I presume you're not referring to us given that we had Bradford at home in the qtr final last season?

That was a replay.

I'm referring to the draw.

Trust the appointment of our new manager will be a whole lot more exciting than this.

Away draw, no surprise. As for it being Uddersfild again. Somebody somewhere is having a right giraffe.

Don't mind this that much, was in Brazil for this game last year, and won't be able to get to the galpharm for our league game this season so probably in for this. Decent chance of progressing too.

Could be worse. We could be Huddersfield fans facing the prospect of being knocked out by Reading 2 years running!!

CountryRoyal Anyone know the record for most consecutive away cup ties?


No, but 8 aways in a row is a 255/1 chance.

Getting exactly the same draw as last year is 125/1.

Its 14/16 aways if you go back even further.

Money on a scrappy win and a trip to Cardiff in round 4.

Are people getting the train to this? Looked online and trains from Reading (change at Manchester) are £101. I didn't look at Kings Cross/Pancas whatever it is so I guess that's cheaper...

May go, very tempted although I am working that day so would need to take the day off

this may be a separate thread but...

Can anyone tell me WHY in the name of all that is holy is train travel so fcking expensive?

It's cheaper flying to European countries than hopping on a train in England for a 150-200 mile journey.

Sort it out government people

Useless factoid : Reading have been drawn away in 12 of their last 15 FA Cup ties.

Jesus Christ, when you said £110 I thought you were looking at on the day prices but that is the authentic price for the train tickets bought almost a month in advance, absolutely ridiculous.
