City, Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal at home. Would love to take my ten year old son to a huge home game as he has never seen one of the the big teams at the Valley. Except Sheff Weds of course.
Am I the only one who finds it a bit disappointing when fans say things like "let's have the biggest team so we can get the revenue".
Is that what the FA Cup has come to now? Just a way to make money and run?
I want an away day to a big side simply because it would be great fun, a huge piss up and the players deserve the opportunity to have a bit of limelight.
THAT is what the FA Cup should be about for us fans.

I see your point and have fond memories of Portman Road and Old Trafford. The revenue for reaching the 6th round or even a Wembley semi is massive for the club and could make a big difference to the season financial performance which in turn affects how the new owner sees the club going. It might make a difference to players signing new deals and for Chris Powell too. So a piss up at Wembley and also the biggest cup run in my life time AND a few million in the bank please.
Home to a team that would hate our pitch, and might get complacent. I would like an away game at Cardiff, and we can all sing 'come on you reds' together.
