Nightmare day

 

Had both Hull and Blackburn to win

 

Both spoiled my big pay outs

Chelsea just come from behind to win 3-1 at Watford.

 

Anelka hat-trick.

Too be honest i agree with what you say but Everton were meant too be tired last saturday and they pissed all over us

15,053 at Ewood for a 5th round tie with a big away following ?

What's that all about ?

cos folk dont give a shit about the cup compared to the prem

 

sorry to burst a few bubbles

I think more because they know their manager doesnt give a sh1t about the cup. If we had coventry at home to get into the quarter finals I'd be p1ssed off if we put a half strength team out. A cup run would be a nice distraction for any bottom half of the prem side. I know managers whine on about fatigue and injuries but its a load of b0ll0cks. Fortunatly we never get far enough for people to start getting excited about a cup run.

There was 5000 coventry on but don't think we would have anymore on if it was us. Shame that fans who took up football with sky never developed a love for the f.a. Cup personally I think the cup should be worth 10 million to the winner,this may help reestablish its importance.

We go through this on a regular basis; like once a year.

 

Teams like Bolton and Blackburn only get big FA Cup crowds when they were playing teams one or two leagues above them.

Thought I'd delve back into the records a bit. Seems the Bolton fans aren't quite as fed up of under-strength teams as Rovers - if there were only 10,000 Rovers fans ay Ewood yesterday.

 

1999/2000 : 6th R : Charlton Ath (h) 20,131 (about 17,000 home fans).

2004/05 : 5th R : Fulham (h) 16,151 (15,000 home fans - given it was Fulham).

2005/06 : 5th R : West Ham (h) 17,120 (again about 15,000 home fans).

2006/07 : 4th R replay : Arsenal (h) 21,088 (about 17,000+ home fans).

2007/08 : 3rd R : Sheffield U (h) 15,286 (about 12,000 home fans).

 

 

The general point about fans' attitude to the FA Cup these days is right though :-

1977/78 : 3rd R replay : Spurs (h) 31,314 (about 28,000 home fans). Both in the old 2nd Division.

Charlton only brought about 1300

West Ham brought 5,000.

Sheffield United brought 5,000. Sheffield United are similar to Coventry (same division) so Blackburns crowd is just like what we would get in the fa cup.

Which we were.

Charltons following was about 3000, they sold out and every notright from Erith to Dartford turned up.

It was indeed.

They certainly did.

And yes, every single notright from South of the river arrived!

Even Jim Davidson turned up, with his comical Nick-Nick hat on. Never saw Chalky mind.

It was indeed.

They certainly did.

And the hard bastards got slapped on the train back to Bolton - southern softy walters, the lot of them
