Waterlooville or Millwall -- a lot of LLs whoever we play
What do you all think -- 1s a bannana skin and the other lot is from the lions den -- at least its at home, so a bit more money in the pot
I would prefer the boys from the south coast ( havant ) to come to valley parade in the fa cup tie.
The glamour of the cup would be to draw the minnows, other than that you would have maybe 300-400 millwall fans coming compared to maybe a few more coming from havant in a potential david v goliath tie.
Then again this is bradford we are talking about so the chance of defeat is fairly high no matter who we play!!!lol

A good draw really as we should be ableto beat either at home and them get in the hat for a potentially lucrative third round tie. Millwall are rubbish at the moment.
If we get H&W then there'll be about a thousand City fans there, which wouldn't be good even if they brought up a few (say a thousand, which I don't think they'd manage anyway).
There's not much chance of it being on the box either because Salisbury/Forest and Kings Lynn/Oldham have come out.
Also, the main point of winning in the first round is to get into the third. I reckon if they did win tomorrow, facing a non-league side who have already beaten Millwall bouyed on by the fact that they could be playing Man Yoo in the next round when we play them could be dangerous, especially with this tendency we have to lose against 'inferior' sides.
Millwall all the way for me, please. At least then we might get a bit more money and a less nervy game, even if it would cost a bit extra for the police.
I would be more likely to attend the next round of the cup if it's Havant & Waterlooville that we are playing.
There will be more of a party atmosphere from the away fans, plus there would be no other choice but to sack Todd is we lost to a conference south side.
No doubt Toddy is getting a seven at the back system practiced in training just incase we do play them ;)
'Party atmosphere'?
We're Bradford City not Man Yoo.

Talking of the away fans.
If a Conference South side come up to ours they will be decked out with balloons and will be very vocal because they will see us as a big side, I doubt you could say the same about Millwall's support.
I meant the away support as well.
They're only in the Conference South, they're hardly pub team level. I'm no expert obviously but I think they'd struggle to bring many more than a few hundred and I doubt they'd view an away game at a mediocre league one side as something to go hysterical about.
Granted Millwall might not be as excitable but they'll bring about the same amount and I think there'll be a few more City fans attracted by that fixture.

I'd prefer Havant and Waterlooville to be honest - they would bring a lot of fans, simply because we are an ex-Premiership team, and there is a definite possibility of it being televised - to get to play us Havant will have to knock out a league one side, and "cup giant killers vs ex-Premiership side" is probably a game that would get on TV.

I would also prefer Havant and Waterlooville and I could see a possibility that the game could be on TV, because as of yet they still have not announced the tv games.
If Havant and Waterlooville do win, it would be like their cup final

Having no idea which fixture would command the highest crowd,
I'd prefer to play H&W, it's brings the magic of the Cup home to me.

If I was not a city fan, I would like to see City playing the non leaguers -- should be some of that cup magic -- I would like (as a non city fan) to see a good end to end game
But as a City fan -- I would like an easy win for City tup:

I've never called you dumb.
