newcastle uni canary 0 Posted October 25, 2009 i will be disapointed if the tie is not played there. this is (not meaning to sound patronising) probably one of the biggest games in the club''s career and they deserve to have the game played at Winterfield Road. i don''t care if we can''t take too many fans this is their moment and i hope it''s not ruined by having to be played at another ground Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluebirdazza 0 Posted October 25, 2009 And also playing Paulton at Paulton is a potential banana skin, for these reasons:The pitch has a notiable slope, open to the elements, the Paulton side have, in my opinion, one of the best keepers at lower level football. Five or six other players that would not be out of place in the Conference South and very Small team facilities. But in your favour, if you can''t get tickets go down to somerset, bring your binoculars and stand on the slag heap which over looks the ground, this is a left over from the days when Paulton was at the heart of Somerset Coal Fields. Yesterday there was on Paulton suppourter with binoculars stod on the slag heap watching the game (all to save £7).

TIL 1010 4,657 Posted October 25, 2009 [quote user="Shaker"]Fantastic draw, my old man lives half a mile from there. Got to be moved to Bris Rovers or City. I got season ticket and ten stubs from last season but even so dont much rate chances of getting a ticket if they decide to play at there ground.[/quote]Slight problem with moving it to "Bris Rovers" as you put it Shaker,they have been drawn to play at home in Round one as well.

TIL 1010 4,657 Posted October 25, 2009 [quote user="Matt"][quote user="Canary_on_the Trent"]The Paulton chairman has been on and says the authorities may not allow the game to be played at their place, would it be moved to Ashton Gate? Would certainly allow us to take a far larger following but does lose the feel about the cup[/quote] Any idea how they are allocating tickets yet?? I went to watch Paulton V Chippenham yesterday.....and still have my stub!![/quote]Blimey,less than to hours since the draw and you honestly think that the two Clubs secretaries and the local plod have been in contact to discuss ticketing arrangements and safety and security issues?All that can be said for sure at this stage is that under FA cup rules the visiting club can demand 25% of capacity and 25% of what looks to be 2,000 will give NCFC major headaches in attempting to pacify our 1200 to 1500 away regulars.

Syteanric 1 Posted October 25, 2009 im sure they cant move games anymore, or if they can it has to be a neutral venue...... it will be played at Winterton road.. if they do move it then most likely Twerton park...Im willing to bet they will construct a temporary stand for Norwich...If it IS being played at Winterton road then im guessing ITV or Sky might have their eye on it....hope so!

AndyJR 0 Posted October 25, 2009 CANARIES COME TO PAULTON Written by Tony Walsh   Sunday, 25 October 2009 Norwich City at Winterfield Road in 1st Round Proper ''Joner'' ecstatic Weekend 7 or 8 November 2009 The draw for the first round proper of the FA Cup paired Rovers number 78 at home to number 33 Norwich City. Players and supporters packed the club as the draw was announced. Full details for the match will be posted as soon as all issues have been addressed with the FA, Police, BANES council and our opponents.The game is probably going to be all ticket. Prices to be confirmed with Norwich and the FA. Details of when they go on sale will be announced. Once Norwich''s allocation gas been agreed it is likely that they will be sold on the following basis- 1 Members who have their voucher from entry to the Chippenham game as well as voucher given at next Saturday''s home game v Taunton Town2 Members who have Taunton voucher 3 All club members 4 Supporters who have Taunton voucher 5 Then any remaining tickets will go on sale Please do not ring the club at this stage. Watch this site and local press, radio and TV for details. A life-changing experience'' - that is how Paulton Rovers boss Andrew Jones has described his heroic side''s forthcoming FA Cup tie against Norwich City. Zamaretto League Division 1 South & West outfit Paulton - the lowest-ranked team left in this year''s competition - are set to appear live on Sky TV after being drawn at home to the League 1 high-fliers in the first round proper. And Jones admitted he was pinching himself at the thought of his minnows taking on a club which has reached the FA Cup semi-finals on three occasions. "I still can''t believe it, it''s an incredible draw," said the boss, whose side have already dispatched higher-league Newport County and Chippenham Town to reach the first round proper for the first time in the club''s history. "It is one of the biggest games we could have got and we are at home so we could not have asked for anything more.

"This game will be a life-changing experience for the players and the club." Jones and his players watched the draw live on television at Rovers'' Winterfield Road stadium. "There was a big cheer when we came out of the hat at home," said the boss. "Then there was a ginormous cheer when Norwich came out! "We have been earmarked by Sky TV as one of their live games and we are having a meeting with the FA tomorrow to ensure we can host the tie. We definitely want to hold it here and we don''t see any problems." Rovers are home to Taunton Town in the league on Saturday and are considering issuing vouchers on the day giving priority to people who want a ticket for the Norwich game, which will be played the following weekend. Canaries manager Paul Lambert - who won the Champions League as a player with Borussia Dortmund - admitted the tie would be a trip into the unknown. "We don''t know very much about Paulton Rovers so we''ll be doing our homework and preparing for the cup tie as we would any game in the league or the cup," he said. "If you take people for granted in this competition you tend to get punished for it, so we will make sure we go into the game properly prepared. "It''s a first for me as a manager, I didn''t play non-league sides when I was at Wycombe or Colchester, so it''s a challenge I will be looking forward to as well, as I''m sure all the players will be." The Norwich match will be Rovers'' first against Football League opposition since 1906, when they lost to Crewe Alexandra in the fifth qualifying round.

Old Shuck 182 Posted October 25, 2009 No, I didn''t think Sky had FA Cup rights either-it was ITV and Setanta, maybe Sky stepped in when Setanta dropped out and became the broadcast partner, though you''d have thought ESPN might have taken on the FA Cup as part of the Prem package they bought up Setanta''s rights?
