Who do you want in the FA Cup 3rd Round?

[KiwiBlade]

Not a home draw. I hate seeing an empty sad looking Kop. For me AFC Fylde away, a chance to see a new ground near the coast (in January !).

I’d take AFC Fylde purely on the basis I could walk to the ground. Good little ground for a non league side though.

 

[BLADES1988]

I want a grudge match v Barnet. Or another lower league side like Woking. Not because it would be an "easy" match, its just for me what the FA cup is about.

 

[bongleblade]

Forest away or pigs away

 

[Badger Blade]

Any number from 45 downwards but watch us draw someone utterly uninspiring

 

[Revolution]

I used to say "worst team at home" because that's the best way to get to the next round, which is the main point of being in the 3rd round.

Realising, however, that the Kean Bryan Reserve XI could lose at home to Beighton Magpies under 12s if they put their minds to it, I am hoping, for the first time in my life, for us to draw the Pigs. Because that's the only tie we can get where we will try as hard as we do in league games.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

We haven't played Hartlepool away for a while

 

[bromtom]

I fully expect Wilder to not give a toss (which is within his rights as it's not the priority) but I'd love the shittiest teams at home all the way to the quarter finals when I think even Wilder would start to be interested in the cup.

Hopefully Verrips and some January signings improve our cup team so we have a chance to avoid a repeat of the last 3 cup games, where we've been shite.

 

[madeinsheffield]

No way Wednesday. We would more than likely play a second string side and wouldn’t want any chance of them shits doing us while we are in the form of our lives.

I can't see that Wilder would risk it, rest a couple maybe. Think he would see it as an opportunity to smash them out of the ground and go down in history

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

I hope we get Hartlepool away..... said no one EVER

 

[WhiteHawk]

We're shit in the cup so definitely not Wednesday. An away game at a ground I haven't been to before will do.

 

[billyblademan]

Preston at home. 8,000 crowd, and out we go.

 

[LardSardine]

Disappointing that there is only one guaranteed non-league side in the 3rd round (AFC Fylde).
Anyway, as Revolution said, doesn't matter who we get if we put the same level of effort in as we did against Barnet, Blackburn and Sunderland.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Total Network Solutions.

The don't exist anymore unfortunately.

 

[SRBlade]

Hartlepool away.

Even if Flinders is no longer there

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Anyone but the pigs. We are a far better team than them and should win if we do play them, but why give them any chance at all of being able to gloat about anything?

 

[Westran]

Rotherham away would be a good one, we'd sell out, the crowd would be a good one and there would t be too much to lose.

 

[DazBlade88]

Forest Green, Newport or a non league side away.

 

[Hague Blade]

The don't exist anymore unfortunately.

Aren’t they now known as The New Saints? And, what’s more, they won 0-12 on Saturday against Broughton. No easy games in the Welsh Premier League...

Could have been so so different had they not missed that chance in the 74th minute.

 

[JackSUFC]

Blackpool away.

 

[Sharrowblade]

I've got three tickets for Norwich this Sunday, but I don't think I'm going to make it because of Junior football, so I'm tempted to say them.

Ideally however, a non premier league team at a ground that my two lads haven't been to:

So any 1 from the following Six

Luton, Stoke, Pompey, Plymouth, Newport or Exeter.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Pigs away. We'll get both tiers. Inexpensive tickets. And would more than likely hammer the fuckers.

I doubt it mate, thinking back to their assessment of our chances when we finally made it into the Champ with the likes of likes of Basham, Fleck and Lundstram in the side....

 

[TheDevonBlade]

Gillingham as it's the nearest to Devon.

 

[1973Blade]

Gillingham as it's the nearest to Devon.

Gillingham is the nearest to Devon? It's hours away isn't it? Exeter are still in but drew to Hartlepool.

 

[MCRBlade]

Reading away - great ground and great atmosphere...

 

[North East Blade]

I hope we get Hartlepool away..... said no one EVER

Me

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Really hope we get someone like Fylde.

Know that we're going to draw someone like fucking Middlesbrough.

[RedandWhite]

Pigs without a doubt. To top this season off would be a battering of them and then finish top 10 PL would be absolutely lovleh

 

[SelbyBlade]

I would like a team that our squad players could beat to get them some more game time together. So the pigs would do.
