Every big name Prem team AWAY.....coincidental??? Shocked

by blueboy Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:34 pm

4 out of 5 will be on TV......what's the betting we miss out again?

by blueboy Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:35 pm

City are now 3/1 favourites!!

Arsenal go away to Sutton and yet aren't favourites!!

by Moonchester Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:38 pm

if I had sky plus I would have gone back to when Southgate dropped one of the balls back again right before Hudderfield came out... looked a bit sus...

by blueboy Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:40 pm

With the FA Cup waning, you have to look at those draws and think.....hmmmm. scratch

by TMG Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:53 pm

Hmm very fishy No PL teams facing each other All the minnows getting a tasty tie with a nice pay check A more cynical person would think the teams were seeded
Still can't complain Good draw for us

by **Topdawg** Mon Jan 30, 2017 9:13 pm

Mooy. Decent draw

by **leopold** Mon Jan 30, 2017 10:32 pm

Not the best draw for Lincoln, I'm sure they would prefer to be at home. And I don't think I will get a ticket, not with the gulf in points I have now...

by skyblueoz Mon Jan 30, 2017 11:50 pm

who was it again ( Remember when city scored 10 ????? )

by **Topdawg** Tue Jan 31, 2017 9:08 am

Is it a 20% allocation again? Still only be a few thousand tickets.

by **leopold** Tue Jan 31, 2017 2:29 pm

It's a 24500 capacity, apparently. So if we get 20%, that'll be 4900 tickets. And I'm on the cup scheme, so I might even have a shot!

by **Topdawg** Tue Jan 31, 2017 2:39 pm

actually, it's only 15% (we had about 3,500 fans at palace for about 25,000 seater stadium).

How many points do you have Leo?

by **leopold** Tue Jan 31, 2017 3:53 pm

Just shy of 8000. I came off Platinum a couple of years ago as it wasn't helping, but now I'm just even further off the pace.

by **Topdawg** Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:16 pm

Well, I've got even less than you. I've got just over 7,000 so I'll never catch up to be able to go to away matches.

by **leopold** Wed Feb 01, 2017 11:20 am

It sucks, doesn't it? Last away game I went to was to was the swamp for the EFL and that was a bit of luck. Well, aside from the result, of course!

by **Topdawg** Wed Feb 01, 2017 11:27 am

I forgot to buy my ticket fort the swamp, which was just as well.

Not being around much doesn't help my case either.

by **Topdawg** Wed Feb 01, 2017 11:30 am

It'd be interesting to know how many points are needed to pretty much guarantee a ticket for most away matches.

by **leopold** Wed Feb 01, 2017 2:20 pm

Having looked in the past, you're looking at somewhere north of 16000 points. Last time I looked the starting point was 21000. Basically, you've got no chance until people start running out of money or dying.

by **Topdawg** Wed Feb 01, 2017 2:27 pm

When someone dies, doesn't the ticket get passed on to freinds or family?

by **leopold** Wed Feb 01, 2017 3:53 pm

I don't think so. You have to ask for it to be transferred, but I don't know if the points transfer with it.

by **Topdawg** Wed Feb 01, 2017 4:02 pm

What I mean is, people just keep on using it if they can. Just pay the money, no ID checks on away matches.

by Moonchester Wed Feb 01, 2017 5:07 pm

wasn't there a thing in the early 00's where there was a certian percentage of the crowd at Old Trafford who were technically deceased but familys just kept the tickets and paid so they didn't have to join the queue again?

by **Topdawg** Wed Feb 01, 2017 5:18 pm

There were big complaints about that down at the swamp.

There has to be a fairer way, just that no one has come up with it yet.

by Moonchester Wed Feb 01, 2017 5:38 pm

the clue should be when we have 3000 away fans with an average age of 94 Surprised

by **Topdawg** Fri Feb 03, 2017 12:24 pm

Only 3,700 tickets available...

https://www.mancity.com/news/tickets-and-travel/2017/02/03/huddersfield-town-v-man-city-fa-cup-tickets/1486122599211

An allocation goes to Seasonal Hospitality Supporters, Football Management, Players, Club Partners and the MCFC Supporters Club so there may not be too many left for actual supporters.

I don;t think you'll get a ticket from this process Leo.

Oz i believe from memory we scored 10 against Halifax?

by skyblueoz Fri Feb 03, 2017 2:26 pm

Better sort out the memory MCM unless that is another 10 you are on about, in which case at 4 yrs your Junior I don't recall it. The only Halifax game I remember is when they were bottom of Div 4 And we went to them as a 1st div club in the FA cup 3rd rnd and lost 1-0 with Big Mal in charge 1979-80 I think? Nice draw because it's close... Icon_sad

by blueboy Fri Feb 03, 2017 4:25 pm

Didn't we beat Huddersfield 10-1 in Div 2, 87 or 88?

I know Halifax have taken some big batterings in the past, but I don't recall us beating them by 10?

by blueboy Fri Feb 03, 2017 4:26 pm

Though we have beaten that score 10-1.....any idea against who? Very Happy

by **Topdawg** Fri Feb 03, 2017 5:52 pm

bury???

wednesdi???

by **shakencity** Fri Feb 03, 2017 8:34 pm

West Ham slapped 10 in against the Shakers in the cup mid 80s (Devonshire, Cottee, Brooking, Parkes, etc, etc)...we only lost the home leg 2-1 aswell.

City never did it tho Dawg Razz

by **Topdawg** Fri Feb 03, 2017 8:36 pm

Who's had the biggest win in a cup final though?

by skyblueoz Sat Feb 04, 2017 10:16 am

Would that be 1903 den A certain 6-0

by skyblueoz Sat Feb 04, 2017 10:21 am

Noticed that it appears we are not on tv again this round. it appears televised games are:

Sutton v Arsenal
Fulham v Spurs
Wolves v Chelsea
Burnley v Lincoln

& Surprise surprise Blackburn v Uniturd........

I don't think Navas is all that personally

by **Topdawg** Sat Feb 04, 2017 10:55 am

If Hudds get through, I'm sure they'll be live on tv.

Yeah, but Huddersfield are 5th, Wolves are 16th...

by **Topdawg** Sat Feb 04, 2017 11:05 am

I don't begrudge Wolves getting the game really. I didn't think we'd be on tv. It is wrong, but it is just the way it is.

You are of course correct Oz cheers

by **shakencity** Sat Feb 04, 2017 11:18 am

Sorry, I don't get why Lincoln are on...if they were at home yes, but away no.....it's banker home win.

Tbh, I can understand why all the other games are on. I think the deciding game would have been Blackburn v Rags and Citys game.....and we had no chance in that 50-50 decision did we Rolling Eyes

by skyblueoz Sat Feb 04, 2017 11:24 am

Fulham V spurs

apart from a London Derby hardly a mouthwatering tie??????
