FA TROPHY 4th Round Draw

[Shredding Green]

"The draw for the fourth round proper of the Buildbase FA Trophy will be made live on talkSPORT 2 radio on Monday afternoon."

At last The FA have announced an indication of when the draw will be held.

Shredding, an FA Draw thread has already been put up.

Not sure why another one is needed.

Sorry RR that I had not noticed your topic that was begun around midnight. The FA website had absolutely nothing about when the draw was until later this morning.

York City away!!!!!

Away to York City

 

[GlenSTFC]

Not sure how I feel about this one! Love the city and certainly thinking of making a weekend of it plus it’s a new (if a little bland) ground to visit. But same level and very tough opponent… am I right all trophy games are now settled on the day? Not sure we’d take that many as it’s long trek, maybe 200 max?

Selfishly an absolute belter of a draw for me!!!!!?

[Reading Rebel]

Although it's not at home it looks to be a good draw for a change.

York play at a nearly brand new multi purpose leisure complex in Huntington, York.

The surface is reinforced grass.

York have the highest average attendance in the NLN of around 3,000.

Not sure if the gate money is split 50/50 or a third each with the FA but either way it should be a good pay day for us.

Obviously depends on what the ticket prices are set at but if normal league prices I’d doubt this would attract much more than 2,000. I think it’s 45% to both clubs and 10% to the FA but remember that’s after all costs are deducted so from a 2,000 crowd you may only be looking at a few thousand. I say let’s win the game grab the £5,500 prize and progress, that’ll be my plan!!!

Personally think it is a brilliant draw, a club steeped in tradition, playing in a fantastic new ground, a brilliant excuse for a weekend away in York which is a lovely City (subject to COVID).

Would be brilliant to see a fantastic following all congregated together behind the goal (check the Chorley fans in their recent game).

I won't be going on the train like I usually do because : There are not many cheaper tickets available being just 26 days away and the cheapest Kings Cross - York return or two singles are £83 to £119. That is well over double what I pay when booking eight weeks in advance. All services are marked as "delays of sixty minutes due to engineering diversions between Kings Cross and Peterborough".

I'm sure the 'Rebels on Tour' coach will be a lot cheaper and quicker Shredding.

What a great day out looks a superb stadium.                  Rebels on Tour.

Segregation will be in place.

Unless they decide different £20 adults and £15 concessions.

Agreed, Neil. Also similar level to us in NLN so definitely winnable. Also possibility of staying for the weekend with my lovely son, daughter in law and grandchild. Is 7 months too early to take him to a rebel's game?

We'll probably all be in Lockdown in January ! ?

[BFR]

Do we know when tickets are going on sale for this?

[Neil Baker]

Think we will hear more this week, believe York were just waiting on if there were any further restrictions.

There's nothing on the York web site about tickets so presumably they haven't finalized things yet.

Pricing is finalised, but as Bakes said, they just wanted to hold off announcing and releasing tickets until after the holiday period in case any restrictions were announced.
