Yeah decent away day that. Port Vale, Macclesfield or Mansfield would be the other interesting ones for me as new/rare grounds. Bit northern though

Done it loads so probably one of the ones i'd want the least, of those left an away at any of Port Vale, Macclesfield or Mansfield would be my preference.

Otherwise given it should be a weekend game Bristol City would be great as Bristol is a cracking day out for pubs, in fact of the teams left the only one i wouldn't want is Wolves away, so Wolves it is then

[Turkish]

One of the big clubs away please so we can experience the amazing atmosphere at Anfield/Old Trafford/Emirates and get to see the amazing players they have.

I always love to see our players play like champions league superstars for a day...

[coalman]

It has to be Wolves so Armstrong can show us what we're missing.

[Pamplemousse]

The worst possible draw would be Port Vale/Bristol City. They play on the Tuesday before the 5th round weekend so good luck to any club having to sort out away tickets in a couple of days

I’ve done it a fair few times too but won’t go too far north these days and London always good for pubs. Cup allocation as well.

Yeah Bristol wouldn’t be took bad either

What a privilege that would be, might have to treat myself to a half and half scarf to mark the occasion

Fulham.

Correct ! 

[Verbal]

Fulham away is perfect (for me, as I don't have to leave the house more than five mins before KO).

Someone screwed up drawing Newcastle and Man City together.

Thankfully all the other big boys have avoided each other so that’s good to see 🙄

[Harry_SFC]

Could've been worse. Close ish trip and although unlikely we do have a chance. They only scraped past Stoke. 

[SW11_Saint]

Decent enough draw, great away day. 

[Baird of the land]

Pretty bad draw. Away from home against a solid prem side, that likely won’t rotate.

[SouSaint]

Should be looking at around 4,200ish tickets for that one. 

[Saint_clark]

Great away trip and chance of an upset.

[SNSUN]

Just realised the weekend of the cup game is the Saints vs Norwich game which i was going to take the missus to. Might have to go to Fulham with my mate instead as Fulham isn't far.

Not the best draw not the worst draw. I'd rather have had a bigger club but that's the luck of the draw. 

[OneMrsWallace]

That'll do. Their fans pretty much sit there in silence too, so great chance to take up our full ticket allocation and make lots of noise. 

[Nogginsfc]

Would be a decent away day if it was on the Saturday, but they have West Ham on the Thursday before, so will definitely be the Sunday or Monday.

[macca155]

Great draw, love Fulham away. Walk across Bishops Park in the Spring sunshine.

Dress smart and avoid the wine bars, I'm still in shock from buying a round there 😲

They will put a strong side out, as they'll fancy beating Saints. Nevertheless upsets happen in the cup. Saints are moving through the gears now.

Actually I cant read a calendar, it's  the Wednesday before, so could likely still be the Saturday 🤞

Bet they do, they will see this as an easy fixture.

[Barton Saint]

So far in this 50 year anniversary cup run;

Beaten a Yorkshire team away

(Doncaster = Bradford)

Beaten a Midlands team in extra time (Leicester =Villa)

Now a South London team virtually in Chelsea! (Fulham = Palace )

[Chez]

Fulham away in the FA cup. Lovely. Big away crowd, half a chance of an upset. Look forward to it.

Because it's the Champions League the midweek after and the fixtures won't be known until a couple of weeks time, it's quite likely that all the games involving those teams will be on the Saturday. It depends how flexible UEFA are willing to be. Which often they're not.

Not sure if they will schedule any games for the Monday (possibly West Ham v Brentford) but it might be 1 on Friday, and then 3 or 4 each on Saturday/Sunday

I think every game will be on TV so it's more likely it'll be on the Sunday than Saturday, simply because more games need to be on a Saturday and ours can be on the Sunday. If cannot be Monday as we play on Wednesday. It also depends if TNT want each game in a unique slot or not.

We'll find out by the end of the week anyway but I reckon it'll be the Sunday.

Shame we never got one of the big boys but Foolham (lol) are a premier league club so at least we get to see some great players. I’m possibly going to use this games to start my vlog so look out for me at the game

Boro got 4,200 in the third round but didn't fill that end. Hopefully SFC will push for the entire Putney End (5,900) but there'll probably be more demand for tickets from home fans for this one so can see them segregating it for Fulham fans/daytrippers. It was £25 tickets for Fulham v Boro.

[davefizzy14]

I'm happy with the tie that we have got 😊

We had the whole end last time we played there in the cup. Have to give us at least 4400 too.

The whole of the Putney end is nearly 6k ..I reckon tho we will get 5k

I think they gave us 5.5k when we played there in 3rd round 1-0 win a few years ago, should be enough tickets to go round, we've got a big trip up to Sheffield Wednesday week before in the league , sold about 2700 for that but we can have about 1000 more if needed. WBA away Wednesday after Fulham is also already on general sale so a great time for anyone who wants to go to away games

Around 3,300 sold for Sheff Wed so far and likely to sell out the full 3,750 so a lot of fans on the road in a few days.

Another carve up on the trains for the Fulham trip though.

[BARCELONASAINT]

The draw is a decent one IF we are serious about trying to progress to the next round. However the weeks leading up to the cup game will no doubt decide how much of a rotated side we put out!

If we continue our good league form and sit in one off the playoff positions or literally just outside then absolute priority has to be given to the league and i would expect a rotated side (certainly not our strongest)

That would be a real shame for the 4 - 500 who will travel. It depends on the level of rotation, certainly not the 10 we made on Saturday, that could be disastrous against quality oposition.

Bit of a stretch to call Fulham south london, i mean craven cottage is north of the river.

We've got a league game the Wednesday after so i'd assume given our season hasn't collapsed it will be something similar in terms of changes.

Doesn’t really matter  as apparently we can’t win it or we are too worried bout missing the opportunity to remember the season when we  finished 5th in the playoffs

Well it is south of the A4 and nearer the South Circular than the North..

Alfie house on tsp was saying this season has cost sports republic a lot in cash. Not really a shock that the club want to get back to the financial security of the premier league that playoffs offer.
