I beg to differ this could be on tele

Possible will be Wigan  Arsenal Sunderland then it could be us ? 

[Duck Egg]

Chelsea v PNE before we were given any consideration.

[bwfc87]

Chance we could be picked for TV I reckon

Trevor Steven has basically just given Wigan about £300k plus to spend in the January window (gate receipts/live TV revenue).

He's given us about £25k.

 A replay would be worth 750k to them minimum. They'd probably rather draw with United than  beat them

 

[Farnywhite]

Crap draw really away to a premier league side  only one you could get without the prospect of making any money out of it .

Exactly. United away, yes please, United at home with them having more fans than us, fuck that!

They wouldn't have more than us given the number of season ticket holders.

Would no doubt be plenty knocking about in home stands though.

Went to Luton for a cup tie which got postponed an hour or so before kick off.

K&F to the Luton exit on M1, wait 15 mins for the inspection and back we went.

Had better Tuesday nights out

Got face in the crowd and a pair of Reebok trainers when we won there 2-0  in the naughties.

Crap draw but a new ground for my son, so I’m happy for him.

1500 but as its cup we might the full end which will be about 1900

No scramble for these I would have thought.

Seem to remember Tommo scoring with a belting shot out of nowhere. The ground was a dump then. Hope it has improved.

[Dr. Feelgood]

Is Johnny Aston Jnr. Still playing for them ?

If so "Booooo. Boooo. Boooooooooooo. Boooooooooooooooo !"

Tha's orl.

The away end is same as it was back then I think.

Sorry Rog, but bollocks! A place in the next round would be top of their priorities.

[embankment]

Ian will look at this an an opportunity. 

With nothing to loose.

Not a glamorous tie . But Luton may have their priorities elsewhere. 

A win and a decent draw next round is the target 

[tomski]

Great draw in my opinion. This will be distraction for them and we have a chance of getting a result. Not much to dislike.

We had a night match at Burnden v them called off as well. 94ish, pissed it down all day and it was called off as we got in King Bill.

 

Might have been the same season Sneekes scored a worldie there.

I was disappointed when our number was pulled out of the hat but I'm coming round to this way of thinking

[victor meldrew]

I need a ticket for this, only ground I’ve not been to in the top three leagues

I'm genuinely glad its their problem not ours.

I'm glad from that point of view that we don't have United at home, but if it was us it would be a powderkeg because a lot of our fans see it as some sort of rivalry.  Wigan won't see it that way, there's no history between them as far as I'm aware, I'd expect them to just accept there will be Utd fans in their end and get on with it, like if Bury were playing them etc.

[tomski]

I’m now out as I’ve just found out they will use VAR

[L/H White]

Luton, Orient & Carlisle all in January now ffs

[TrickyTrotter]

Shrewsbury v Wrexham will be chosen for tv before us.

[L/H White]

knowing our luck we'll get the Friday or Monday night slot
