Nice medium sized club within easy travelling distance. Could have been better, could have been worse. Decent stadium. If tickets are done right, every regular and season ticket holder should be taken care of. Let’s see what happens.

The cup gods have shat on us again. Not a big money spinner and not really winnable.

And they might concentrating on their promotion...
Surprise Stones win against Ipswich under-23 side - first ever NS side in the 5th round...

If they give us 15% of the gate that should be 4,500 tickets. Based on their Wiki capacity.

Following that sequence and if they’re keeping an eye on the league and play a weakened side we might scrape a draw and get them back to The Gallagher. The chances of it being televised are virtually zero.

Ipswich. Could be worse, I suppose. And relatively easy travel... Already checked,rail engineering works and replacement buses between Colchester and Ipswich 🤬

The chances of it being televised are virtually zero. We are the lowest placed club in the draw - might even be the only nonleague side left by then. Surely the TV people will be going for the 'plucky little club', 'first time ever in the 4th round', 'magic of the Cup' stuff? They love all that bollocks.

It could have been a lot worse- Championship side second in the table- decent ground with an average attendance of £28k this season - nice fans and reasonable close. Will be a good day out. Looking forward to it already

Not the worst, but a VERY long way from being the best. How much are we going to make from this - with and without TV money? And Newport or Eastleigh get Man U...

Already checked,rail engineering works and replacement buses between Colchester and Ipswich 🤬 It’ll be Thursday night on TV as a sop to being ignored last time. £80,000 TV money. £300,000 our share of gate receipts. £20,000 gate receipts for the replay. £120,000 prize money for winning the replay on penalties. £500,000+ in total. These figures (and results) may be complete fantasy.
