A lower league team would have been better for us,Tranmere will be a mountain to climb lets hope we're on top of our game for this one and their on a off day.. anyone know what the cost will be to get in or will it be at normal league match prices ????

I totally agree with Kipax - it was a crap draw. Last season we drew Huddersfield at home in the first round, the gate was 2202 and we had to share this with Huddersfield so we made next to nothing out of the game. The Tranmere game will probably end up the same. How many season ticket holders will miss this game because they have to pay at the gate? There were a few missing last season against Huddersfield. Bradford City are a prime example of missing season ticket holders in the FA Cup. Last season they averaged over 12000 in the league. The tuesday before the FA Cup first round they played Chester at home with an attendance of 13211, on the Saturday they played Chester at home in the FA Cup (all pay), the attendance was 4069. Barrow away would have been a better draw, a bigger gate, more chance of winning and the possibility of being on TV (worth about £75000). The only chance we have of making anything out of the game is to win it. So make sure that everybody turns up, pay their money and get behind the team.

Exactly. There are worse draws we could hve got when you look at the list of teams in it. More intriguing is if Godwin Antiwi will play in the game. He's on loan to Tranmere until January but its Liverpool's call on whether he can play

there are definitely a lot worse draws we could ahve got... i can think of loads of far worse draws..... that doesnt make this a good draw though does it

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

We'll bring about 1,000. You determine whether thats good or not?

Its relative... its better than most teams would bring... but I would swap it for an easier tie and less fans... you determine wheter my way of seeing it is good or not?

1,000 for a 1st round cup tie is pretty decent.

You can have him...

Yeagh so we both agree on that then eh... no one was saying it wasnt.. your not from altrincham are you.. you seem fixated with the amount of fans

Its great.. But as I say.. would rather 20 away fans and an easier passage through... oops repeating myself

If you read it slowly its actually a compliment to Tranmere

I couldnt care less about your progression though.
