“What's not to like?“

We have little chance of winning it , that I don’t like!

I had hopes of this competition for cup success... Oh well.......

What? Do you think the only way we'll get cup success is by playing League 2 sides every round? Saints at home with them playing a B-side is eminently winnable, more so than a League 1 or lower-championship side playing a first XI I'd wager

Obviously as we win this trophy every other year we have the remotest **** of a clue about what the actual **** we are actually talking about.

Apart from the fact that if we rest first team players they won't play and threfore have less chance of breaking a meta **'****** on the upturned three pin on the bedroom floor. I'll never forget that.

We've only got past the 4th Round once since the competition started in 1960-61.

Still, it could've been much worse. Southampton away. Or South Wales.

Cup success will be hard to come by if we can't beat Southampton at home, no?

You make it sound as if we are playing ateam from a lower division. Southampton will be stronger this season, and will think they have a good chance of winning this too.

A lot will depend on the teams both sides decide to field.

When are the TV picks announced? Wimbledon v West Ham has got to be nailed on to be one of them.

I think you mean 70-75%. £10-£15 a ticket would do me nicely thank you very much. £18 is about my max.

The club isn't a charity, it's two elite level clubs playing each other in one of our two biggest domestic cups. £25/£20 I think is a fair price and reduce concessions to £10.

Its the only all Premier League tie, and Sky always convince themselves that its a "derby" so I'll be mildly surprised if it isn't one of the TV picks, especially as none of the big clubs are involved yet. Whether I watch it at the Amex or from a barstool will probably depend on the pricing.

Really? Two elite level clubs won't be playing two elite level teams. It will be, as in previous years, a reserve team fixture. How much do we charge for U23 game?

It may not be a charity but needs to be realistic with the pricing too. £5 for kids and £10 for adults would be about right for essentially a reserve game (hardly two elite clubs) and would hopefully attract a lot of kids who don't often get the chance to purchase tickets.

Hope Sky do grab it as I'll be in Greece!

decent enough game for the squad .

If its £20 or less then will attend .

Anymore and will be watching at home.

£15 would be sensible and a good gesture to fans.

Fully expecting £25

I hope they do as well. I quite like watching us on TV in games I can barely give a stuff about. The complete absence of nerve-shredding tension can actually be quite cathartic.
