It will me - I don’t want to watch our reserves play and they won’t be v Chelsea - I’m not going to watch ChelseaChippycafc said:Typical, try to go to all the cup matches no matter who we draw. And I am away in Scotland that weekend. Told me mates we would draw a cracker now i can't go.
Wonder if a few of those cup stay aways will for this one.0 -
Annoying. Was hoping for Huddersfield. 😔9

Was hoping for one of the dullest 2 hours of my life watching our squad players play against Walsall or burton or similar - and lose0

Should this end up on TV what’s the schedule and how ‘inconvenient’ could it get if we are unlucky ?
Is the worst scenario 530pm on the Sunday or are there some other obscure options?1 -
I've got no prize to offer and I'm not going to faff about trying to collect monies in, but if people wanted to play just for fun I'd be happy to organise something. If this post can get 20 or more Likes, I'll set something up. Unless you were planning your own one @JustFloydRoad, in which case I'm definitely interested.JustFloydRoad said:

Forgot about tv’s ability to ruin a game - hopefully they will have seen our slump and decided there’s nothing to seeForeverAddickted said:

Hopefully Friday night or Saturday 5:45. Either would make for a class atmosphereForeverAddickted said:

If there are that many slots, then it's practically guaranteed that this is on TV.ForeverAddickted said:

In my opinion, there are three very obvious TV options:
Wrexham v Nottingham Forest
Macclesfield v Crystal Palace
Boreham Wood v Burton Albion
That leaves six slots and I'm struggling to see anything else more TV-worthy than Charlton v Chelsea. To keep this off TV, the other six would be from these eight:
Portsmouth v Arsenal
Cheltenham Town v Leicester City
Franchise FC v Oxford Utd
Sheffield Wednesday v Brentford
Manchester City v Exeter City
Liverpool v Barnsley
Tottenham v Aston Villa
Manchester United v Brighton0 -
There's a full round of Premier league games in the midweek before the cup, so no PL teams can be selected for any Thursday or Friday night games.
Arsenal v Liverpool is on the Thursday night, which means their cup games can't be on the Saturday.

Let's hope they put out the 4th string team.

Seems like the balls weren’t mixed up properly as 10 plays 11. Much better than Burnley away, though (9 v 10).0

Mine too. His first away was probably around 2009/2010 against Brentford. He’s done Man U and Spurs (home end thx to a Tottenham ST acquaintance) but we’ve had as much fun(?) at Colchester and Port Vale. Away would have been nice cos I haven’t been to the Bridge for 25+ yearsgolfaddick said:MartinCAFC said:
I’ve done 72/92 current grounds of which 9 of the 20 outstanding grounds are in the Prem. Of the 9 outstanding in the Prem 6 of those have since moved to a new ground having been to the old so call it 78 if you like.WSS said:
You’re old. There’s a whole generation that’s never seen us at at prem ground. Not sure how old Martin is, mind 🤣Covered End said:
Blimey, the amount of times I’ve seen us play at Stamford Bridge must be close to double figures.MartinCAFC said:Would have preferred it away to tick another ground off but home will do nicely.Ticket prices of £42+ put me off in the Prem years and our last visit there was also in 2006? Would imagine a large section of our support has never seen us play there.
My son for instance. Born in 2003 & probably starting taking him in 2006 or 2007. Only started taking him to away games in 2008. Seen us at Fulham & Man U in the cup but no other Prem teams. Gutted that we we finally played West Ham it was under lockdown rules.
Funnily though he is buzzing for this one. When I asked wouldn't he have preferred it at Stamford Bridge he said no because we probably wouldn't have got a ticket.0 -
tv companies will be chomping at the bit to show that cracker at turf moor - got goals written all over it 😂thai malaysia addick said:Seems like the balls weren’t mixed up properly as 10 plays 11. Much better than Burnley away, though (9 v 10).0 -
I wonder if the club will see an opportunity to make a few quid and up the prices.Almost certainly they'll do some 50/50 scarves as well

Maybe they just really didn't want to have to go there or come to us and thought booing would help get them the better outcome.EugenesAxe said:

I think the games are spread between Thursday and Monday, so it's anybody's guess.

Really annoying that I come back from Australia on the 10th. Praying it gets moved to the Sunday1

I don't think the Blackheath line is going to be running on a Sunday next year.0

I think the booing 'Brackley fans' were really Ipswich fans .0
