Millwall ticket stub holders should get first dibs.

I kept hold of my Plymouth stub all those years ago. I really hope they use it to identify proper Blades for the Wrexham game.

Remember them visiting - they were in Sheffield as Wrexham were playing Chesterfield.
Think they took a pic near the peace gardens.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Fucks he on about?

The draw is a bit “meh” - the only reason I’m half looking forward to it is that it’s likely to be picked up by the channels for live coverage. No chance of a ticket from a small allocation of 1200. Shame that. Still think we’ll take plenty down without tickets for the

Let me sleep on it.

 

[ShropsBlade]

Hope we absolutely hammer them just to shut some of their cocky fans up

I’m working in Wrexham at the moment and one thing they are not is cocky.Thick I will give you

None League club at home.. Hollywood stars almost certainly in attendance… I reckon it will be selected for live TV

Film Four ?

Lost to Chesterfield and Notts County.

Pretty sure we could compete with them.

They have won all their home games…against National League teams.

Not for one minute suggesting we take this lightly. There are some 71 league positions between the two teams though. There is no lack of quality in United’s team to take this seriously, act professionally and get the job done.

if they get the 1st goal, like all underdogs at home all bets are off.

I went to Fleetwood in JPT quarter final in 2015. do i get a ticket

The last time we played Wrexham.

That winner has got to be up there with the worst goals ever scored.

It always amuses me watching the old matches. It really looks like a poor quality of football. I wouldn't be surprised to see a league 2 team of 2023 wipe the floor with any championship side of that era

There's no such thing as a worst goal we've scored!

 

[Karaoke Blade]

I'm not sure it will be on live TV..the only live games seem to involve anyone playing prem clubs..

I suspect it'll be on lunchtime Sat or Sun.

 

[reedy63]

Should be on tv BBC hopefully. 12.30 pm Saturday kick-off would be good as well.

 

[Keen Blade]

Can anyone tell me when the FA Cup away allocation changed from 25% to 15% ?

 

[Aston max]

Steve's retired tha knows


How's dinky doing

 

[Keen Blade]

wont be an easy game illiman definetly needs to be on the bench for this one i would start jebbo and billy for this one maybe even osula if his bans finished mcatee on the bench as well game perfect for basham and doyle

Whole team including Ndiaye should be ordered to wear steel shinpads

 

[Varkanoid]

I think he means the Wrexham howler as the defender takes out the goalie who went walkies, not the way we scored it.

Had passed my driving test not long before , and decided to take the car . Coming back they had closed the Snake Pass due to heavy snow . Hadn't got a clue what to do , so just decided to go for it !! Snow was banked up deep on the sides of the road but my trusty VW Beetle made it with no problem !!

Quick reminder that our current form of the past 11 matches, post the gift draw to Norwich has been P11 W9 D1 L1 F20 A7. A win percentage of 82%.

As we don't have an away game for a few weeks, the away form approaching that game will read P7 W6 D1 L0 F11 A3 with 4 clean sheets. A win percentage of 86%.

This is an interesting draw because it's not boring. I don't think anyone has disrespected them saying they are Non-League, this will be a walk in the park. We are simply not that sort of club and regularly find ourselves as historical underdogs despite our recent Premier League experiences

No issue with them being confident getting a home draw. No issue with them seeing a fellow Championship team as winnable after just having beaten Coventry. Though it's worth noting Coventry played a weakened team (serves them right) and despite 10 men for most of the second half, still had 61% possession, 22 shots to 9 with 10 corners to 3 and also hit the woodwork twice (just like we did when we lost to Coventry when they only won with a daft penalty after we dominated).

Be confident. But don't be disrespectful. I don't quite get the immediate, 'that's winnable' and 'we can beat them', 'they don't realise how good we are' type comments. Given the documentary we know they are a well funded National League team with a guy that was top scorer in League Two as their main asset and a big lad as his partner who used to be at Wimbledon.

But I think they need to reign in a bit of the disrespect that some are showing.

We are not the higher up prima donnas that turn up expecting to win. We are the hard working, high press, passing but can mix it, team who defend like Trojans and who have no lack of potency up front, be that quite possibly the best forward in the Championship or the Championship's all time leading scorer.

We won't take this lightly and as shown by the efficient dispatching of Millwall away, a daunting away fixture for many, we can make half a dozen changes and not weaken the first XI. We were still missing Lowe, Norrington-Davies, O'Connell, Clark, Fleck, Osborn, Arblaster, McBurnie, Brewster. Khadra yet were levels above a team that hadn't lost at home since mid-September,

Hopefully this can be a respectful, typical cup tie with any over-cockiness being dutifully punished.

just wanted to mention 5 pages in 8 hours about our 4th round cup tie. & away tickets anticipated to be some of the most highly sought after of the season so far. id argue also our most sort after away fa cup tickets for quite a few years. off top of my head arsenal at highbury

magic of the fa cup, is still very much alive & kicking. you just need to look in the right place

 

[Melbourne Blade]

This is an excellent draw. Loved the TV show and I always check Wrexham results now and often watch their highlights on yootoob. Production crew cameras and likely Rob & Ryan will attend with Becks & Sean Bean

 

[ShorehamRevolution]

Anyone reacon Friday night on bbc

BBC wales or that other Welsh channel s4c?

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Been a while. Remember going for a 4-0 loss and 5-1 win !!

Was there for the 4-1 loss we were fkg awful

 

[John Street West Terrace]

We’ll be getting reacquainted with our old friend Phil Parkinson , my last visit there was to see the nephew play against em , typical anti English welsh cunts acting up en route back to to car , ended up slotting one the wankers .
Last time with the Blades was us dip 1-4 about 83 ish .
Be a tough game on there own patch , expect it to be one of the live games & also expect there to be some bollocks there

 

[Liaminho9]

Pretty happy with the draw; we’ll likely get some coverage in Season Two of Welcome to Wrexham; as this is (not specifically due to us; more the fact it’s FA Cup 4th round at home against a side at the top end of the Championship) up to now their biggest game of the season.
Couple of ex-Blades to look out for; LWB Callum
McFadzean and Mark Howard in net.
Paul Mullin is a very good finisher so cannot be complacent with him.

 

[El Volví]

Racecourse Ground capacity: 10,771
Current average attendance: 8,543
Away ticket allocation: 2,000 ish?

It'll sell out for sure!

City. Sheffield is a city.

Bet they were secretly hoping for Wednesday.

You’re not really offended by that are you?

Seems like very respectful and tame banter imo.
