Drawn Millwall v Daggers

How’s your bloody luck!
F#kin tampworth get the y never mind turning over millwall in their turf should be a good day out

Any money it's a 12:30 Sunday kick off.

Good old F.A.

Not a great draw but suppose it could also have been worse. A positive is that it's not far to travel.

Not one of the first teams we’d have picked, but not also one of the last.

We have been given tough ties for the last two rounds, we won the last two rounds and why can’t we do it again? I’ll just have the winner of Arsenal vs United in the fourth round.

Lets be honest it really wasn't the draw we wanted but I know one thing it'll be cracking atmosphere, and really hope its a fantastic day and a decent advert to show what real football embedded in the smoke is all about, right London characters giving it just banter and keeping it at that. One thing Millwall is very good at Passionate Nationalists and the love of St George so are WE deeply!

From a purely financial point of view, their two home cup games last season drew 10,000 (capacity 20) for leicester in the FA Cup and 4,700 for Reading in the League Cup, so not expecting a lot there.

We have made a decent amount of money so far but what would make a huge difference would be tv coverage again for this game but not sure if attractive enough.
Also like previous two rounds complete underdogs so nothing to lose.

We've been picked for the TV, ITV4,

Great money for the club, not so great for the fans.

As per usual no one gives a flying f..k about us fans.
If we win I fully expect a 12:30 kick off away to Newcastle on a Sunday.
The glamour of the cup eh!

Does this mean we are in the hat for the 4th round draw?

There are always weeknight games now, it’s crap, no one wants them. But when will we next be in the third round, away at a Championship team? Not ideal circumstances but it’s up to us to be there and make the most of the day. And that’s certainly what I’ll be doing.

Again not suit everyone but tv coverage amounts to a further £85,000 for the club, so this seasons cup run has been very lucrative.

Yes, fantastic money which may allow
us to make some decent signings if in
playoff contention.
