    I am delighted that our manager decided to put a strong side out ,resulting in progress to the next round . I am particularly pleased for our hardcore fans who made the long round trip , it will make the journey home a very pleasant one . There are other reasons why todays game was very important , it means we receive more cash for getting through & obviously if we pull a plum there will be more cash to hopefully strengthen in january but I think the main point is that goals & wins breed confidence in the players & the club . We have netted eight times in two rounds & that will have done individual players the power of good , some fans think the competition is a waist of time & ridicule it , thats fine thats their opinions, whilst I am looking forward to the draw on monday & hopefully we get one of the big boys ,then myself & others who enjoy the competition can go and enjoy the day , well done the reds .

    Yes exactly , you get a fair wedge for getting through each round & like I said earlier , those of us who like the competition can enjoy another game & those who do not care for it, can stop at home & think about what a waste of time the competition is, its a win win for everyone .

    FA Cup will always be the best knockout tournament in England. I'm really glad we're in the 3rd round. Its the giant killing round

    I hope we get a home tie with a team much weaker than us.... yes I know it lifts players to greater hight's ,
    but to progress a couple or maybe 3 rounds would be great . Then a tie at one of the bigger teams in the prem. It would give the players a good deal of confidence too. Lets face it we are not gonna win it, but a good run and perhaps a top team would be great.

    We've gained £90000 so far, another £135500 on top of that if we win the 3rd round match

    There’s no better boost for morale than winning games.

    The miraculous turnaround under Flitcroft all started with an injury time winner from Danny Rose on a horrible, rainy January day.

    As usual I hope we get one of the big 6 or a minnow. Worst case scenario for me is a championship club from down south - Norwich, Reading, Bristol, Brentford, Millwall etc

    Did we ever decide in the last thread if we get both? Or do we get £135k instead of £90k?

    You get prize money for each round , so far we have accumulated 90 k , if we win our third round tie we win a further 135 k . If you think about it , premier clubs & championship clubs will receive exactly the same if they win their ties & they have had no previous matches to build up their pot yet they will win £135 k just the same.
