FA Cup 3rd Round Draw 13:54 - Dec 7 with 1910 viewsRSCOSWORTH

We're number 59 in the bag this evening. Who do we all want to draw?

For me personally it's Liverpool at home but I'd take any home draw that fills the WHCS. Surely we're due a big draw.

Poll: How many polls will Leadbelly do this season?

Well it was a pretty underwhelming draw but I suppose it could have been worse....someone like Bury away or something! But I don't understand where all this optimism about actually beating Charlton is coming from. Yes they're struggling near the bottom of the Championship, but we're struggling near the bottom of League 1 and were extremely fortunate to beat a team struggling near the bottom of a league two divisions below us last Sunday! Also we'll probably be without our star man up front, Callum Harriott, by then (and how we're going to miss him when he goes!). As far as the crowd goes, I can't see the tie attracting more than 5000, and half of them will probably be Charlton fans.

A far bigger and important match for the U's will be taking place this Saturday at the WHCS. If we don't beat bottom club Barnsley then we really will be in the shite!

The only reason I have any optimism that we could get a result is because it's the FA Cup.

As for the attendance, the three times they've travelled to the WHCS it's been:

5094 16/8/11 (a Tuesday night)
6112 1/1/11 (New Year's Day)
7098 29/9/9 (a Tuesday night)

A Saturday game and a lower ticket price could draw in a crowd.

Right, Daniel.

Athletic will likely be more concerned about survival in the Championship. So who knows what squad they field.

But they do travel well. Possibly the biggest attendance at the WHCS all season.

Poll: In Daniel's PL, Sector4 is top, I'm 2nd or 3rd depending on the update

My money is on Lionel being the highest attendance of the season! (Richie not Messi)

No doubt boosted by fans known as "The Commodores" as in once, twice, three times a season.

Poll: Safe standing at football; yes, know or don't know?

Just hope the back four don't make too "Easy" for Charlton.

But let's hope our defence is as solid as a "Brick House".

No Gerry. "Brick House" was, in my view, The Commodores' finest, although Lionel didn't take lead vocal on that one.
