Reading 2-0 Watford Fc - Fa Cup Third Round - 07/01/2023

Draw on now, no thread? If I have missed it, mods plz delete.

 

Away to Reading.

 

Zzzzzzz.

 

I think Reading is the most played fixture in our history. Can never have too many Reading games. Bring it on.

 

The draw the police were praying wouldn't happen.

 

That's Sting's problem.

 

It’s going to be utter carnage. Sadly I don’t think I’ll take the risk and will simply stay away from the south of England altogether that day. Will probably avoid any coverage too just to be sure. Can’t be too careful.

 

9am kick off with no away fans and pubs closed the night before, for sure.

 

v Reading 130 games
v Palace 133 games

 

Obviously a huge game for them, likely their first sellout for many years so there should be a good atmosphere. I just hope our boys can handle that.

If we can stay focussed on the game and not be distracted by the inevitable media circus that will surround this fixture we should make it safely through to the next round.

 

Assume this is the game for Sunday afternoon on BBC.

 

It's the de facto final really, isn't it?

 

Ugggghhh ! One of those horrible little clubs I have an irrational hatred of, bit like AFC Bos-Scum & Cheatmouth, MK Franchise etc. Sh1tty Meccano stadium in the @rse-end of nowhere. No thanks !

 

That takes the biscuit.

 

Booooooooring.

 

I wonder if our lot will realise the significance of the Herts/Berks Derby and the history at play.

 

Was hoping for a non league team.... This draw is just dull dull dull

 

Am hoping the highlights will be on after "Skirmish" on UK Conquest.

 

Or Sue Lawley.

 

Derby’s not in either county, mate.

 

Well someone told me yesterday

 

Thankfully I'm group "A" for away ticket's . Don't want to miss out !

 

Almost certainly going to be A+++ put into effect for this game mate. Suggest you start queuing outside the ticket office pronto to guarantee your spot!

 

Play the reserves and get knocked out asap.

Promotion this season is the only thing which matters in any way.

 

Tempted by the 500% mark up you could achieve by flogging them online as "the must have ticket of 2023" ?

 

No, I don't particularly fancy another Wembly thrashing either.

 

Should be £10 tickets - about as much as I can afford for an away game so will probably go.

 

Confirmed.

 

Which country has made that game 'must see'?

 

Only a handful of tickets left per Watford website.

Really??

 

Huge game for Bilic, need to back up the Norwich performance with another 3 points away from home.
