Whilst i may have disagreed with some of your posts in the past, after my initial disappointment with the draw, i have to say i'm agreeing with your views about it now and loving your positivity. Beating them after a replay would be even better financially?Lysaght Dancer wrote:I don’t get why this is looked at as a bad draw. In fact, financially, it’s a very good one.
With half gate reciepts, tv and participation fees, we could be looking at close to £200k for this tie.
We could play a big standard team at home or away, have none of the above and get knocked out.
This is a good draw. Plus we will beat them anyway.
Re: Round 2
62Many potentially worse draws - looking at the teams drawn at home, I'd prefer this to most. Looks nailed on for TV. If it's on the main BBC, it kills two birds with one stone and BBC Wales can keep their own money in their pocket.
I predict we win via a replay and S4C stumps up for that.

However this game is a Welsh derby.
Don't agree there Brendan. If Chester were to play Cheltenham, (similar locations and distances) would that be seen as an English derby?
It is certainly a Welsh FA cup tie, but not a derby.
Re: Round 2
64All very positive in my book - good trip - good financially, and very winnable.
We could have had Crewe Away first round, lost and earned 2/5s of Fook all.

Re: Round 2
67This fixture and possible progression is worth £ to us, stuff we are short of .... imo we should play as strong as team as possible.
No matter how low a Lge 1 side we play .... maybe wrong but Oxford may have been bottom ? .... there is a huge gulf in squad ability .... anything less than our very strongest line up will result in defeat imo.

Re: Round 2
73But the term Derby means big match. As such Swansea v Cardiff would be the biggest Welsh game. Newport and Wrexham are the third and fourth biggest clubs in Wales. The Welsh equivalent of Chelsea v Manchester United?pembsexile wrote:Stan A. Einstein wrote:You are more right than you realize. A Derby was originally any big match.

Re: Round 2
74Interesting twist. The week before the cup-tie, Wrexham play Justin Edinburgh' Leyton Orient.
Re: Round 2
75I've been to two of the big verbal derbies - Newport v Newport and the late Wokingham Town v Woking.
