They are drawing the 5th round as well. Why? Talk about making things more complicated than they need to be!

Plenty of shite draws in there still, either get an easy home tie or one of the big six would be nice.

It'll be Luton away or some other shit fixture

Not a L1 club or Championship club. L1 would ensure absolutely minimal TV coverage - 5 seconds right at the end of MOTD would be it. Championship clubs may start taking it a bit more seriously in R4 and not put out a team of academy players like Huddersfield especially if the prize is a winnable R5 draw. Any L2 (except Crawley), Prem or non-league for me.

it doesnt matter who we get as at the end off the day we wont be winning the fa cup regardless.

Also I wonder how much a Spurs tie would net us without the crowds?

Maybe Spurs fans will buy 25,000 virtual tickets like they did for Marine. We need the money as much as they do.

Probably not as many virtual tickets sold as we arent as skint as marine. I would say it would still bring in a pretty penny which wont go anywhere near the first team budget.

Anyway it's all academic as we will be drawn against Doncaster Rovers away.

11 Nottingham Forest

The simplest draw at home would suffice. Argyle have not had a cup run for awhile , it's about time they had a flirt with the latter rounds.

no i believe he will be upset we didnt win it once we get knocked out of the cup.

A winnable draw, at home, worth over £91k to the Club. On our way to Wembury??

Wembury beach yes but I doubt the similar named place lol

you know what will happen with this draw. It will be the same as it was a few months ago in the League Cup when fans were more interested in a potential spurs game completely ignoring the fact we still had to win a game against Leyton Orient first.

and we play sheff utd


shit draw

Why is it a shit draw? Assuming of course it goes ahead factoring in Covid is now rampant.

Greasy chip butty.

another shit incentive millwall or bristol city

can we forget about the big paydays these games will draw now?

The dark horses... we could be onto a winner here ..cash wise. Wembury here come!!

Shit fifth round draw agree, I love the way football denies what is really happening in the world.

Maybe they will put the kids out and we actually turn up for an away match, stranger thing have happened, but it's a shit draw.

Because we want to make as much money as possible from these games while we are in the cup still as the reality is we aren't winning the fa cup. So when we draw the shittest premiership team ever putting aside their run last season that's not going to draw the money from tv revenues that make up the loss we will make from no fans attending or merchandised sold. had we drawn Chelsea for example maybe we would have seen a nice earner come our way and for that i blame lanky crouch and that rather nice looking asian lady host of the draw.

The incentive to win that game to play millwall or bristol city again isnt really worth it at the end of the day apart from some janners think bristol city are rivals of ours. May aswell tank that sheff utd game and concentrate on the bread and butter the league as we still in a dog fight for relegation despite the recent turn around in results.

But as you say these games may not be played if the virus doesnt level out by then.
