Or would it not be fairer to play at a 'convenient' neutral ground, halfway between the two home venues to even out travelling costs for the fans. They'd probably get more at their home ground. If you play it q neutral ground I literally believe no City will turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they won't be making a film about Ederson! Last time I went to Etihad was several years ago, as I have been here too long, because my Thai GF was in love with Joe Hart and wanted to see him in life. We beat Reading 2-1.

But I wonder what Newport's fan base is if only 7850 can go to a home match, how many would travel, 100%. Which is maybe 10% of City, or less.

Guess If they make a remake of The Adams Family then Ederson could get the role of Lurch. Ps. My missus favourite was joe hart, guess he's roop lor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No actually, Ashton under Lyne, on which the Etihad is on the New Road. I used to frequent The Fletcher's Arms down near the sewage works between Denton & Bredbury in 60s.

If your ground is no good, don't enter the competition. There is big prize money now to compensate. There never used to be any. Saw Newport roll over Leicester.

I thought the same. But just looked on the FA Cup rules and there is a provision under Para 9 (a) (I) that with the Professional Game Boards consent the venue can be switched. Although it doesn't actually state it, maybe they will only grant consent in extenuating circumstances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that Sutton would have moved their tie 2 seasons ago v Arsenal to the Emirates, for example. I cannot think of a game being moved in that way in the last 5 years, maybe more.

Bredbury Blue Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Nervy nervy game. Should have had a few; laporte and gundogan (crossbar) should have. Bernard very close with evertons chance. Great header by laporte on HT. Saw everton vs wolves and they were rubbish..today playing well. Won't end 0v1. Nervy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Can't remember such a nervy game. Must have looked at the time every minute or 2. Dug it out, ground it out, call it what you will, but it was a grind. Everton gave a very good showing of themselves; otamendi will be checking for calvert-lewin all week (the youngster had the better of him). Every time this season we had a chance to get away from Liverpool or catch up we blew our chance; this is the first time we did what was required of us. Better!!!

carmine Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I've just been reading a piece where Guardiola is complaining about the packed fixture schedule. I totally agree with him but i can't help thinking that he secretly sees it as a positive, which it is for City, because at the end of the day, bar anything untoward happening this will only benefit the clubs with the strongest squad. And it is, right about now, february, where the fatigue, fixture congestion all starts to take its toll. The only flaw to this argument would be Leicester who suffered virtually no injuries at all, with Ranieri being able to focus just on the league and with the same fit starting eleven. As said earlier in the season i have never doubted Liverpool's ability to go toe to toe with City but over thirty-eight games its highly unlikely.
