1952Owl Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 For those who said forget FA CUP.... wrong. We have a lucrative money making home draw. Just like the old days. 1000s of Geordie fans. Beer sales through the roof. Beres pork sarnies sell out. Car parking hell. Probably get thrashed but let's enjoy the moment and think back to the good old days eh fellow Owls.

musingowl Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 We got less than 21,000 for a 5th round tie against Man City 3 years ago. I don't think this is a bigger pull than that game. I'd expect a few extra thousand in the home end, allowing for less of a black cloud hanging over the club than in 2020, and it (hopefully) not being a night game. SAG will probably limit them to 4.5k tickets, don't think they sell beer on Leppings Lane end either so there's 2 losses of revenue. I'd guess around 26/27k tops. Call me a miserable sod but I honestly can't get remotely excited about this one. It wasn't that long ago we were fighting them for promotion. Now they're a massive club again because they're splashing some blood money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to admit, even reading that back from this morning I'm astounded with how miserable I was in that post. Shouldn't post before my first coffee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
