Brammie Steve Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Match is live on Beeby Swan next Friday evening. Will this swell our coffers? Will it affect our chances? Will it affect our attendance? Will both sides field their strongest teams? Given our performance against Brum do we have a snowball's chance of getting into the fifth round? Does anyone care about the FA Cup this year? Who would rather take Three points against Burnley? (Me for one) Any further questions anyone?

RiddingsRam Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Not in the slightest! Playing a top team ! In the cup ! A break from the league ! And yep it will be a sell out ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Mills Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Match is live on Beeby Swan next Friday evening. Will this swell our coffers? yes Will it affect our chances? no Will it affect our attendance? no - sell out Will both sides field their strongest teams? no - we probably will mostly with maybe a couple of changes for Burnley. United will be mixed Given our performance against Brum do we have a snowball's chance of getting into the fifth round? yes, that's the beauty of the cup Does anyone care about the FA Cup this year? nice bit of cash on the side and exciting but not expecting us to progress much further and won't be upset when we go out Who would rather take Three points against Burnley? (Me for one) me Any further questions anyone? can I have a tenner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Prices are quite high and we're on a poor run of form. And it's on that tellybox thing. So, I don't actually think we'll sell out. Probably 29/30k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 While we all want promotion, the reality is that next season, as the Premier League and Championship stands, if we go up, we will probably be playing Stoke City Crystal Palace Bournemouth Watford Norwich City Swansea City West Bromwich Albion Leicester City Southampton Middlesbrough Hull While every club in the prem deserves to be there on merit (apart from Bournemouth due to the smarminess of Eddie Howe), its not gut wrenchingly exciting. Ok, the other eight clubs would be interesting as, apart from Chelsea, we haven't played them recently..... Liverpool Man Ure Arsenal Tottenham Everton Manchester City West Ham (i'm being kind here as historically they belong in the first list but the new stadium thing may just elevate them to a regular 45k+ club) So, while i'm sure Mel wants to be there and PC and the players want to test themselves at the top level, many games would not actually have the thrill factor that we hope for. You could argue that Wolves, Birmingham, Leeds, Wednesday and the gumps are bigger games than the Bournemouths, Palaces and Stokes are for most of us. I'm sure that we'd sell out every home game in the Prem but I would swap promotion for FA Cup glory every day of the week. So lets hope for a good performance and win at Burnley and take that confidence into Friday night for our usual win against Manchester United. We have a decent record against them, home and away, so nowt to worry about there. Louis Bad Hair will probably get sacked after we've humiliated them! The usual songs will come out..... Who the **** are Man Uniiiiited, who the **** are Man Uniiiiiiited You've only come to see the Derby...... live round the corner, you only live round the corner You've had ya day out, now **** off home etc etc but i'd rather we stuck to the old skool......... me knees have gone all trembly we're on our way to wembley lalalala lalalala we're on our way to Wembley, we shall not be moved, we're on our way to Wembley, we shall not be moved, just like a team, that's gonna win the FA Cup, we shall not be moved....

ramesses Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'm easily pleased. I’m just hoping for a marginally less tedious game than that game against Chelsea – when it looked fairly obvious early on that they were going to win while never really arsing themselves to get out of second gear. That was dispiriting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame it looks like we will miss the premier league bonanza next year. £120 million a year that's over £3 million per game, home or away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFCDowd Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Not going as £108 for family & it's too much so we gave our customer no to a friend & their going & well happy shame as season ticket holders but we will be glued to the box all those going enjoy! We got Fulham tickets (can't wait went last season loved it except for the match!!) & I heard them saying for the united game, that there was a choice of upper or lower for the south stand! so against what the club are saying I won't be surprised to see it go to general sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuespachRam Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It won't sell out, tickets always available... I am busy trying to work out a suitable FA cup banner to take to the final, one to rival my favorite from the 80's "it will be a doddle with Waddle and Hoddle" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozza Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I would guess the Television Audience for this match will be the biggest live audience Derby County has ever been involved in , bearing in mind it's on BBC 1 , prime time . i'd suggest an audience in excess of 7 million , Great opportunity to show how good we are ..
