Absolutely, possibly the tie of the round and a candidate for live T.V....should be another good away following, and hopefully enough home interest to necessitate the opening of upper tiers

Not the easy tie we wanted, they're better than we last faced them. So are we probably. There will be a big team not in the hat for 3rd round. Really hope we are.
However whichever team doesn't make it will have a promotion battle to fall back on. Think we should both be there or there about.
With the FA Cup don't we give more tickets away than for the league. They will bring a good crowd and it may get picked up by BT. Could be some money in it for us.

No doubt this will be a tough one. I was rather hoping for a "home" game with Lincoln away!! Still, this will be a good test of where we really are and frankly I'm not really fussed about the cup this year, much more concerned that we concentrate on the league. No doubt though that my pals in Sheffield will be wanting to go to this one so I'm hoping we perform better than the last time we played them when they beat us 1-0. Bet they will consider this harder than they'ed have liked too though at his stage.

Thanks Davidm, that's exactly what I meant. Sorry OM, I didn't make clear that I meant last time in the cup. 😕

I see that we are NOT one of the live TV matches.
Macclesfield v Oxford, Lincoln v Oldham and whoever plays each other in the Westfield/Curzon Ashton/Bury/Wimbledon match.
We are one of the Sunday afternoon games that BBC show goals from - 2pm kick-off

Actually I'm glad about that because a live game would have reduced our crowd considerably whilst I don't think Blades would be. I remember our last FA Cup match against them and our crowd was very poor then and the atmosphere awful. Hopefully everyone will turn out this time and give the lads some backing. I'll certainly be there and I hope others will too. COYWM.

I see from the club website that only the lower tiers of the North and East Stands , and block A of the West Stand, will be open for home fans..at £ 15.00 for adults (£13.00 for season ticket holders), and £5.00 concessions. I quite enjoyed my seat in the lower East for the Grimsby game, but would rather be up in my usual place in an ideal world! Hopefully there should be enough takers to fill most of the stands that will be open, particularly if the current league form continues.
