What a lovey story re Newport County:

FA Cup: 'Newport v Man Utd not possible without my dad' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-68096720

Fifth round draw will now take place at half-time between Liverpool and Norwich City due to a delay in the West Brom v Wolves game.

Rovers 3 v Wrexham 1 🫡

 

[goozburger.]

Newcastle United at home if we get through.

Maidstone United will be well pissed off with that draw.

 

[khmerblue]

Easy draw

 

[Barmitzvah Boy]

Newcastle at home does not exactly warm my cockles. I would have preferred a bigger club.

Well at least there will be a great atmosphere IF we manage to get past Wrexham.

Though it will be more like a Newcastle home game.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Are the Wrexham predictions going on this thread? If so 2-1 to us.

The 5th round is midweek,i hope Rovers are not on live as the barcode tie should be a full house.

It is a certainty it is on live.

 

[khmerblue]

If its midweek there are 8 ties, city utd and liverpoo are certianties. Then we have Maidstone who will be on, so i dont know.

If the game is live both Rovers and Newcastle get £125k each in tv fees and each get 45% of the ticket revenue.

We earned £120k from the FA prize fund by winning last night and we will get £225k from the FA if we beat Newcastle.

Big money these days to a club like Rovers.

Do you know how much we got for the game being on bbc wales last night.

 

[khmerblue]

Bloody Newcastle hit form 3 up at Villa with 30 mins left.

 

[Barmitzvah Boy]

£110

Do you know how much we got for the game being on bbc wales last night.

£110k to Rovers

 

[khmerblue]

Mmmm just as i thought ,if we had played at 3pm sat we would have charged maybe 25 quid so in reality we have lost.
