With the FA Cup game the following Saturday we should play our strongest 11. A great chance to get that quarterfinal place.
Fulham didn’t impress versus Cambridge with their cup team yesterday so hopefully they will play a similar 11

Very decent draw, AP is always special under the lights and we’ve got half a chance of getting thru.

Avoiding our usual away to (least attractive side left) .
Hopefully our elite projectile army won’t be on duty.
Was it ever proved that this took place? To be honest it sounds like bollocks to me, and presumably we would have been fined if it were proven to be true, which I don’t recall happening.
Beautiful draw. My concern is that this may ditract from the Cup.

Given that the coins whistled past above my head I can confirm true
In the sixties I used to go to Loakes Park as a lad with my dad. At the end of I think it was the 1967-68 season Oxford Utd played a friendly with Luton Town. United had won division 3 and Town had won division 4. At half time they went round with a blanket for a benevolent fund. Everyone was throwing coins into the blanket. One hit me on the back of the head, splitting my head open and hurting like buggary. Thankfully I never went on to support either of these teams.

Sorry I meant to add that I went to the Oxford game because my uncle who was an Oxford supporter asked me to go with him and my cousins.
Crowd between 5 and 6000 I reckon, watching Fulham reserves. Not sure I’ll be tempted up from the South Coast for this. It’s always so difficult to get back with the numerous night time diversions and closures.
I thought that too but we sold about 8000 for Villa last season. Fulham will bring their full allocation so hopefully it’ll be closer to a sell out.

I had no idea that Grimmer played for Fulham! Everyday’s a school day!

it’s half term - let kids in really cheaply and we sell it out
market it as allowing your kids to experience a game “under the lights” etc

I totally get the cost and transport issue for ‘another game’ but there’s been some very downbeat posters on FB. It’s a last-16 tie with nothing really to lose, everything to gain, at home to decent top flight opposition who’ll bring a crowd. Half-term, under the lights, and hopefully our tails will still be up by the time we play the game. Winner, winner.

I know it’s been a miserable season, but if you can’t get at least a bit excited about a Premier League team at home in the last sixteen of a cup competition it might be time to find a new hobby.

Very strange reactions…winnable home tie to progress in the third most important domestic trophy and it’s underwhelming? People must lead far more exciting lives than me.
(I accept this is possible…)

I think we’ll sell out, or at least get close. Not sure we’ll have a bigger match this season. Hope we do obviously!
A very winnable game against PL opposition for a place in the quarter final. Should have no trouble shifting tickets for that.
