Shows how far the cup has slipped when there's no thread about the draw before or after it takes place! (until my post at least)

Newport away - could be worse although the weekend before Man U at home followed by Liverpool away, How far does Poch risk Kane and others on a "bumpy" pitch?

Tickets will be impossible...Rodney Parade (name of stadium) holds fewer than 8,000 for football.

Do they still let teams switch venues for extra income and opportunity to play at Wembley?

Your mate's wife is correct

Not unless the ground isn't fit for purpose i.e. health and safety.

Leeds had an allocation of 1300 for yesterday's match so yeah tickets will be hard to come by

I'm from Bettws Newport myself, it is a shit whole, coming by train is easy to, across the road to weatherspoons then over the bridge to Rodney parade.

Simples, will be a rough night for a lot of people expecting a lovely away day.

The only thing I know about Newport is that it is the home of Goldie Lookin' Chain. We need to destroy them/it.

They usually allow away fans in Spoons but for certain games (Pompey for instance) they're a bit more selective.

They allocate The Queens and The Lamb for away fans.

You still live in Bettws mate?

There’s a Spurs connection, with former player Chris Gunter coming from Newport. Other famous bods include actor Desmond Llewelyn who played Q in the Bond movies before becoming Daniel Levy’s full time gadget guru, tasked with fitting his high chair with pikey seeking missiles.

Montgomery of Alamein and the geezers who fought at Rorke’s Drift have the freedom of the city, which has recently hosted the Ryder Cup and a NATO conference. The imaginatively named Oriental Chinese Takeaway does a delightful Kung Po boyo isn’t it.

Of course they will....the proverbial minnow vs. giant. This is what the FACup is about and reinforces the image that they want to promote.
i would have thought so too, but after they decided to show the Spam game over ours, idk what they will do.
