth to all members and it sold out that morning - therefore I missed Wolves. Which is madness considering the opposition.

I think the rest of the ground may have been easier and taken longer to sell but the Kop went quite quickly.

Fingers crossed just one of the two will be needed then for you

[Hightown Phil]

15/1 presuming you aren't including the possibility of a replay.

[Hij]

Oh, I'm in this season!

Just I got in on the basis of having cup games from the season before fortunately, but had to wait for it to come down from full credits before I could purchase hence why we have scattered singles and a couple in front of each other rather than all together. If they use the same two season system next season, I could do with us playing 2/3 home games this season to make up for the fact I don't have Wolves/Plymouth. Should be fairly easy to get back to full credits moving forwards though as I'll just have to go elsewhere next season if I can't get Kop and move back over as I get more credits again.

[Wabaloolah]

Also, when will the FA announce dates?

it'll depend on TV, last year the live games were announced on Thursday following the draw, I think we'll be on Friday with an 8pm kick off if the BBC have first pick which I think they do
