FA Cup Rd 3 - Cheltenham away

[lancer]

The only positive is our best performances have been away from home

[Amber Andy]

I was relieved that we didn’t get Newport away at the end.

Me too. Main thing it's winnable

[Sandy Pate Best Stag]

Our form away is better so it may be a blessing in disguise.

Win that one and on to round four.

[Field Mill]

Worst possible draw. Away to a team in the same division. Zero interest from the TV companies means zero cash for the club. Awful, awful draw.

[Staggyfox]

What’s the prize money for appearing in round 3?

[lifestags]

It could of been a lot worse ie Bristol rovers/Preston away, not a great draw though but if we’re a more consistent team by then then it’s a chance to win.

[NorthLondonStag]

Worst possible draw. Away to a team in the same division. Zero interest from the TV companies means zero cash for the club. Awful, awful draw.

Not the worst possible. That would have been a championship team away (other than forest).
Still no TV interest and very little chance of winning.
At least we have a decent chance of winning.
And let’s not forget We ARE IN tHe THIRD Round.

[NorthLondonStag]

What’s the prize money for appearing in round 3?

None. We’ve had that. No prize for losing at this stage.
It’s 82k if we win the next game.

[bellwhiff]

Arsegravy but it’s worth noting that the last time we played away in Gloucestershire, we won

[Amberheart]

Omg terrible draw how disappointing was that !

[Staggyfox]

0-0 earlier in the season when we played them at their ground.....All we need is a consistent keeper and a goal scorer.....easy......oh wait...

[Gazmoose82]

Boring draw for a boring season...
Uninspiring

[robbingdog]

when is the 4th round draw??????? have faith

[pemill]

Worst possible draw. Away to a team in the same division. Zero interest from the TV companies means zero cash for the club. Awful, awful draw.

I thought the worst possible draw was Newport away, we dodged that one by one ball.

[chip63]

Can't see this game being on tv or iplayer, so how does that work regards ifollow?

Hope it is same as the Sunderland game

[Martin Shaw]

Hope it is same as the Sunderland game

I would have thought so.

[adamstag]

One way of looking at it is if we can beat Sunderland away there’s no reason why we can’t beat Cheltenham away.

I’d have preferred Cheltenham which is doable than somewhere like Cardiff away which we got the last time we got to the 3rd round.

It’s not really exciting and doesn’t get he pulse racing but on the face of it it’s doable.

COYS

[Beano]

I think it’s a good opportunity to get £82k and a place in the 4th round.

With no crowds, prize money is the only benefit of getting through this season.

[Birminghamstag10]

Rather Cheltenham than a L1 or Championship opponent. Home would have been better but it's definitely doable and we may be in a different place come January. Here's hoping!

[arsene wengers coat]

That's not that bad! It's totally winnable.

I like the idea of round 4. It's an unassuming tie, but we've got a half decent chance to progress.

[frt1987]

I think it’s a great draw...would have probably been better at home but a lot better than a championship side or league one side away from home.
It’s winnable with the same money available as any other draw handed to us and a realistic chance to get through to round 4!

£82000 if we win, then let's have a big draw when we can cash in.

[Spiritater]

If we win we're in the 4th round. I think the last time we got that far we were crap in t'League and were relegated to the mud pit at the end of t'season.
Please, please not again
