[Barrywedge]

No one likes us that's why we get sent to COVENTRY!

 

[Wallop]

‘Next week, we’ll see you all next week’

 

[Golden Dr Otto]

I wonder if the club will stream the install ?

No they’ll probably leave us all in the dark

 

[Sarge]

its pretty uninspiring , especially as the away league fixture is on Friday

I’d have preferred Braintree

 

[WarwickOx]

Meh...20 mins from my house.. can't complain.

Apart from being only 20 mins from Coventry, obviously.

If you can’t afford Oxfordshire - I suppose Warwick isn’t too bad

Needed to find castle to live in and couldn't find a big enough one in Oxfordshire.

Great response

Played Leicester one season in the early 90's in the League , League Cup ( replay involved) and FACup ! Strange how it seems to happen.

Didn't we play Sunderland 3 times in a week in the early 90's? FA cup, league, FA Cup replay?

 

[Northstandboy]

I won’t be going…..might go to the floodlight upgrade instead

When are the tickets on sale?

 

[Royalstandard74]

This draw is dependent on how serious each team take it and squad strength, if Coventry decide to make 8 changes to their first choice 11 like we did with Peterborough, then I think our first 11 would cruise it, but I hope we stick to squad rotation and give our all our squad a run out and give then much needed first team minutes.

 

[beyondthefourth]

Would be a real statement of intent if we could avoid defeat against an expected Championship front runner twice in a week, playing a greatly changed lineup between.

So Cov are robbing us £30 for the League game ........... wonder how much the cup game will be?

Was £15 in the FA cup last season wasn't it?

 

[Coffin Dodger]

Could be worse at least the league cup is only one leg these days

 

[East Stand Fan]

I'm beginning to understand how Peterborough feel about coming to us 3 times in a year. We'll be visiting the Ricoh the same amount having played them in every competition. League is the only one that matters although it would be nice to win one of the two fixtures. Not too fussed about a cup run seeing how many big sides and money we're getting this season.

 

[Mad Dog]

Anyone lower league at home - get to R3 for a big fish.

We ARE a big fish now..

 

[Northstand Grandad]

I seen to remember this happening with Rochdale around November 2004

I remember this happening with tranmere

Found it (thanks to RageOnline). 1989...


Saturday, FA Cup away draw. Midweek FA Cup replay at home, then all back to Sunderland again the following Saturday for a League game. 3 times in a week, 1 win, 1 draw, 1 defeat.

 

[Sarge]

I’d have preferred Braintree

I'd have preferred (almost) anyone, apart from Coventry away, just days after playing them away in the league

Yep, and I saw all 3 of them. A lot of miles covered. The 1-1, iirc, was a really entertaining game and the 1-0 defeat was unsurprisingly a really cagey affair. Strangely don't remember much about the win though.

 

[Stranger]

Wasn't one of them Sunderland games filmed for a TV show or something? Vague memory of a camera crew there

 

[swolley]

Yes the show involved a character called Uncle Eddie, I think, played by Frank Windsor (of Z cars fame) It was an early drama about a paedophile ring if I remember correctly.

We have one down the village...

 

[Essexyellows]

Can we agree to double up on Friday? Winner gets 3 points and a by in the cup!

Probably the best idea you`ve ever had.

 

[SteMerritt]

Probably the best idea you`ve ever had.

Not really a high bar to clear though for that is it...

Could there be an any more 'old actor' name than 'Frank Windsor'?

 

[outsidethebox]

Would have been delighted with this draw a year ago. How times have changed .... for the better.
