Fa Cup Fourth Round info.

[highpeakblade]

Fourth Round dates:

First and foremost the 4th round ties are to be played on the 25th / 26th January 2014 which is a bit of a ballache forthose of us who are going to Colchester away. That place has to be one of the worse away days in my opinion with it's middle of nowhere industrial estate location and feel to it. Doing it on a Saturday is bad enough but now it looks destine to be rescheduled for a mid-weeker which for me spells a day off work as it will be a latish one.

Fourth Round balls:

1 Coventry City
2 Yeovil Town
3 Liverpool or Oldham Athletic
4 Nottingham Forest or West Ham United

TV Coverage / Prize Pot:

Should we be fortunate enough to draw a "Millionaires play thing" team from the top flight and get selected for TV coverage then we instantly pocket £144,000, let's face it with 16 games to be drawn and considering our league position and the fact we just beat one premiership opponent, with the usual coverage of around 5-6 games I would say our 1 in 3 chance of being on the box looks very good but never the less I will still be there home or away. The Prize pot for winning and getting through the fourth round to the last 16 of the competition is £90,000.

And people wonder why teams are more interested in the £40m you pocket for staying in/getting to the PL...

 

[shorehamview]

ITV's first choice match will be an all-Premier League tie, or if there aren't any drawn out it will be the swankiest home drawn PL team. They'll want Man Utd at home, or Liverpool. The lower division teams drawn at home will get brief highlights.

The commentary will be Clive Tyldesley accompanied by the Moron King that is Andy Townsend, the biggest fuckmuffin to ever wield a microphone. They will mention the magic of the cup, big occasions, and Townsend will take about everything in plural. "The Wayne Rooneys of this world" and "You've got to take a shot at the goals" and other fucking inane drivel, because he knows no better and although he may be a lovely chap at home, when he's on the telly he comes across as a bumbling fuckwit at best. You may as well have a monkey trying to play a bugle and a kazoo at the same time in between Tyldesley's fawning, because it would make as much sense.

 

[Linz]

My choices are Southend, Kidderminster Harriers (if they get through) or Brighton, all away.

May as well get a ground in while we can

 

[CloughLove]

Somewhere in London so my train ticket to colchester isnt a complete waste of money!

 

[jt64]

Rochdale away so I can get rid of one of the few local grounds I haven't done would be nice

 

[s4-blade]

Blades are ball number 20 in t' draw but who do you want in t' next round. Personally I want somebody really beatable or a massive team. If we are gonna go out lets go out in style to somebody decent. Although after yesterday we can beat enybody.

UTB, FTP

 

[oaklandrdblade]

Not fussed myself but the young 'un wants us to get Man U, Man C, Arsenal or Liverpool away. Think she imagines it will be just like yesterday.

 

[Chezzy Blades]

Anywhere but Stevenage away, seen enough of that place to last me a lifetime.

 

[Torrix1889]

It will be Coventry away...

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

The commentary will be Clive Tyldesley accompanied by the Moron King

[SwissBlade]

Not a bad draw, Premier league side at home. Chances of it being on tv?

 

[Houso]

Strong I'd say. Although only BT.

 

[SwissBlade]

Strong I'd say. Although only BT.

Shite. So it may as well not be on tv then.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Great draw for us - neither of those sides will fancy it, hopefully we can pack out BDTBL.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

We'll definitely be on TV.

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

The Prize pot for winning and getting through the fourth round to the last 16 of the competition is £90,000.

Which will pay for Jack Wilsheres wages for a week .....damn

 

[blade too long]

Rochdale v macclesfield should be on telly

 

[gavtheblade]

If they charge £15 to get in,the lane will be packed and we can get the place rocking-no-one will know whats hit em.
Bring back the buzz blades.

 

[shorehamview]

A pound to a pinch of shit that ITV pick either Man City v Chelsea or Arse V Bindippers as their first choice match for the next round.

 

[WhiteHawk]

If they charge £15 to get in,the lane will be packed

Or not.......

 

[gavtheblade]

Or not.......

Tight arse feckers

 

[Selly]

A pound to a pinch of shit that ITV pick either Man City v Chelsea or Arse V Bindippers as their first choice match for the next round.

In fairness, why wouldn't they?

We are the lowest placed team in the competition left. And we have a shite draw from a "giant killing" POV.

 

[metalblade]

The pigs are once again having it easy will Wembley be big enough for their massive support should they get a free run to the semi's ???
