If we draw Man Utd they would be really up for the game as we have beaten them more times than they have beaten Town.
With a win, Man Utd would be LEVEL with us on games won. AND we would still hold the highest attendance at Old Trafford.

Actually, I might have that wrong. It might be Man Utd who have beaten us one more time than we have beaten them. We will have to beat them to level the record. Even more incentive for us then.

From a football perspective, it would be great to get a 'winnable' game but failing that an away tie at a non- London (or further south) Prem club where we could take a good away crowd for a great day out and a finance boost for the January window.

Quoted from mimma
In my life time, 65 years, I have seen Town play every team except one, Man Utd. We last played them in the 46 - 47 season.

Surly law of averages means we must play them soon!



Absolutely - this fixture is long overdue - if we we draw them this time - we'll probably play them twice more in the next 10 years to average it out.

With 63 potential opponents,  these are the rough percentages ( not worked out on a calculator)

Championship (24 clubs):  38% (Leeds, Hull, Sheff Wed, or Sheff United)

Premiership (20 clubs):  32%

Assuming home teams with their replays:

Division 1: (13 teams):  20% (Barnsley, Rotherham or Sunderland)

Division 2:  (3 teams):  5% (Lincoln, Oldham or Newport - assuming they beat Wrexham at home in the replay).
  
NL:  (3 teams):  5% (Woking, Barnet and Southport - assuming that they beat Tranmere in their replay at home).

....................

Chance of top 6 Prem team:  10%

With our luck we'll get those giants of the premiership,  Bournemouth away, a long distance to travel, not much money to make, their ground only holds just under 10k, and we would lose.
   Just realised the draw is on at the same time as Coronation Street, have to send the missis to Tesco.

In all honesty we have a 63/1 chance of drawing each and every team!

My 12 year old nephew over in Rotherham supporting them in the CHAMPIONSHIP will not be happy with you.
