Topic: FA Cup Draw

[Pata]

Looking here
http://www.lfchistory.net/SeasonArchive/ListGamesByType/2
this could be the lowest crowd for a Liverpool FA Cup match since about 1895.

[AJL]

You will need to have played at Southend in 79 onwards to qualify

This will get switched to a bigger ground.  Simple financial reasons alone coupled with police pressure.    Would generate a gate of at least 20000 if the stadium capacity allowed, maybe 30000.

I really doubt it will. Clubs very rarely move games to bigger grounds.

FRom Paul sheridans post in the Mansfield thread are allocations were
done some research
man utd  - 8,975 reading, all sth then all fch
reading  - 3,990 must have purchased preston + everton, all season ticket holders
everton - 5,994 must have preston, STHs with all 3 home FA Cup games from previous season (Luton, Havant & Barnsley).
preston - 5,099 must Luton away, followed by STHs with all 3 home FA Cup games from previous season (Luton, Havant & Barnsley).
luton  - 1,740 Tickets will be available to Season Ticket Holders who recorded all THREE FA Cup away fixtures during Season 2005-2006 on their Fan Card. These were Luton (07.01.06), Portsmouth (29.01.06), and Birmingham (21.03.06).

Mansfield was 1383 and that started on all ST holders with 5 above then went to also members with 5 above

So its gonna get messy this allocation

[AnfieldIron]

What chance of getting one for this with a members card with Man Utd FA cup away, Notts County Capital one at home and the Dortmund pre season friendly? Heard they were going to start cross-competition loyalty.

Need Gerrard's testimonial mate.

What was our last FA Cup away?

[matt_lfc]

What was our last FA Cup away?

Arsenal last season.

Stadium MK possibly?

[Mad Max]

If they want to make plenty of cash it will be moved.

[nearly40]

Selhurst Park makes sense, can see a lot of the old Wimbledon fans coming out of the woodwork especially if they price it right. We could get the whole of the Arthur Waite stand at a capacity of 9754.

Crystal Palace are away at Dover that weekend.

[Tommypig]

They would want to but your ground has to conform to a certain standard to play in the FA Cup and a higher one for Football league clubs - this game won't be moved for capacity or stadium reasons - 

However they share the ground with Kingstonians who have a home fixture also scheduled for that day so technically they might be able to use this as an excuse to move to another ground!!

[Alf Garnett]

Got Friday night written all over it this game.

[matt_lfc]

Got Friday night written all over it this game.

Won't be Friday as we play Thursday 1st Jan and the FA Cup games are scheduled for Sat 3rd-Tues 6th Jan this time round.

[Trev20]

The fixtures around new year are a mess.

[Paullfc95]

I'd imagine it'll be a sunday TV game.

[Trev20]

I'd imagine it'll be a sunday TV game.

Similar to when we were beaten by mighty Oldham a couple years back.

Shit, not good for my work situation, now hoping for the Tuesday.

so this is a game where qualifications will pre date fancards. Ticket stubs anyone??

[carl123uk]

Eight London clubs drawn at home in the FA Cup. Arsenal, Chelsea, QPR, Brentford, Charlton, Fulham, Millwall, AFC Wimbledon

[Mad Max]

Any news on it being moved yet?

[stevienash]

Any news on it being moved yet?

Not yet

[Shanklygates]

They're looking at a temp stand but have said there's not much room.

[nickyd186]

Any news on it being moved yet?

Fa have stated that no games will be moved for the 3rd round as non fail to meet H&S standards. Home tickets are priced £4 to £25

[simo71]

I bet AFC Wimbledon wouldn't have minded a ground switch, well the accountants wouldn't have anyway!

The game might not be on the tele if it's switched to somewhere like Selhurst Park, so that's something they need to consider. It's a certainty for TV coverage if it's at their own ground.

Wimbledon are looking into temporary seating to expand their ground:

http://www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/news/article/fa-cup-update-2136505.aspx

looks like they are staying at home

[Pata]

Ah, I thought that they were also going to try to do something with the terrace behind the goal as it looked like this when I went to see Wimbledon-Southport in January 2011



but just realised that the Nongshim Stand replaced this in 2012.

[JRC_]

Would love to be in a stand like that!

Is that the extra seating?

Not a bad shout to have it on Monday night as travel to the game on Sunday would've been a pain - no trains on the Clapham Junction - Wimbledon - Kingston - Twickenham section of the line due to engineering works.

[HighFlyingBirds]

Fucking hell

bastards

[Trev20]

That's not ideal.

[Pata]

I am OK with this. Tickets might be easier to untangle as well now.

[Alf Garnett]

Hmmmmm train and hotel or drive to Watford and back in my own bed by 03.00am.
