FA Cup Opponents - Page 2

If you want the biggest crowd, and therefore the most cash, you'd be looking at Leeds or Leicester away (22,000); anyone fancy going there? Thought not ........

Not a 'romantic' draw, but certainly one we could win, the way we're playing at the moment. I doubt they'll let us play Gornell, which is a real shame, because I really like the lad, but we won't win or lose based just on that.

Good draw? Good enough; we're in with a real shout. I agree with mersey-paradise (welcome!); proper F A Cup tie

Sorry for the confusion, I want to play teams like Alfreton Town to (hopefully) progress through to the next round and as I stated get some much needed cash (£20'000) !! Sorry again for any confusion.

You thought wrong.. We aint going to win the FA Cup so the best we can hope for is a nice trip to a big club. As above. Hopefully after a bit of a run.. But anytime will do.. Accy at Elland rd... why on earth do you think no one would want that?

we need to win a couple of games and have some sort of run in the cup Kipax. At this moment in time a cup run is the only thing that could possibly generate us some extra fans in the longer term. A trip to Elland Road might attract a few hundred extra Burnley fans onto our coaches but it wouldn't do an awful lot for our longer term prospects. Unless we went there and won.

Tranmere in round 1
Fleetwood in round 2
Huddersfield in round 3
MU round 4

My point exactly. If we just want one decent payday, then fine - Leeds away. For my part, I'd sooner play Leeds in Round 3 or 4, having won £20k for the 1st Round, more for Round 2, and tucked away some decent gate money for a couple of rounds into the bargain.

Who ain't gonna win the FA Cup? Must be our turn any season now ..........

Gornell refused permission to play for Accrington in FA Cup - Liverpool Daily Post.co.uk

Ronnie Moore on Gornell and no free or subsidised travel to boost our crowd.

Don't know why you bothered replying MACCA ....

Oldgobbin · 29-10-2008, 18:29

Quite agree, Kiwi.

I don't think this is a crap draw. We're at home in the cup. Every manager wants to be at home in the cup. Opponents are reasonably local so will bring a few fans and they're a team that, given a good effort on the day, we can beat and reach the next round.

I sat with anticipation... accy came out first..... then tranmere... I didnt even raise a smile.. i didnt jump up and down and certainly wasnt excited.... Did you go to tranmere a couple of weeks ago to watch us play them ???

Tranmere will be faveroutes to win.. i would rather play a team where we are faveroutes... tranmere wont bring a big following... its not a glamour tie and its a hard one to get through...

Therefore when the draw was made on sunday it was a crap draw.... hence my sattement its a crap draw is true

when you disect it later on and try to make it sound like a good draw... OR if we beat them 1-0 or 10-0 and it then becomes a good draw.... that doesnt change the fact that on sunday when the draw was made....it was far from a good draw

hands up everyone who thought it was a good draw the moment tranmeres name came out the bag... go on truthfully.. or hands up everyone who had home to tranmere on there wish list for the draw??

yes we could win.. yes it could turn out good... but it was still a crap draw for us... hopefully it will turn out good.... macca gets it... others get it... just think about it for a bit

fingers crossed we win and get through.. not saying we cant win it.. just saying it was a crap draw.. if you thought it was a good draw and you where delighted when there name came out the bag then good for you... i thoguht it was crap.... thats all
