[stokeu]

Spurs, Arsenal , Villa or Salford United away please.

From a purely personal perspective, this is a great draw for me as its only a 20 minute drive down the M69.

 

[Leysboy]

With the balls left.... would you have liked PV...or Stevenage....???
It's an alright draw

No I’d of preferred Wolves home or away.

Good benchmark for us to see how we compare to a lower mid table champ team.

Think our allocation will be around 4000. I seem to remember it being easy to park there from the league game a few years ago.

Nice stop off at Leamington. Might take all 3k to this too so should be fun.

Big car park with the option (best) to buy in advance. Number plate recognition tech for entry etc. From memory, the view from the stands is good and being a fairly modern stadium, it's comfortable with plenty of food outlets etc. Still a boring tie but hey, if we get through it's 4th round with more prize money. Good for the club's finances and right in the January window.

15% minimum away allocation for FA Cup games so can’t be any less than just under 4,900

If we want to go up we've got to prove ourselves. Winnable and we will take a great following and will we have a new striker in . Let's keep in touch over the next few weeks I remember the 1982 game completely stuffed so not happy memories but a new ground and iam sure we can get a result there.

 

[OX14]

Decent draw that.

New ground for me, not too far to drive, won't be on TV so won't be moved to a stupid kick off time or on another day/night.

We dodged some really awful ties

TV ties will be

Arsenal v Liverpool
Sunderland v Newcastle
Wigan v Man united

And one of

Gillingham v Sheffield United
Nottingham forest v Blackpool or Forest Green
Chelsea v Preston

And they owe us, after the JPT final a few years ago.

How do you mean? We lost that one.

 

[Oxford57]

I went to the Ricoh stadium in 2012 for a Olympic double header,full house ,however hardly any supporters of the country's team which made for a weird atmosphere to say the least,car parking was awful,in a field about 20 minutes walk away,this was a official car park as well!, I thought that the view was ok, bit of a soulless place

I would appreciate a big following and all singing - Happy Birthday dear Manorlounger!
6th January is the big day. Please bring your own cake.

 

[Concretebob]

My local club, absolutely delighted!

Anyone into craft beer/ale go to Twisted Barrel taphouse before the game!

 

[werthersoriginal]

Hope our new striker is eligible to play.

 

[WarwickOx]

Any idea when this will be played?

15mins up the road for me

 

[Tinman]

Bit underwhelming, chances are a loss and not a great payout. However, get the squad back tip top, the form back on track and hopefully a decent striker then we have a chance of going through.

As long as there not cup tied

Good draw. Reckon they’re vulnerable.

Bit of a meh draw for me, don’t live near it and have been there before, can see how if you are up that end of Oxfordshire/live near or have never been think it’s a decent draw, all about perspective.
