Wimbledon at home, then an away at Man city in a quarter final match!

No. Wimbledon at home, then if we win, the most winnable tie left. I'd love to see Rovers go as far as possible.

The problem is that we may get a tie that looks easy on paper and go out making very little out of it.

We usually do that anyway. I'd much rather have a genuine chance.

before we get to that it is much more important Everton at least don't lose to Millwall or else we have another "stinker" possibility

 forgot about  Swansea and then there is a "once little club" by the name of Brentford !!! maybe even Brighton - " last two are like all our yesterdays"

in fact there's a right load of dross in there Rovers excepted

f.f.s. Neverton lived up to their name   their manager looks like he is walking in dead mans shoes  and they say about never counting your chickens

anybody with any sense would take wimbledon even away  think of it this way should Portsmouth or Shrewsbury win their replays and get wimbledon or even any other division one club play each other in round 5 then Rovers chances of that £250,000 are very slim

Fourth Round Proper winners   (16)   £180,000
Fifth Round Proper winners     (8)    £360,000
Quarter-Final winners               (4)   £720,000
Semi-Final winners   (2)   £1,800,000
Semi-Final losers   (2)   £900,000
Final runners-up   (1)   £1,800,000
Final winners   (1)   £3,600,000

of course if portsmouth and shrewsbury get knocked out then we want an easier draw than Wimbledon  but the draw comes before the replays


just remembered we have one very slim card to play Barnet beating Brentford

Well I think there's only 4 big guns where you would say our chances are slim to non. The rest will not relish playing us and are winnable games.

I'm gutted that I wait over 60 years in round 5 and I'll be in Norway when it's played.
Let's hope I'm not the only one to see some Northern Lights.

Having never seen my team in R5 of the FACup, whoever we get, home or away, I will be there to see it.

If you get a ticket. Wimbledon or Newport away would be very limited tickets.

As a STH I would have a better chance.

It'll probably go on how many away games you've got registered on your account if there's a tiny allocation.

Would rather be at home though, get a big crowd in like yesterday and crank up the volume again.

Doesn't look like it is going to be Spurs.

Odds on getting a premier league side looking like less than 50%
If Spurs go out it leaves M.U, M.C. Palace, Watford, probably Chelsea and replays for Brighton & Wolves

Well we are due our day in the sun. I’d settle for the semi final, don’t want to be greedy.
Oh sod it I do, yes let’s go to the final.

No team from the 3rd tier has ever got to the FA Cup Final.
Only the League Cup. 50th anniversary this year of Swindon Town winning it in 1969.
Come on Rovers why can’t we make history in 2019
Well no harm in dreaming is there. :facepalm:

If we draw away, we simply must get a club that can accommodate a healthy away support.
Please not Newport or wimbledon or Shrewsbury or Barnet / Brentford. Please!

That is a third of the teams that could be in the draw with us then.

Chelsea,  Watford and palace all have away sections sub 3.2K,  considering we took 5k mid week to arsenal it will be a proper scramble for tickets.   Ive only done 3 away games this season,  so I suspect will be well down the list if we are away.

1800 at Brentford in 2013. We won’t need more than that will we? Not for Brentford as not a glamour tie. If it’s Chelsea we will take 4.500/5000

Brentford might not be a glamour tie normally BUT this time it would be the fifth round of the FACup.
Something that not many of us will have ever seen us play in.

Well unless Spurs score 2 in the next few mins it won’t be a repeat of Feb 1956

There were many that wanted to go to Brentford but simply could not get tickets. They did not make general sale if memory serves.
The demand for tickets will be huge.
It’s the fifth rd of the cup. As someone has said we took 5k to Arsenal mid week.

If we get a ground of less than 3k then tickets will have to be prioritised for season ticket holders who have also been to cup games then season ticket holders then I'm guessing past ticket purchases this season.

Now if we are at home I would hope we can sell as many home tickets as possible without giving the away side the extra section have 3 full sides of home fans
