Well there are still plenty of (home) tickets available - with loads of availability in plenty of blocks . They are a slightly hefty £19 though for adults. It was £15 for ST holders for away tickets.
the replay rules are :
3rd Round and 4th round: Replay if game finishes as draw after 90 minutes - Replay has extra time and penalties if needed.
From 5th round onwards - no replays. Extra time and pens if a draw.
Next season - unclear. PL were pushing for no replays even for 3rd and 4th...
The team / squad for Boro (A) in the third round last year was pretty much full strength. (Admittedly this was post World Cup).
Although Dunk wasn't in the squad, and Trossard was out in the cold waiting to be sold. No u21s.
Of course and if injuries are a risk (eg: Estupinan, Webster) then fair enough but for once RDZ doesn't need to rotate or rest players because there's a game on Thursday or the following weekend. or the weekend after that (assuming no replays).
True but In the last 30 years aside from the single wins by Portsmouth , Wigan, Everton and Leicester. Every winner has either been just one of Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City or Man Utd and they usually play one of each other in the final too.
why does any player "need" a rest when everyone will be getting a 16 day rest at least after Saturday - given that our next fixture is v Wolves on Jan 22nd. ?
