    Boro will sell out whatever we give them (within reason obviously).
    But at home against a fragile out of form team, albeit massive favourites, with fans teetering on turning on them, could be worse draws!

    It'll be £15 and we'll get around 12,000 ....

    It’ll be £15 - which I think is fair!

    As for allocation, we have to offer them 15%. It makes logistical and policing sense to give them the entire Midland Road.

    Good draw in my opinion.

    Last 2 Yorkshire sides in the competition.

    Sell out away following you would imagine to boost the coffers.

    Got to believe that it is a winnable tie against a Championship side.

    Bring it on

    If you can’t get a massive team,anything at home that generates a decent away following was the next best thing.

    Yep - 4,000 travelling fans in Midland Road???

    We should be good for another 8-10k you would think if £15 a pop.

    It will be similar to the 2nd round game against Blackburn last season,a crowd of about 10,000 and a narrow defeat for us.

    My source was correct then - signed for them today on a season-long loan. Unfortunately he isn't cup tied either...watch him play a blinder against us! : unamused:

    We did against Blackburn and the crowd was sub-8,000.

    Don't think we did, we had to sit in the lower Kop as we were stopped by stewards from gaining entry to the upper Kop.
