Re: Fa Cup 4th Round - LIVERPOOL AWAY

I assume WG are compensating both clubs for today? I wonder how much.

The Liverpool game is the same weekend as wales first home game in 6 nations.

Under current rules you could have 100k people from (mainly) South Wales travelling to watch sport in England on buses, trains and coaches etc under no restrictions while in Wales it's illegal for Barry town to have 51 people outside watching in a 3000 capacity stadium (fortunately far more than that can watch inside from the bar).

Edit maybe more than 100k as I forget about all the South walian Liverpool fans who will be going also......

From dull and uninspiring to excited at the draw in the space of about half an hour!

Anfield's expanded since the League Cup game and I believe you get more tickets in the FA Cup?

Hope everyone kept their Hull stubs

They were planning to use Preston stubs but the WAG had other ideas.

Six aways for first dibs? Let's hope it's scheduled for a Saturday or Sunday match.

We probably would’ve lost money had fans been allowed in due to running costs and wages.

We've got 8,000 plus. There won't be any issue for anyone.

Would have rathered a more winnable tie but its not a bad alternative, certainly more excitable than a fair few others who would also probably stick a few past us.

Playing at Anfield will be useful experience for Colwill, Harris, Moore and Vaulks, ahead of the FAW moving the World Cup playoff games there in March.

8,000? I thought Shrewsbury got just under 6,000?

Wales v Scotland at anfield for World Cup play off. Wales moving their home game.

I Can't see any reason why not to do such a thing that's bound to work out?

Wales are away in Ireland on Feb 5th for the opening 6 nations fixture, which is FA Cup 4th Rd weekend.

The first 6 nations home game is the following week, Feb 12th v Scotland.
