..... Manchester United (a) in Round 3 please.
Our reasoning:
* This team does not get the credit it deserves
* This club deserves a bumper payday that will be used to secure the future.
* The world deserves to see Conrad Logan vs Ibrahimovic on TV.
Thanks in anticipation.

A lucrative away tie at one of TPL big boys would be ironic for us considering the financial problems down at our near neighbours in bury.

The only thing missing from the last 9 years or so under hilly Is a tie against a top 5 side.
It's such a long time ago that we played Liverpool - we deserve another big tie. |  |

I'd personally like an away tie at a big London club and make a weekend of it....
Any decent prem team you've got to be pleased with though. |  | | |

Well, home draws at least.
Keep expectations low (but, please FGs, not something like Plymouth away). A smaller club in rd 3 might add to the chance of getting into rd 4 - more prize money, and more chance of TV coverage as Dale become seen as potential 'giant killers'. | | | |

Oh but it was such a fun day out............I remember the chant going up at 5-0 "Were doing better than Citeh" who lost 6-0 a few weeks before who ironically had a certain Keith Curle in the back four that day. We haven't had that many BIG teams. Previous was the 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford managed by another KH called Keith if memory serves me right. | | | |

What I remember is the Dale fans applauding Ian Rush when he broke a record, was it the number of goals scored in the FA cup? |  | | |

That's right. Our fans gave him a standing ovation when he broke the record. |  |

In view of Whitey's recent post, a draw against Rotherham (one point from their last twelve league games) might be rather piquant. | | | |

It was a cracking day out that,the score wasn't totally unexpected and after it went to 3.0 it was just a chance to enjoy the occasion.. | | | |

It was rubbish as soon as the teams were announced. Docherty's stint as manager was over from that moment. |  |

We had gone over to Scunny in an old Comma camper van barely able to get above 40mph with us all in Stevie Taylor missed the pen but put the rebound in with I think less than ten mins left to make it 2-2 We all got back in the van pleased with the draw and in those days the next round draw was made on Saturday tea time after the days games. We were all listening to it when the guy said Man Utd will play and I think he managed to get Scun out and the whole van went into histerics ! We won the replay 3 - 1 with a couple I think from Stevie and one from Ronnie Moore in the Pearl Street mud think it had been raining all game probably would have been called off in this day and age. Eventually we all got to go to Old Trafford on a Thursday night after two postponements due to an issue with one side of their undersoil heating system. [Post edited 3 Dec 2016 20:44]

I'm going to buck the trend here.
Cardiff City away.
Reasons?
1. I live in South Wales - not far to travel.
2. Lovely new ground which has a reputaion for the best Saturday afternoon experience for spectators.
3. Dale can beat them easily.
4. Then we take on MUFC first at Spotland's Crown Green Arena for a 1-1 draw then a replay at Old Trafford for what could be our Cup Final.
Howzat? | | | |

Crown Green Arena ? Is it a bowls match ? | |

If they get through Macclesfield away would be a decent one with a chance of being on TV as well as a reasonable chance of progressing.
Or obviously any big prem club. | |

No chance of that.
United will be one of the three matches regardless of who they play or where.
Of the other three, at least one, possibly two, will be some mediocre all Premier League tie, probably shown on the BBC as it's the only chance they get of showing Stoke v Watford live.
The other game will be lower/non league v Premier League.
Mind you, there's always foreign TV as we had when we played Leeds. |  |

It has been mentioned in the thread re the second round draw but does anybody really want us to be one of the Live TV games given our shockingly poor record in games on TV?The 2 last season against Wigan and Bury at home were probably amongst our worst performances of the whole season!! |  |

It's just a way of maximising the financial opportunities available. The TV money would be a very handy bonus. | |
