    I think this gives us a real opportunity to have a go at this competition and I would be hopeful that we play a full strength side. Newcastle somehow managed to lose a player to injury last night who was replaced by a another player who got injured who was replaced by another player who also got injured! Sounds like none of them would be fit for this anyway including Lascelles who is there best defender and with there being midweek matches immediately following the FA Cup games I can't see them risking anybody. Having said that they are playing Man City so they may concentrate on our game instead!
    I've always felt that once you get to the 5th round you're in the mix and if we can win this and avoid Liverpool or Man City then we could have a chance of a good run.
    Does anybody know where the away fans go for this? We've been given 6000 tickets and was wondering if we're still up in the gods or somewhere in the ground where you don't get altitude sickness from walking to your seat?
    1-0 Newcastle

    I agree. I would like us to give this a real go. We avoided a "banana skin" result in R3 and to be honest Woking didn't really try to beat us which was a shame as I was hoping they would at least make a game of it.

    Newcastle could of easily lost last night and are very fortunate their GK had a crisis of confidence when it really mattered. Personally I would of liked
    to of gotten BR as we haven't played them since our promotion season(?). We are more than capable of beating Newcastle and they are not the
    giants of old they once were (as everyone knows). Sheff Wed in R5, Shrewsbury in QF, Burton SF and Everton in the final.

    Dream passage.

    Oxygen masks will be required. I have a Luton-supporting friend who went there in the FA Cup last year and he said they were all up in the gods.

    Away fans are always up in the gods so no change there then.

    I know. He is one of the better ones though (ie. his knuckles don't touch the ground, he can communicate with more than grunts and he hates Tommy Robinson). His wife however is a Watford fan and they are having a baby soon. I have already bought some Watford baby clothes to support her in the battle for heart & mind.

    600 tickets sold for Newcastle as they now go on general sale. Surprised it's that high.

    Thought we might do better than that but I guess we have a lot of away games at the moment including 3 in a week starting at Newcastle

    The height is probably half the reason no ****er wants to go.

    It's a long way. Most people would still be paying off Christmas credit card bills. It's cold. We've played there already this season. The FA Cup is a lower priority, particularly at this stage. The natives are mutants. We get to see 2 minutes of highlights for free on MoTD.

    Cup should be top priority, IMO.

    Tickets are a tenner, possibility of free coach travel. It's 250 miles or so. Some people in America drive that for a hamburger. Cold...you pussy, the lasses up there will be going out after the match in their underwear and a belt.

    The advantage, of course, is that you can’t see Gray cupping his ear from up there.
