    F A Cup 3rd round draw tonight

    BBC 2 7pm tonight. I know we never take it seriously but did enjoy our trip to Liverpool last season.

    I’d like Spurs or Newcastle away.

    I predict we’ll get Ipswich at home.

    Remember the days when the draw was done on the Saturday.

    I can remember in 1979 when they did the 3rd round draw on Match of the day and we drew Arsenal at home.

    I excitedly phoned my mate about the draw straight afterwards only to be bollocked by his dad for calling late at night.

    Traditionally on a Monday dinner time, another thing that’s fallen by the wayside.

    Back in the days when no one thought it was a good idea to let everyone know what every team’s number was before a ball was picked out. That said, City were nearly always number ten, but I always enjoyed trying to figure who we’d been drawn against.

    Yes, huddling around a transistor radio... great stuff, but we ended up with Stoke away!

    City drawn away to Margate and played at Dover was an obscure one I attended. Not quite so packed as the crowd of 55, 316 crowd at Ninian Park in 1969 and which was a hell of a crush.
    I was disappointed when we drew Tiverton away but they conceded home advantage to us. I came up on one of their two fan coaches, put a Bluebird toffee on each seat before people boarded and looked forward to the craic. However, it was a very civil and twee experience as many of the passengers had brought flasks and a picnic to have on the coach.

    If we are ‘rewarded’ with a home tie, the club will retain our excitement by announcing the 2 blocks that will be open and thus signal that they don’t intend to put up a fight and don’t expect us to attend anyway.

    A Championship side at home, probably Wigan

    I went to the Margate game at The Crabble, Dover. And after we did a booze cruise via the tunnel to load up with cheap drinks.

    I was living in SE London at the time so it wasn't suck a trek.

    Still in the tedious build-down. Good of them to interview the bloke from Scritti Politti though.

    Can’t see us getting for more a first round cup game than a league game.

    Depends how the club prices it too.
