JHRover Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 I think it is a good draw for us. With the exception of Grimsby and arguably Sheff U at home I can't see any better looking fixture if you want to reach the last 4. Avoided the big 2 of United and City. Avoided the stress of the dingles Avoided the flying PL sides of Fulham and Brighton including long trek away days at teams you'd expect us to struggle against. With Sheff U of course it will be tough at a ground we tend to struggle at, but Leicester was one of those, and Norwich earlier on in the cup, and we dealt well with those. But it is a fellow Championship club who are by no means secure in 2nd place and will have Middlesbrough / perhaps even ourselves not far behind them soon. It is winnable and what a prize on offer. Lose and there's no shame away at a decent side. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby Blue Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 1 hour ago, Gav said: Went earlier in the season and they spanked us, we never got a kick, very good side. I’m also still traumatised by the loss in 91 or 92? Nicky Marker missed his penalty? All that said we are a better side now and this is winnable. When are we queuing for tickets? Is that still a thing 😂 Ive a feeling Jason Wilcox missed a pen that year - could have been in addition to Marker though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he should be pleased. Is the club making money a bad thing? Odd criticism. Initially disappointed about the draw but in hindsight, it’s much more winnable than the others bar Grimsby. We’ll be the underdogs but that could work to our advantage. We’ve got a decent shot at getting to Wembley so can’t complain. Any of the Prem teams or Burnley would have been a far tougher task.

We got knocked out of both cups in the same year by both Sheffield clubs. The United game went to penalties at Bramall Lane and Waddle and Warhurst tore us apart at Ewood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utd-Fulham will have to be Sunday (Utd playing on the Thursday before), which will make City the Saturday yep.....but yeah you could be right about the trains being a factor. Can't be long until they announce it can it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League position, I think that’s it. To be fair though (as much as it pains me to admit it), Burnley are well clear at the top of the league, so surely they’d be a shorter price than the other Championship sides… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garnersfags Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 We will have 5,988 tickets for the quarter final. Any thoughts on how many will go on open sale? I assume it will be season ticket holders, then something like away game ticket buyers, incl those travelling to Leicester, then open sale? Apols if this has been discussed.

Burnley have probably got less than a 10% chance of getting to the semi finals. I'd suggest Sheffield United have probably a 60/65% chance and Rovers a 35/40% chance.

Due to the size of allocation, I imagine it will be fairly standard, I.e: Phase 1 – Season Ticket Holders with 1875 Club Membership Phase 2 – Season Ticket Holders Phase 3 – 18 Game Package / HST Holders Phase 4 – 1875 Club Members Phase 5 - Open Sale As plenty of ST holders won’t bother, it should go to open sale. But I suppose it’ll depend on how many ST holders that aren’t bothering themselves ‘lend’ their ST number to someone else… Edited March 2, 2023 by Mattyblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is around 2988 more than I thought we'd get! Hopefully they don't move it to Monday night at 6.26pm or Sunday morning at 3.30am.........

United play Thursday night so will be Sunday meaning City will have to be Saturday. Which would also keep ourselves and Burnley separate. Edit: looks like it’s based on Spurs match who got 15% originally then additional 1.2k or so afterwards.

It's 15% yes, but if it works out at 4.8k, but the away end is 5.8k, they're not going to stick 1000 of their own fans in the corner and will more than likely give us the rest of it.
