Happy days for that one - never liked Danny Mouthty.
Fully expect us to take all our allocation as long as you don't have to have jumped through hoops to get a ticket. Neutral stand is part of the away end I think.
Was a dust up in the park next to the ground from memory last time.
Lovely drinking in Putney and their side of the bridge.
Didn't enjoy lunch or the wine that accompanied it then kings hill addick? Chill out, lighten up its the FA Cup we are the underdogs nothing to lose.......... this is our Cup Final COYR!

I must have missed something there. Lunch & wine?
I assumed that from your user name you came from that posh estate where the old West Malling airfield used to be and where the Hermanator lived no? Traditional Sunday lunch and all that, nice bottle of wine, nudge nudge, wink wink.
Ok I get you now. You're right, normally by this time we've already made quite an impression on the second bottle, but today we're at my wife's mother-in-law's and she always fails to serve up the roast until supper time so we're still waiting or it.
I can't see more than 12,000 Fulham supporters turning up. Their support is pretty weak, their focus is on Premier League survival and, to put the tin hat on it, they have a surfeit of games with the Europa Cup. We'll therefore have plenty of tickets and it should be a good day out. I nearly always enjoy a day out over there, our relegation season in 2006/07 being a notable exception.
One cloud on the horizon is Chelsea also being drawn at home ( to Pompey ), which may mean that we're bounced onto the Sunday by policing requirements / the Old Bill. I can't see both games being on Saturday and Saturday would probably be more convenient for most of our supporters.
I obviously am not very good at judging the capacity of stands. When I went Swindon had the whole end, so I'd imagine we will get the same. As suggested, thats around 7,000. Plenty of room, especially if the home fans don't fancy it (though it was pretty full two years ago, even though it was Swindon)
we will sell the 6k they give us no problem and if we need more i reckon they will sell us more. will be a good day unless they move it to sunday at a bizzarre time.
Airman, circumstances being different for every game, you cannot forecast attendances based on events having taken place that long ago.
At that time, both teams were in division 3, we were on a high, it was a 4th round and they had frustrated us at the Valley three weeks
earlier by drawing level a couple of minutes from the end of a game we had completely dominated.
I only wish this nonsense of having to have been to a number of previous games to obtain away tickets will be sorted soon. Acceptable
when grounds are in full capacity but it's practically never the case.
I those days, ground receipts were more important for a club's survival than today and it was a blessing to have the first come first served policy.
In that game, half their ground was filled with our fans. Superb atmosphere.
Oldies nostalgia understandable??
Not really basing my assumption on 1981, although we were top of the league then and you'd think the fact that Fulham are in the PL this time makes it more, not less, attractive. Plus we had much smaller home crowds then. I just remember people insisting last year that there was no chance of us selling out at Spurs, no need for restrictions, etc, which was complete twaddle.

When is it.

To Kings Hill addick..................I think you'll find that your wife's mother-in-law is in fact your mum !!
She is the only one that fails to see the humour in my insistence on calling her my wife's mother-in-law.
We are still waiting for lunch and I'm famished!
Any idea of prices or allocation?
