The way RFC have been playing Stevenage must be hot favourites for the replay and so I don't think it matters much who we drew in Round 4.

I normally love the cup games but cannot face putting myself through attending another dire fest right now. Suspect the replay crowd will likely be very small.

Would have loved to have drawn Brighton away as they showed last night they really do have passionate supporters worthy of such a BIG CLUB in their BIG "local"derby..

Nah, a ground within 100 miles of my house that I've not been to.

UpNorth A possible trip away to Carlisle. At least the players will not have to bother clapping the fans at the end - there won't be any.

Yes, or in other words, less than half the distance to the Mad Stad.

Not everyone on here lives in or near Reading

I'd love a trip up to Carlisle.

For anyone whose been to a few grounds, it's an almost mythical one to "tick off". Just to have been to an away game there is like saying you've fought dragons, as other supporters swoon in shock...No! surely there's no-one alive who's been to a game that far away!


Were going to lose to Stevenage though, on penalties, after a 0-0 draw.

I went to Blyth Spartans - it's even further than Carlisle.

I'm sure they'll be others on this board that were on that 1972 football special train. Not so much dragons but I remember a small hail of bottles as we went through York.

Well if we and Wednesday get through it will be played on a Friday night because Sheffield united are at home on Saturday.

Went to Workington (Google says 18 miles further) back in the days when I think it was Roy Bentley who was the manager. Did not see the match though, it was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch and could not get the time off for it later in the season. Pre-motorway days and a Friday night game made it a long and tiring journey as I was the only one who could drive.

Were voted out of the league in 1977, replaced by Wimbledon.

I have ultimate respect for you Sir.

Wasn't that the game that Paul Black drove back up to the next day when it was rearranged? I may have that completely wrong but read something about that in that article on the site during Brian pt. I

No, I don,t think so. If the game had been rearranged for the Saturday we would have stayed to watch it, as we stayed overnight in Workington.

No, the four of us were too busy enjoying ourselves after being invited into the Players Lounge by Dennis Allen and talking to all the players (of both teams) until it was time to walk back to the Hotel. Oh, those were the days. What a pity that sort of thing doesn't happen anymore.
