Kaizero Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Ever since 300 I've been wondering if they'd shout "Spartans! Are you ready?!" in the locker room before big matches like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Apparantly the police have okayed the game to go ahead at Croft park. 52,000 would set them up for years to come, 4000 plus potential TV money wouldn't go as far. It would be a disgrace if Blyth drew 52,000 for a 3rd round game against Blackburn, cause Newcastle certainly wouldnt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 They've got a much bigger chance of beating Blackburn at Croft Park. They'd get picked off at SJP. Good luck to them, they played well tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 It would be a disgrace if Blyth drew 52,000 for a 3rd round game against Blackburn, cause Newcastle certainly wouldnt.

Mick Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 As sad as it is, they'd be better off taking the money tbh. Agreed, it would set them up for years. I think they would play above themselves anyway but playing at St James' would give them a massive lift as anybody who watched them against Wrexham will know.

Mick Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 just checked, it was , 42000 vs wrexham, The gates were locked early if I remember right, I was in the Leazes and seem to remember the tannoy saying certain areas were full. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 No way the Blackburn game should be played at SJP. Any chance Blyth would have would be lost in playing infront of 20k if they were lucky - no way there'd be a full house. Best chance Blyth have got of turning Blackburn over (and it's a small chance) is to play them at Croft Park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides - it's what the FA Cup is all about. Playing a Premiership side on your home turf. Why change it just to try and make a few extra quid?

This is a game that will capture the imagination of the public ,play at st james or at Croft park .Imho they have more chance at Croft as this will be a massive culture shock to Blackburn and Blyth will have a much better chance on home soil,and i will give you a bit of information about a game many years ago and i quote " The replay at St James' Park drew an astonishing crowd of 42,000 with an estimated 10,000 more locked out. Blyth lost 2-1 but their players had assured themselves of a place in history and journeys of horror for those who follow in their steps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the FA Cup is one competition that Blyth will not win, massive gate receipts will be the only way they can come out as winners in any way.

I think they were very unlucky that night and they were given a massive lift by the crowd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Not sure, but I think they built the small stand with seats in, from the proceeds of the '78 run. Blyth should be allowed to enjoy their day in the sun and play at home. They've probably already made over £100-£150k from the cup run, with more to come. No sense in being greedy and losing any chance you have of beating Blackburn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
