But to Answer Mr Bean, I went to Bury to see the Blades in an FA Cup Replay on a cold miserable tuesday night even though we won it was still one of the
****tiest grounds and experiences i have had at football and I couldn't believe that they used to play a lot of England U-21 matches there :o

Just goes to show, you can't use "we hosted an U-21 match" as any sign of your ground being remotely any good, can you?

i remember going to the shay in halifax befor they spent a tenner on it-not that was a s***hole

Went there in the dim, dark days of Division Four (we won 5-1), and yes, it was terrible. Altrincham in the Cup the same season was probably the worst ground I've ever seen United play at though.

I think the easier the route the better the prize money looks like it could help a few teams.

we could do with that 75,000:thumbsup:

Unless you draw a game at Old Trafford or something similar; which'll pay a lot more than any prize money would bar actually winning the thing.

I also remember going to Bury in 1980..ya right CB, what a s***hole! Been to a lot of crappy grounds but another that seems to stick out is the old Burnden Park (Bolton Wanderers) with the 'Normid' supermarket in one corner of the ground!! :hihi:

there are still some **** grounds now, like chesterfield or luton for example. But i have been to places like the old show ground and seen united play scunthorpe, that was a poor ground too

i remember going there .plough lane was an experience as well with the railway line running at the back at the open stand.

I went to Scunthorpe when United lost 1 0 in the old 4th division.I did'nt think it was to
bad,at least all four sides of the ground were covered.Remember how many
grounds back then had uncovered terraces,I remember getting soaked on a
few occasions.

ah the good old days . rather that then the billiard table pitches ,over paid players rolling around like they have been shot and all seating crap we have now

I don't look back at those days with much nostalgia to be honest.I loved
standing up and think we should adopt the German approach when it comes to this,but watching football back then(1980's)was a bit sh***.I remember going
to Bradford when they chucked the contents of a billiard table into the Blades
fans, and I remember getting bottled and bricked at various grounds.Getting
soaked whilst standing at Oldham,Huddersfield etc still makes me shiver when I think about it.

but on the pitch the football was better and more entertaining. the players were actually allowed to tackle in the old days

leyton orient v blades

chance of upset for us ,bit of a banana skin for blades

Nice draw for the Blades, never been to Orient despite previously living just 10 minutes from their ground.

At least i'll be able to stay at the in laws that weekend and get the tube over to Leyton.

i was hoping for an away trip to one of the non league teams

Ive been to Luton you almost walk through some1s front room to get to the away stand lol.

I think it is an old terraced house that you walk through, so probably was someone's front room!
It's a long time since I went there, but oh my, I'd struggle to think of a worse ground. Great away days they were!

Just looking at the following posts, Oxford's old ground with its 50 stands, was a sight!:hihi:

And Boltons yellow line painted on the floor* was just laughable.



*for anyone who hasn't been, you couldn't see bugger all behind the line, and hardly needed pointing out


So Orient away! Never been there.

There's always the 4th round m8 ;););)

You'll do 4 me thanks:thumbsup:.

Good draw for you then, Mr Blyth Spartans fan......... if you can finish the job off.

Anyone going? Im not sure if i fancy this one, there ground is about 3 miles away from Upton Park isnt it? and to make things worse, theyve drawn Barnsley at home!

Same neck of the woods, definitely. Consequently I'd expect the two games to be played on different days, if only to prevent two lots of South Yorkshire fans all trying to book the same train to London.

could be a nightmare for the police with the blunts and dingles all using the same train!

I can't see a problem there,if they are both Saturday afternoon kick offs the Blades will leave around
9.00 to 10.30 Saturday morning, alighting at St Pancreas to make their way to Brisbane road by various means of transport.
The Dingles on the other hand will be setting off at 2.00 on the Friday afternoon in 25

I reckon it will be a good test against Fulham, there punching above there weight in the Premier League in my opinion, although at time's they can be a dangerous little side nothing more, id have took Fulham at the start and am looking forward to the match, id rather Fulham at home than some of the tie's which have been drawn, all in all the draw has been a bit of a let down for most team's.
Not many all Premiership tie's either just 3 there's usally quite a few.

theres a few blunts in sheffield-so you cant say there are NO pig fans

I see another thread is being let down by people.
"you're a pig" - "no you're a pig".
I might go see my 2 year old nephew for a more reasoned chat.

Anyways,

I'm happy with drawing Leyton Orient. Ground I've never been too and a good away draw. I'll be there.

As for the Owls, I think they have a good chance of beating Fulham, as their away form is shocking. However I believe it to be a poor draw for them - moneywise. There won't be a big crowd.
