Baldyboy 0 Posted February 12, 2007 sadly, i wont be going got an early start on wednesday, going for a 2-0 win for city though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unlucky Fried Kitten 0 Posted February 12, 2007 Yep, I''m going. I have a seat in the Barclay lower. Apparently the club have sold 17,500 tickets so far, which isn''t a bad response I suppose. I''m hoping there will be at least 20,000 people in the ground on the night, so that we don''t see too many empty seats. My score prediction: Three nil to us.

ca 1 Posted February 12, 2007 I''m going, think they''ve sold over 18000 tickets so far which I think is good for an evening replay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,618 Posted February 12, 2007 Wow, more than i expected. Over 18,000 now, and im assuming a reasonable amount might buy on the night.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Ginge 0 Posted February 12, 2007 sorry mate but we have 6000 tickets for Chelsea and I''ve been told that more than 6000 people have applied for tickets. If you didn''t apply by 2.00pm on Saturday then you ain''t getting a ticket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cluck 0 Posted February 12, 2007 I fear the Blackpool boys will be desperate for that trip to Chelsea....and we''ll be a tad rusty. I reckon 1-2... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tryingtofindmyfeet 0 Posted February 12, 2007 Wow! Some surprisingly optimistic score predictions on here tonight! I think they will just about scrape a win being without Lappin & Fotheringham. Maybe even penalties...? Will be brilliant if it comes down to penalties and we actually bleedin'' win for once!Is Brown suspended for the replay as he got a red card in the 1st leg? Or did he serve the ban in a league game? I can''t remember! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Monkey 52 Posted February 12, 2007 I''ve been going to Carrow Road for 10 years - since I was Hogesar''s age in fact - and have just realised that I''ve NEVER been to an FA Cup match there! Went to a York FA Cup match last season, but have never seen Norwich play in the competition! Probably something to do with limited opportunities to do so in the last 10 years...

blacko 0 Posted February 12, 2007 Sadly I did the ultimate romantic thing last October. I looked at the fixture list, decided there was not a cat in hells chance of any mid week footy this week, so booked up to take my wife to Paris for Valentines day. Oh sh*t!

[/quote]Blackpool Boys will be a tad rusty too though Cluck (according to the Pink Un they havent played since we last did either).I think it could well go to extra time and penalties and think it is really too close to call either way...I was hoping that we might go out to avoid the fixture congestion heading our way.. but with our game with Derby already being postponed for their 5th Round tie I am just hoping that we come through this tie injury and suspension free!!!

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted February 12, 2007 Fingers crossed for a win. 2-0. Would like to go to the Chelsea game all being well, but the only chance of that would be getting tickets with the home crowd no?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colourful Canary 0 Posted February 12, 2007 Blackpool had their match on Saturday postponed because of the weather as well.So both sides will be rusty (or well-rested, depending on your opinion)I predict a 5-2 win for City, coming from 2-1 down at half time. If Docherty plays, I predict a 5-6 defeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,513 Posted February 12, 2007 I''m going hogasear, and wiil be in my usual seat in the Lower Barclay.I hope we win and I think we will win, possibly 3-1 and hopefully Chris Brown can get a couple to set him on his way.My first FA Cup match was my first ever game at Carrow Road and was 40 years ago. I was 10 and it was the 5th round match against Sheffield Wednesday after we had won 2-1 at Old Trafford in the 4th round. I was part of a crowd of 42,000 and was stood right at the front in the South Stand. We lost 3-1.I don''t remember Ricardo''s first game, not sure I was even born!! [;)]I remember Smudgers against piswich though. Keith Bertschin used to play for them although we signed him from Birmingham. He played up front with John Deehan and the fans took to him quite well for an "ex-scummer"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted February 12, 2007 I can''t go but would have loved to - for me there''s still something special about cup games but midweek games really are hell at the best of times and with several other midweek matches already pencilled in (+ now Derby) this one really was difficult.Us being us we are bound to make heavy gonig of it, but can''t really see us losing, will go for 2-0 and a trip to Chelsea...

Gentleman Jim 0 Posted February 12, 2007 My first FA Cup match was in the 1st round at the Wellesley 1953, Great Yarmouth v Crystal Palace, (then 3rd.Div.South), whilst standing on a fish box saw the Bloaters win 1-0 ! "..their finest hour..." according to the Pink''un.On the same day City conquered the notorious Yeovil slope to win 2-0 before going out eventually in the 5th. round.Against Blackpool I fancy us to win about 4-1, can''t think why, just a feeling I have.

Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted February 12, 2007 I''m going and taking 3 friends along with me!The first cup match I really remember was Norwich Southampton, it was live on Radio Solent! Suffice to say that was my excuse as to why I didnt do my economics essay due the following day!! I distinctly remember the supply teacher making some funny comment after I told my excuse in class...I think the game may have been a replay and involve sendings off and something or other... Someone else can probably fill in the details - I may have to google it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
