How does knowing your number spoil the surprise?

More to the point, why does it bother you so much?

Well my question was really to Loyal1970. It's his complaint. I'm sorry to discuss it in a discussion forum thiough :wtf:

You're asking LC why he's "bothered"? There is someone complaining about numbers being released spoiling what two seconds worth of surprise as the announcer looks up which club matches up with which number. If you're asking anyone why they're bothered surely it's got to be Loyal :doh:

 

[Lundan Cabbie]

You should think about poor old Arsenal fans. They know that they are ball No.1 in the third round every year. (Well until Accrington Stankey get to the Championship)

Any non-league at home. Failing that, Exeter at home. I expect somebody like Oldham away.

It's all about the suspense!

If you look back you'll see that I agreed with Loyal - thanks for the arbitration attempt though.

It's just one of those weird little football fan quirks, we've all got one...

What numbers are AFC Bournemouth and AFC Wimbledon then?? :think:

 

[Ham Green]

Well Torquay and Willand both failed, so our only chance of a Devon derby rests with Exeter.

Rovers showed us how to beat Dorchester

Wimbledon are in Division Four so if they make the third round their number in the draw will relate to their "tie number" from the second round. The first tie being drawn in R2 gets ball No.45 in R3, the second tie 46 etc etc.

Should the FA decide to class Bournemouth alphabetically using the word "Association" rather than "Bournemouth" then Arsenal would surely still come first?

Bristol city at home for me, would pull in a good gate with a big away following, slip out after a decent performence and concentrate on the league

I don't really understand that logic.

Bristol City isn't a big tie at all, I've seen us play them home and away many times, if we consider that to be a big game then I think it shows how far we've sunk, a big game is Arsenal, Chelsea etc.

I've got no problem with slipping out of the League cup or even the JPT and concentrating on the league, but the FA cup is a prestigious tournament and one I always like to see us give a good go.

Where do i say it's a big tie?

Wimbledon are in Division Four

"Division Four" became Barclays Division Three in 1992 and then Coca-Cola League Two in 2004. Its current name is Sky Bet League Two.

Just saying.
