FAO Everyone moaning about the FA Cup draw.


Recommended Posts

IMO, it is a winnable game against a team not in great form, with fans who get on their team's back whenever they dont look like performing.

 

I live in Nottingham, and have been to the odd Forest game this season, including the 0-0 draw against Blackburn. If they play like they did that day, and we play like we did yesterday, we will do them over. Plus, any team that loses to Ipswich doesnt deserve a good cup run!

Yeah 90-100k. Thats not bad, could've been a lot worse (MK Dons/Trannies away come to mind).

That's if they get an average gate. We had about a thousand off our average gate yesterday. Sheffield United only had about 6,500 home fans yesterday when they get about 17,000 normally. Plus I think gate receipts is after stuff like police and stewarding costs.

Our cup record

FA Cup ties 202 Ties won 105 Ties lost 97 Goals scored 427 Goals conceded 399 Clean sheets 63

Which means Latics have entered the competition 97 times, because every club only loses one F.A. Cup tie each season, whether it's in the first preliminary round or the Final, unless they win the trophy. :curtains:

Interesting read here!

To compensate for this, the FA expanded The FA Cup, making all ties apart from the semi-finals and the final itself two-legged matches.

 

Although as it happened, we played 2 two-legged ties - winning both matches in the first one, winning one, losing one in the second - so your 97 figure may still be correct! Wonder if the 'ties' is really counting ties, not matches?
