It's bollocks. Would kill the cup even more. 

You have non league outfits fighting tooth and nail to get into the third round for the chance of a payday that could keep em going for a year or two. 

The fact we're going to the wall can't be blamed on fa Cup gate receipts distribution. 

I wasn't referring to the fact that we're going to the wall. But if every club was equally well managed and generated the same income for arguments sake, the advantage goes to the team that gets a good draw, there you go, have a quality striker without earning it through good management. Reading seem to get Man U every year and Blackpool got Arsenal twice in 5 months...just seems unfair as we know we'll always get the dullest ties of the round, for ever and a day!

More Championship teams in the fifth round draw than Premier League.

The top ten or so in Championship is the equal of the bottom half of the Premiership, it's been evident for years in my opinion.

Just a shame we're miles off it.

southend was about the time worthy left

I think that we were booked on a coach run by some operator other than the club, which was cancelled. But they let us drink on the club coach, as we would have been allowed on the original coach. Or summat. We were very drunk.

40 years ago; gosh

I’ve mentioned it before but Watford away league cup 2nd leg  in the Mcgovern era we took about 16 fans  In the away end behind the next not sure if there were any in the seats but can’t have been many, we actually win the second leg in 90 minutes took it to extra time where we lost. That was some Watford team.
