FA Cup

[Shrimpy]

Come on Hodgy, that's pretty unlikely.
Stoke have played two and lost two, and Bury only lost 2-1 to Bradford after beating us 4-1.
Bradford have played two and won two.

Table as it stands:
1. Bradford 6pts GD+2
2. Bury 3pts GD+2
3. MFC 3pts GD-1
4. Stoke 0pts GD-3

I think we may well beat Bradford and pocket £10K, but I also believe Bury will beat Stoke.

The additional 10K for beating Bradford would be most welcome along with the 10K we already have for beating Stoke. The extra money compensates for the loss in gate revenue. The money is badly needed and the boycott of the comp by a section of fans shows how it is damaging the clubs finances but that could all be rectified if every fan attended.....and thought of their club.....

Those boycotting are thinking of their club, they just aren't as short sighted as some.

Cheers Phil , had looked on the online booking thingy and there is no mention of it (or the Bradfud game) ,will get them Saturday .

[Christies Child]

Must be going mad (or an age thingy) but somehow thought that the game was this Sunday.....

Anyhow just hope that the shop is open a few extra days next week for the thousands to get on down to buy tickets.

As for the Bradford game, some have made their stand and I respect them for that....but still feel that they are penalising their club....but that's their choice.

Neil, have you tried the link? It is Sunday, 6th November.

The game is not all ticket. Season ticket holders have until 29th October to reserve their seat. Hence why no tickets are currently available online.

So we could beat Bradford by one goal, and still finish third and go out.

Dont think it makes any difference , none of the games are all ticket but they do appear online.

[Teams like Morecambe]

Dan Agyei who played for us in pre season has scored a couple for Coventry who have hit form and moved out of the relegation zone. Any idea why we didn't take him on loan?

Coventry reporting they've sold 444 tickets for Sunday so far

[steve mfc]

Anyone else looking forward to the game on Sunday, even though its been devalued in recent years by teams putting out weakened sides I still think the FA Cup is special its just a shame that these games no longer seem to catch the imagination of supporters as they used to.

It also makes a change from the grind of the league and the fact that you have to have a winner even if it is after a replay gives it a bit more edge, then there is the anticipation of who you might get in the next round the chance of a giant killing act, yeah bring it on.

Its the FA Cup where miracles happen. Just watch us win at home!

Wonder why they are so poor at travelling. With the poor home crowds they are getting due to the owners, I would have thought they would relish an away trip to a ground not normally visited.

[Seasider9601]

Reason for this one Chris is because the gate money is split.

They're in a similar situation to Blackpool where they don't want their owners to get money.

Again, like Blackpool, they constantly protest against him.

[Westgate Wanderer]

I think Blackpool are having a collection for Kiddie tomorrow asking fans to pay their ticket prices to a bucket to help them instead of attending the game!

[steve mfc]

I just hope we get a decent turn out tomorrow, only time will tell just how important this game is, even if it turns out not be crucial a home win and a good cup run could be just what the doctor ordered, time to pull together and get behind the team.

That is so right! Can we have some feel good on the forum tomorrow evening? That would be nice!

Mind you. if we do beat Coventry, there will only be about three posts on here tomorrow!
