It’s West Brom at home!

Don't know what to make of that. Even tho it's a prem side I doubt it will be on tv. They might rest a few. Hard game but still a chance to go through.
 
That is a decent draw when we are home to a PL side.
Realistic chance of an upset.
Assume there will be 2000 fans present too.

Doubt it will be on TV. Lots of other glamour ties in that round.

True, Marine, Stockport, QPR, Villa, Chorley, Bristol Rovers, Newport at a guess, but I think that there may be as many as 16 televised on a mixture of platforms, so there's a chance
 
Not the best draw but a good draw nonetheless. We're at home and the players can pit themselves against some better quality.
 
Half of the iFollow won't be too bad and they might want a better quality of coverage and get a production company in.
 
Winnable if they choose to rest some of their players. Not the worst draw, ultimately there are only 20 Prem clubs and we drew one of them at home.
 
Plenty of games to come before then. Depending on how we have done in those games could determine the team we put out. Whatever team it is though it should still be a fairly strong one. They will pretty much put out a reserve team but they've still got some quality in there.
 
A bit disappointed with that draw to be honest. At least its at home. could have been worse, an away draw at some dullish Championship club like Luton, Reading or Huddersfield would have been worse. Don’t see why we can’t win it UTP
 
Not the VERY winnable game I was hoping for but with positive head on still winnable.
As has been said they will be concentrating on PL survival and they have a very tough game away at West Ham three days later so I doubt we will be playing their best eleven.

That's the one. Apparently no one had a watch. They were constantly asking us for the time. I left it to my mate from Burton who had a sort of Midlands accent.
 
Only won one out of ten prem games, not a great record. As others have said all their focus will be on the league.

Yeah I was on that train. I remember having to walk past the station pretending I hadn’t been at the match (scarf under my jacket) to avoid getting a hammering.
Walking back from the other direction got in OK unchallenged.

The away section emptied before the game ended and me and my mates from school were the only Pool fans left when we scored - according to my memory! Anyway we went berserk obviously and got stared at by the west Brom fans on the other side of the railings and we didn't expect to reach the car in one piece but somehow avoided that, i think we actually missed the fighting by staying to the final whistle.

Can anyone honestly say they saw our goal? It was at the other end of the ground. Ainscow maybe? Walsh?

Bob Hatton scored from close range with about five minutes left. I saw it, but didn't manage to avoid getting a slap round the back of the head on the way back to the FB double decker.

I reckon they admired the boing boing credentials of me and my mates and chose to slap someone else round the head. Possibly. Sorry about that. I don't think they did the boing boing thing before then, they were probably so impressed with our celebration that they adopted a version of it.
