FA Cup 25-26

Manchester United at Ewood please

plymouth away🙂

An away tie. 

We've got a better chance of winning away from home.

Plus at Ewood the game might not start/finish and we can ill afford more postponements and embarrassment.

They are out thankfully.

2nd best football day of the year, Third Round draw day. I hope we get Everton away.

No thank you.

Everton or Tottenham away, as I doubt I’d ever see Rovers at those places otherwise.

Everton away is a good shout. New ground. Relatively local.

[Mattyblue]

This is what those scumbags have reduced me to, hoping for a ‘big day out’ somewhere as it’s obviously totally unrealistic to expect to move up one whole division.

Back before these bastards darkened our door we had guaranteed annual trips to Old Trafford, Anfield, Goodison, White Hart Lane, the Emirates and Eastlands.

Call me old fashioned, I want a tie we can actually win, not a day trip out to a shiny new stadium or a home tie where we'll get battered!

[Mattyblue]

I’d rather have a Weston Super Mare, but if it is to be a PL away game, rather those two than a ground we saw regularly (you know from when we were a top football club pre November 2010)

[RevidgeBlue]

I think any tie against someone not in our Division has a bit of curiosity value, the easier ( on paper) the better for me.

I think the worst possible  ones are draws against other Championship Clubs we play routinely anyway.  Particularly if you'd expect them to beat us (away at Coventry/ Boro etc)

Not until the 6th round.

The worst team possible. Thump then and build confidence

Yep. Just to clarify I would always prefer a lower league side at home and a better chance to progress.

I think I'm thinking more what would be an interesting tie.

If we got most premier league clubs away I'd just think FFS. But Everton do have a local, shiny new stadium that we haven't been to so, like Wrexham away this season, it comes with a lot of novelty value.

And it rains and the match is abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch in front of the world.
