Churchman69 added 13:39 - Sep 25 Can't believe the negativity surrounding this draw. This is an excellent chance to advance to the quarter finals of a major (sort of) competition. Get behind the boys and there's plenty of time for premiership teams in the quarters and, dare i say, beyond? COYB

BrightBlue added 13:42 - Sep 25 Karlosfandangle - Purchasing a season ticket year after year costs a great deal of money............ which I am very happy to do as I love ITFC .................. my point was that being able to purchase 4 tickets at £10 is not really rewarding me as a season ticket holder! Giving season ticket holders the opportunity to buy a £10 ticket for the CC would in my opinion be a nice little thank you from the club.

robdaful added 13:45 - Sep 25 Good draw. At home, and lots of the 'hard' teams have drawn each other. We should win this and get to the next round. And then almost guarnteed a premier league team. - hopefully at home. But we shouldn't underestimate Northampton as they can't be a bad side.

Martus added 13:49 - Sep 25 Poor draw tbh but glad it's at home at last. You guys make it sound like a certainty that well go thru but this is the side that beat Liverpool so they'll be on a high.

BlueBoots added 13:53 - Sep 25 Time to trot out the old cliche - "potential banana skin" - as Liverpool found to their cost. Great to finally have a home tie, whatever the opposition - the cup run has been a great opportunity for the younger players to strut their stuff (and no doubt has done no harm to the morale of the whole squad), so here's hoping it continues!

Tractorboy24 added 17:32 - Sep 25 Hey Big Gaz67, why don't you get off your pedastal? I live in North Yorkshire and can't afford to pay for tickets and petrol, now why does that make me less of a fan? Some people can't afford to pay minimum 360 pounds so have to make do with going to the odd game they can! It makes me sick when people like you label themselves more holier than thou just because you can afford a season ticket!!!

Tractorboy24 added 17:37 - Sep 25 Maybe sick was a bit over the top, but it does make me angry! Anyway, back to the story, good draw, hopefully will be a win for Town and maybe Newcastle away in the quarters so I might be able to get to the game!

ozzy_itfc added 18:07 - Sep 25 The people who think we'll get a big crowd make me laugh. The tickets could be £5 and we'll only get about 12 000. Good draw but they haven't beaten Reading and Liverpool. I'm sure Liverpool though what everyone on here is saying and more when they there draw.

peterleeblue added 19:17 - Sep 25 I am not bothered what it costs. I am down in East Anglia at Half term so will go to the game regardless.

Umros added 20:00 - Sep 25 keep on ya pedastal Big Gaz, totally agree, reward the regulars, another 2,000 dropped out last year from season ticket renewal so why should they come back for a tenner, S ticket holders for £10, others normal prices. OK, i'm off to catch some fish,

north_stand77 added 20:56 - Sep 25 Big gav. I agree with you. It would be good of the club to reward season ticket holders as we have stuck by the club for a long while with little reward really. Its not just the cost, but for sitting amongst a sparse crowd in the middle of winter freezing our wotsits off! Would be a nice gesture.
