F.A.Cup Rnd 2 -V- .........
 

Away to Pompey

Winnable but could have been kinder.

Re: F.A.Cup Rnd 2 -V- .........
 

Bummer, but OK for Chimer, Long Lost and me.
At least the team know what they'll be up against and should get 40% (?) of a decent gate.

Re: F.A.Cup Rnd 2 -V- .........
 

Nice one!! Looking forward to it :)

Re: F.A.Cup Rnd 2 -V- .........
 

Awful draw. Except for Chimer.

Re: F.A.Cup Rnd 2 -V- .........
 

Half the gate receipts of a decent crowd

As some of you have been kind enough to say, good for me :) in one way :mad:. But Eastleigh would have been better, even though I would have had to drive all of 15 miles for that one :rolleyes:.

But I'm confident we can do them anyway :D

Re: F.A.Cup Rnd 2 -V- .........
 

Not the best draw but I think Pompey will be more concerned than us, we're playing well and afraid of no one.

Re: F.A.Cup Rnd 2 -V- .........
 

The last game against them was like a Cup tie, with some exciting end to end attacking from both sides. Agree that Pompey will be even more wary of Stanley than they were a month or so ago.

Bad draw all round for me. Prices Pompey set last round v Macc may be some guide?:

Pompey have cut ticket prices for their Emirates FA Cup first round clash with Macclesfield (date/kick-off time tbc).

Seats will cost just £12 for adults, £8 for seniors (61+), young persons (17-22) and special concessions, and £4 for juniors (under 17).

Crowd: 9,834, so minus comps and directors circa 9,700 at a guess, and with a 70/15/15 split on the prices above a gate reciept fo around £98,940, which would be £82,450 net of VAT, and assuming 5% expenses each club would get just over £39k.

Pure estimates but I can't see it being a million miles out.

Unlikely to be a main TV game but highlight games got £6,750 on Sat and £12,500 on Sunday, so we could be looking at a 2pm Sunday 'live single camera or highlight game' and net around £50k in total.

A reunion with the snake.

Re: F.A.Cup Rnd 2 -V- .........
 

As much as it is a poor draw as in it is away from home.....why do I get the impression some are so resigned to us going out of the cup ???? Snakey, who is under immense pressure to deliver the goods at Pompey , won't relish locking horns with Stanley and Coleman again.....:eek:

..........they have a less than impressive home record.....scraped past Macc in the last round......we on the other hand have nothing to fear !!!! They couldn't breach our defence in a league game, we had chances to win that game.....so it suggests a tight affair which could go either way ????:confused:

Granted....we won't have much of a following......but I'm sure we'll give it 200% and give it our best to get a result !!!:D

Personally, I think we'll be in the hat for the Third round.....be it winning at Fratton outright or taking it to a replay at the CROWN !!!!
:rolleyes:

Re: F.A.Cup Rnd 2 -V- .........
 

Don't forget the £27,000 we get for beating them! :)

Re: F.A.Cup Rnd 2 -V- .........
 

this could go either way but have faith in Stanley as we seem to play better away from home as we seem to be set up to counter attack. would be nice to do the slithery one as well. am I imagine something but were round 1 and 2 of the fa cup regionalised until a few years ago as I don't remember playing southern sides when I was younger.
