Draw is at 2:15. Seems a strange time to have it, a few other sides will still be playing when the draw is made! If you want to know our ball number details on the official site.

Yeah just one of 'em off Arsenal

home and winnable

Yes get in there the mighty Doncaster!!!!!!
Ah well maybe a chance of getting to the 4th round?

All respect to Donny given their current status, but a team we've played against a lot in recent years doesn't really capture the imagination. A plum draw might have given me some enthusiasm for Tuesday, but this one doesn't. Shout the lads on for me, I'll save the pennies I shouldn't have spent yesterday, and will listen in on World.

very happy with the draw today if we can beat cheltenham on tuesday...yes its not man united or arsenal but they will bring a good following and it is the 3rd round of the fa cup (And i think its possibly a game we can win) really hope we get a good turn out on tuesday the players and management really deserve our support..COME ON YOU SHRIMPS

A sell out and a potential banana skin for them as they are on a really poor run of form. The last time we had such a good chance to get to the fourth round was 1962!

Sell out? No chance. Not just after Christmas and New Year.

Hardly. We would do well to get 3000.

Well Donnie will sell their end out. If we can't get a decent turn out from the town for the third round of the FA Cup, for only the fourth time in our history, then we've no hope in the future.

We do need to win another game before then though...

If we do get through on Tuesday..........

It needs a real campaign to capture the Town's imagination.

As Keith has said, a real chance to get through to round 4 for the first time in our history.

Morecambe v Doncaster War of the Roses! Be a part of history!

If it was against a Premier League or major Championship club then a sell out would be more likely. As it is, Donny will hardly be a major draw for neutrals.

i am sorry lads and lasses but are we this fickle now ??

its ONLY Doncaster Rovers


They are a Championship side We are at home, we can now win this ( if we beat the Robins).

lets remember where we come from and who we are


THIS IS STILL A BIG GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly! This is a HUGE game. Granted it might not grab the imagination quite as much as Burnley, Preston, Wolves, Sheffield Wednesday may but Donnie Rovers are in the same league as those clubs and in many respects, are as big, even if they aren't a 'fancied' club. Just because we played them in the Conference after they'd nearly been destroyed during their darkest days, this would be the third round of the FA Cup for only the fourth time in our history! We went to Ipswich in our thousands to watch a Championship side, we should be able to fill our ground! Are we already so big that playing Championship sides in the third round isn't interesting enough!!!???

You are thinking about it as a fan of the club. Neutrals WILL NOT be excited about the prospect of their local side playing Donny.

I say we do a swap with Barrow

Exactly.

It's about the worst possible draw we could have got.

I agree, a championship side was the one thing we did'nt want really.

We're at home though, which is some consolation

I think that's a consolation for both clubs.

Pity it wasn't Arsenal though....
