Quoted from Limerick Mariner


Completely different - Ipswich is the only league club in Suffolk and the only one Suffolk has ever had. Same as Norwich in Norfolk. Nearly all football fans from those two counties will support those two clubs. It would by like Lincolnshire without Lincoln City and Scunthorpe ever having been League clubs. Remember Lincoln are as old as Town. The support in the county has always been split in 2 and since 1950 in 3 (and that’s ignoring Boston).


Don't think Scunny are taking many fans from us  


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Got to say I'm not a fan of this situation. If we drew a Premier League side and then lost the replay it would be gutting. We're victims of our own success, I suppose.

Isn't it 60%?

9 out of our 15 possible opponents either are a premier league team or include a premiership team and a replay is due.

Anyone at home for me, if away then Moan Utd I suppose although that will bring out Luton’s strongest perhaps as per Poojah above, after that if Wednesday and Derby get through them, then Blades, Leicester or Leeds.

Said this yesterday and can guarantee this is what will happen, 100% nailed on. Man Utd away in the next round, million quid on the table and we’ll go out on pens/last minute scuff in the replay.

Having a wry laugh at this. I'm picturing similar to the Huddersfield cup match when we played ace but let two late goals in, the winner bobbling in off Aswad's bum.

Leeds would be good as the lad upstairs supports them.
