Well done to Yeovil a great draw against Man Utd...Evo looking at Man City but he's got to get past Cardiff first!
Notts county with Premier league opposition at home.

Man Utd will offer Yeovil a 'bumper' pay day to switch to Old Trafford.

No, Man City have to come to them. Same as Yeovil though, IF Mansfield get through then I'm sure they'll take the big pay day to play at the Etihad.

Indeed...

They need to keep the bus ticking o'er ready for a sharp exit.

Is anybody bothered. Only thing I'm bothered about MK Dons away game date switched. I don't go to away games but like my away games on a Saturday. Can keep in touch with the score better.

gwru do you ever smile pal? It all sounds like doom and gloom when you post unless it's about Horses or Vaulkes.

Of course folk are interested, me included. I think the FA Cup creates fantasy football when you see the little clubs getting one over on the bigger clubs. There isn't another cup competition in the world that delivers this.

Long live the FA Cup. Would love us to at least reach the 4th round one day but alas we are like Dracula/Sunshine when the FA Cup comes around...we are s.hit scared of it.

Brin you enjoy whatever you like. Only football I am interested in is RUFC. My idea of heaven is watching NH racing on a Saturday afternoon keeping up to date with the Millers away. How do you think I tip horses. I watch horseracing. But go to all the home games. RUFC at home comes 1st.

They may want to but they can't.

For a long time now the FA only allow a change of venue on the grounds of safety or security (usually where a non-league club is drawn at home and their ground is deemed not fit). The venue cannot be changed for financial gain.

Even then the tie has to be switched to the nearest suitable ground - not the "away" teams ground.

Why do I recall where a few years ago Man Utd played a small club at Old Trafford when the away team had drawn the home advantage?

Can't for the life of me recall who or what the team was and what competition but they were a league team????

Brin will be watching the cup final. Not like it used to be Tarby's bar ect... Be watching World cup finals. See how good these players are without there world class club teammates.
