They should draw the 4th round the same day as the 3rd.
Charlton or Wrexham/Oxford vs. Arsenal or Tottenham (or other PL team or local derby) might get a few more people interested.
I know that it can go the other way and we could get another snoozer in the 4th round, but then there would be a possible pathway to the last 16 to keep us interested.

Christ. Don't get Matt Smith to do it. He struggled to read or hear correctly during that shambles this afternoon
I don't know why there is such pessimism on here - I know we have a dreadful record in cup competitions, but its FA Cup 3rd round day so I. for one, will be going. Also, we can't put out a "weakened" side, as our 1st choice 11 is weak anyway !!
Not assuming anything Len. Both are banana skins but we should be confident of beating Oxford after dispatching of them comfortably back in August. With a second string side.
Wrexham are a league below them so we should be equally confident there.
Of course anything could happen but this is a lot different to Northwich lot.

I reckon there'll be about 5-6,000, including 1,000 or so away fans.
I'd like to see Wrexham get through. They have a good cup tradition and a 100% record against us in the League and FA Cup (not that this particularly distinguishes them or is anything to shout about).

Not a bad shout but as you said if the potential tie is Middlesboro or Hull for example, then the whole "Let's concentrate on the league" attitude will kick in.
Could opportunity to scrabble together some money from a decent cup run, already seen Oxford play haven't we and last Weds I played a rather boring Uni match at Wrexham and ended up watching them train for 75mins of the match! They looked a decent outfit, and they weren't exactly taking it easy on each other!
Oxford have a bit of a "naughty" rep don't they ? I remember a game at Oxford (might have been early 90s) and have a vague recolection of some aggrovation.

I think your right PL , it must be all those Oxbridge types.

I think it's the Town working hard not to be labelled as Gown. Wrexham have their fair share of nutters too.
Can we get this excuses thread up - I have mine lined up already.

Im guessing Oxford should win that one... But I sense a bloody pattern forming here as its been Huddersfield (FA Cup), Oxford (League Cup), Hudersfield (League Cup) Oxford (possibly FA Cup)

Two words: Northwich Victoria.

I reckon it should be re-drawn! (I wish)
