The FA Cup - 2013/14

Bolton will host Blackpool in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.  Certainly not an easy match or one of the "big"  teams some of us would have wanted.

Great fixture , cant wait.

Well done Mr sheringham.

What date is this fixture?

Either 4th or 5th of January.

A great draw imo. This game should be a doddle, I expect Blackpool to have at least 8 players on the pitch at the end.

I'd love a draw against a local rival that we don't play very often these days like Bury or Preston, but I suppose this is decent.

It would be fantastic if we could try and get a 20,000+ crowd with dirt cheap tickets.

It would be great if the club could price all adult tickets at say a tenner including the Donkey Lashers.

Good draw. Will be a shit crowd.

Wont be on sky due to the big dicks involvment and we will charge this as a cat A game.

The club don't give a shite about the FA Cup so why should we? It's nothing more than a trumped up practice match.

Fuck 'em. I'll be spending my Saturday interviewing for a new servant.

Can I apply?

I've got my own bucket and mop.

Nat, spend it in a brothel or on the Christmas markets, spend your time getting pleasure not wasting it on a servant, live more Nat, go and get off your face or get your feet done, I can think of so many more things.

If it was down to the club then maybe the tickets would be cheap but because it's the FA cup, the FA put a minimum price on tickets which is normally £15-20.

Expect a poor attendance unless we go on a great run until the start of January.

Cup run would be nice,and might get us a few headlines,but frankly the cup isn't the draw it used to be. I can take it or leave it these days.

The game will be played on Saturday the 4th January and tickets for adults will be £15.

Blackpool have been allocated 2,700 tickets.

That will be an official attendance of 3000 then... with 2700 Blackpool fans in the south lower.

il be honest, we may as well just let them have the whole ground, only about 0.2% of our 'regulars' will show up...

I thought you had to give the away fans 25% of the ground's capacity in the FA Cup?

Has that changed?

They will shut the upper tiers but I will certainly taking my dad to the game and for £20 for the two of us you can't complain.

What a great fixture for a cheap as chips price, it could be a sell out.
