Any chance of changing it to the Hawthorns if Exeter get though seeing as half their ground is under redevelopment. Be worth a few bob to them.
Quota won't change, even though it's Cup. Will only be 350.
Combined, standing and seating about 1k
Can’t do that, non-league clubs used to do it back in the day but the FA stopped that in the name of fairness.There’s been a lot more FA Cup games played on Sunday afternoon this year, even in the preliminary rounds, even without a clear reason for doing so, so I wouldn’t count on a Saturday 3pm kickoff
I might be wrong but I think the Police can request a change of venue for "safety reasons". If that were the case it would most likely be moved to a more suitable neutral ground such as Vitality stadium or St Mary's or even Fratton park but not The Hawthorns.Hopefully Forest Green will win and it'll all be academic.
Why? Isn't their ground just as small? A change of venue to neutral for either would suit ticket allocation issues best I imagine
Exeter's ground ordinarily would be bigger but is under re-development so limited allocation.According to each team's away day pages:Exeter Away Allocation: 350 Max (Until next year when stand works are complete)Forest Green Away Allocation: 950 Max
Could see us feature somewhere on TV if it's Forest Green as the companies do like that sort of thing. Merseyside derby is a shoe in but others are debatable.
No disrespect to the opponents but i would like some of the fringe/youth players to get a game , so pardew can have a proper look at them.
People bemoan the fact that we dont have cup runs then ask for the youth players to playThats a no from me, want us to put out a strong side and try to progress as far as we can
Yep full strength side for me.The Cup is too important to mess around with.Any good youth should be getting loaned out anyway
Don't agree with that at all.... Age means jack, if they are good enough... they should be in the squad regardless if they are 18 or 28.
Plus getting the first team into the winning mentality will do no harm at all after such a winless streak, regardless of opposition (not saying we are guaranteed to beat Forest Green or Exeter, but with our first team we bloody should be winning).
Yes it is small but the allocation would be 880 ish not 350, over twice as many tickets available. Considering we haven't taken 880 for some Prem away games in the past I can't see it being moved on safety grounds.Having only 350 tickets available for away fans and a building site could be considered by the police as a safety concern. I'm assuming either way that tickets will be available based on loyalty points and 1 per person.
