I feel quite invested in the championship relegation battle, if Oxford stay up that will be another localish game with small allocation (1400), now Rooney has gone Plymouth might make a go of it also small away end (1600) Looking forward to it 👍🏻

Hopefully in the interest of fairness they give priority to those of us who were there for the 7-1 defeat in 1996 That Man City allocation was funny, Rupert Lowe made a formal complaint and we got £10 tickets the following season for the new ground

I reckon with our relegation confirmed the club will come to some agreement with Everton where we just get 1200 upper tier tickets to allow more Evertonians to be there for the emotional farewell

I'm already thinking about next season getting 1000 allocation at Kenilworth Rd, 1200 at Wrexham, maybe 1800 at Wycombe, need to keep those away games up!

Hopefully they get to see us win or *at least* score a goal , new format of the FA Cup so even if it's a draw you get more value for money with extra time and perhaps penalties, that could be comedy gold watching some of our players take them.

Luck of the draw, that's the magic of the Cup. Getting me excited now, will need to dig out my cardboard cut out FA Cup covered in silver foil for the BBC cameras on Sunday

We've already got to one cup 1/4 final this season so we shouldnt be greedy expecting another run

Sounds like his move to Sheff Utd is very much on, shame as I think he could have been ok for us in right circumstances, never really recovered from the head injury he sustained first game of the season

I'm still scratching my head about it, can only assume they were given instructions for a game plan they really didn't understand

To be fair we do have a LONG time to plan and prepare for the championship, can even start scouting future opponents. Bit off topic but who do we want to come up from league one? I'm not a fan of the Hollywood documentary but would like to do Wrexham away , something to look forward to

You'd have thought Juric would be desperate to get a win under his belt and will put out his strongest XI, whatever he thinks that is

Yep and Sheff Utd v Cardiff is 7pm Thursday, terrible what they've done to this competition.

Lol We've got Selles, Ruben Selles Actually got more points in the Prem than Jones, Martin or Juric to be fair

Looks like we've sold about 6000 tickets, doubt it will rise much higher, I know we don't have a fans spokesman but clearly a "boycott" going on, we had about 23k in the same round last year v Walsall (pricing was better and sat 3pm) not many expected to travel from Swansea either. 4.30pm on a fucking Sunday evening just so BBC bloody Wales and BBC iplayer can show it , I'm sure millions will tune in. I'm ashamed to say I have a ticket. Still clutching on to the old days when the FA Cup conjured excitement in the fans.

This is remarkable

By the way this Brentford game was the club special £1 tickets for Junior Members, what a way to turn off the next generation 👏 Does anyone else buy the match programme? I do when with the kids, they like looking through it, this season you get to collect stickers with each edition, assume aimed at the nippers, they've got to be having a laugh with this week's choices

I do feel like the club are trolling us sometimes, that shirt presentation for guess the score adds to us being laughed at, ffs just go over and discreetly give her the shirt

This has to be the easiest money ever made, put more on Brentford when I saw the line ups pre match (Brentford still 29/20 for the win), would have loved to have lost the money but if bookies want to give it away rude not to take it

I agree, do you think now Martin has gone and they have no respect for the new boss? Something clearly not right with the attitude (on top of the ability and fitness)

Agree, the shrug of his shoulders said it all, needs to be put in a taxi back to Chelsea, they owe us a decent loan in replacement, preferably a striker

I was near the front of Kingsland, one of the many Brentford attacks that just bypassed our midfielders, Big Les looked at Big Joe, Big Joe held his hands out as if to say that was your man to track Les, and Les responds with a shrug of the shoulders, so truly despicable excuses for professionals. I did predict a there'd be some short term term worsening of performances when Martin left, players are all over the place, no fitness, no leaders, just drifting hoping they'll be put out of their misery. Dragan needs to publicly apologise to the fans, it's really damaging sitting through 0-5 home losses game after game , fans have turned up in numbers game after game and deserve better

Not good enough, I want my fiver back. Sack the board.

At least the local kids will get fed

That will be tongue in cheek surely or a Johnny come lately, I know a few Brentford and they'd acknowledge even their local rivals don't see them as a cup final, Chelsea, Fulham, QPR all traditionally bigger clubs / fanbases, I'd put Brentford on a par with Wimbledon as a club

Chelsea might want some assurances he'll play more? He's picked up a bit so makes sense to keep but should exchange Cornet for a different loan striker
