I was thinking the same thing. Swansea v Everton will be one i'm sure.

BORING! I really don't get why TV companies insist on using cup coverage to show match-ups we see already twice a season, just for the sake of a bit of extra cash. The Cups are all about the smaller teams trying to cause an upset. I remember when we played Arsenal in that absolute corker of a match two seasons back, they ignored us and they chose Stoke vs Manchester City instead :facepalm:

That Arsenal match was chosen for broadcast internationally though.

100% this - last season going to the cup final even to lose to City was much more important to me as a fan than staying in the premier league, that 1 day out was such a better feeling then ever been "safe" on the final day of the season

Maybe it's early but maybe because no one cares but whilst I agree with you I can't for the life of me remember who got to the final with city . That's half the prob with the fa cup final now . It's no longer ingrained in the publics mind

Burton charged £15 for standing and £18 for seats for QPR game. Likely to be same price for us.

Wednesday would suit me and my mates better.

I am absolutely gutted by this draw. Burton is only a 45 minute drive for me, but the in laws live just down the road from the Stadium. They have been saying for years that if/when Brighton play at Burton they'll go with me. So far, so good.

Problem is, the other half is due to give birth to our first child that week. Therefore, I think I'll be missing it.

REALLY hope it's a Tuesday game - new ground and should be a good evening.
