    £10 / £5 / £1 ticket prices a must to get a decent gate.

    Hopefully Neill and Jon don't play too many kids and non league players against the non league outfit, who will be up for it.

    Hopefully we are not the lead FA Cup story in the media afterwards. Just a quiet routine victory please.

    Normal match day prices 3735

    Decent ticket offer 4921

    Great opportunity to draw one of the big boys, such as Bolton or Derby, in the second round.

    Collliers only contributes on here every few months when he hopes to have a dig at me.

    Another epic failure.

    It was a joke mi owd, a joke, relating to the irony of the use of the term "big boys" by the media in FA Cup draws. Such a shame he has now become bitter and lost that sense of humour he used to have.

    Back to the BBS.and keep trying every few months.

    Its strange with me, years ago the fa cup was a big day in my footballing calendar but now a days I really have to push myself to find the start button , it actually killed it for me when teams were trying to pull out of playing & it seem to me that nowadays clubs only start to get serious from the 5th round onwards , apathy maybe , I don"t know but I just get the feeling that there is that much money & prestige involved in the premier league that the FA cup has become an inconvenience to the big boys , whilst the powers that be recognise this & keep altering the format to appease the premiership elite but sadly the gloss has gone off the competition certainly until the latter stages .
