I'm sure you are right, and a crowd of only 13-14k

February has 4 home games in 18 days now, that's a tough sell 

7th Feb - Watford (home) 

14th Feb - Leicester (home FA)

21st Feb - Charlton (home) 

24th Feb - QPR (home Tues night)  

Four homes and no aways in a whole month...? One for the statos... When was the last time that happened, if at all?

Gotta be as rare as a competent decision from our owners....

The Leicester away game will probably still be in February, maybe even the same week. 

Visit Sheffield Wednesday at the end of the month too.

We're away on 28th Feb to Sheffield Wednesday 

But point being so many home games will dilute how much people are prepared to spend on a Cup game and as @Hatch pointed out it's Valentines day and they have other activities planned with loved ones

Wouldn't surprise me if it was moved to the Sunday which would make it extra shit.

What a meh draw that was. Still, at home and a decent chance to keep that commemorative shirt going.

The question everyone wants to know is will we wear our limited edition kit?!!

Well, it will be our last opportunity..

[Dr Who?]

Dull, but winnable. They only have one decent player in Fatawu, who seems to be the only one who is bothered to give any effort, that can turn it on at any time and win the game.

It's possible but struggling to find a less interesting tie , perhaps Norwich v WBA , our game would get zero neutral viewers

Won't be on TV here but they pick some odd games for broadcast abroad.

Think Hull Blackburn was one weekend just gone?

I think Jordan James has been their best player this season.

The fact we might (Hopefully) wear the commemorative shirt is the most interesting thing about this game.

Need sensible pricing for this one. Tenner for adults and a fiver for kids should generate a decent crowd.

Just seen that Ipswich travel to Wrexham on 14th for their FA Cup tie ahead of their next league game on 21st which is a trip to Wrexham.

[Pamplemousse]

Dull tie but it could've been worse. 

We're 3 wins away from a Wembley appearance...

Could be worse. Time for the coaching staff and board to read how to play football books and get us playing football. 

All they have to do is watch how Barnsley played last night and copy that spirit.

That’s a big old drive for the fans. Players and staff will fly of course.
