Southampton V Cheltenham - FA cup 2nd round

[Sour Mash]

Not sure about tv games - surely they've got to announce them in the next day or two, therefore they won't know the outcome of any replays?

Kate Garraway has got big jugs to be fair.

 

we don't welcome that sort of sexist nonsense on here, thank you very much.

My dream tie (well, almost....) for the following reasons

It's at home

We should win it

I have always had a soft spot for Cheltenham, having worked up that way a (good) few years ago

& they are one of very few teams in the league I never seen Saints play, or even seen play someone else.

So eff off your glory-hunters, I'm happy

[docker-p]

Oh the delights of sub third round draws. Winnable though.

[Dr Who?]

Rubbish draw, but the chance to play a top flight team in the 3rd round I suppose!

Them or us?

[Badger]

I wonder if Mr Lowe will turn up, isnt Cheltenham his home town?

 

Yes, indeed he is.

[JRM]

Let's hope Cheltenham allow us to do £10 tickets for the next round, with peterborough at home on the 20th and Brighton at home on 23rd, both of which are big home games in the context of our promotion challenge, I can see people spending their money on those.

 

It's not a bad draw though and will hopefully see us through to the 3rd round, I love the cup and the buzz of the draw, keep getting good home draws and who knows how far we can get.

[georgeweahscousin]

Decent draw from what was available, and gives us a good chance of the 3rd round and a decent fixture.

[JRM]

Shame it won't be on telly as I doubt I'll be arsed to go to this one either.

 

Why are you bothering to comment on here then?

That's a strange question.

 

Are you trying to make a point? If you are, I suggest you attempt to articulate it rather than posing obtuse questions.

Dan Lobb grew up in Colden Common and went to Thornden School in Chandlers Ford - he was always pretty good at Football but better at Tennis - he was a Tennis professional for a couple of years. Funny thing was he probably wasn't the best Tennis player at School.

 

It's funny when you see people you went to school with on TV. His greying hair makes me feel old though!

[JRM]

Pointless game not worthy of your time in attendance, yet no doubt you'll fund plenty of time to comment about it on the internet. You can then come out of the woodwork for the big draw in the 3rd round.

Don't get smart, son.

Again, wtf is your point? Are only people who intend to go the match allowed to comment on the draw?

 

Stop being a tit.

 

I am making a comment about the draw. My view is that I am completely ambivalent and probably won't bother with the match. That is a legitimate comment on the draw. As for the "big draw" in the third round - I might go; depends if the match in question is attractive or not in terms of time and effort to attend. The same as league matches. I won't be going to Carlisle away because it is a massive effort and not worth the time and cost. I did, however, go to Bristol away and Notts County away because I believed the time and effort involved would not outweigh the utility to be gained from going. This is how most people decide whether or not to do something.

I know the Cheltenham Chairman, Paul Baker, I'll have a word with him and try to convince him of the sense of £10 tickets.

Wait 'til the grey ones start to appear on your dome. You won't like it matey.

[View From The Top]

Can't see me heading down for that with the expense of the next 4 home and away games but I do hope that they get to price it in a way that it attracts plenty of youngsters. £10 for adults and kids for a quid should see a decent turnout.

[dune]

Not a very appealing game, but that should be us through to the third round.

Grey's nothing. Wait 'til it turns white!

 

Pleased with a home draw but I suppose it'll be another empty, echoing stadium with no atmosphere. Unless we have a sensible pricing and seating policy, that is.

[Benali Saint]

I am looking forward to it.

£10 and £5 tickets plus give a load out to school kids and clubs. 3 home games in 7 days is a bit of a dilemma

See further up the thread .... 'all' must pay for FA Cup games (I use the word 'all' advisedly but you get the drift).

Minimum £10, seniors and children may be lower by mutual agreement, 50 complimentaries per club, passes for directors, football scouts, press, representatives of the FA etc., 2 for the FA sponsors. Between half-time and the end of the match the Home club must provide the Visiting club with a statement of the total admission and gate receipts. Round 3 is £15 minimum!

[Wilko]

I'll be sitting in an office in Cheltenham, reading the updates on the web.

What about a really novel approach, you only get access to a 3rd round ticket if you go to this one...

 

Remember this lads if you can't be Rrsed to go, don't you think that Cortese and the players will soon get the message and not be Rrsed either if only a few thousand bother? Do you really want to drive Lallana and Cortese away for good.

 

Come on rally round we are supposed to be some of the best and most loyal species in the land so let's show it by getting off our Rrses and getting up to SMS, Cheltenham or not - after all it's a step towards Wembley; we are going all the way this year, so 'tis written in the scriputures!
