Hi Southport fan here. Obviously it’s a massive draw for us but there’s a big game to get through next week.
We drew at Tranmere yesterday and should have won. Don’t worry about the league positions this is what the cup is all about.
If you’ve never been to Southport it’s on the coast just down from Blackpool. Plenty of hotels and B&Bs and a great night out. It’s also cheap!! £3 a pint. The ground holds 6000 so you’d be more likely to get 1500. Mainly standing behind goal with about 300 seats. It’s would be one of the biggest matches of our history. Any questions feel free to ask and I’ll check the forum.
All the best in your games beforehand.

Are we allowed to bring bananas into the ground?
 
Jürgen Klopp has confirmed his intention to rotate for Monday’s FA Cup third-round tie at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Klopp explained during his pre-match press conference that such a hectic schedule necessitates changes, with Simon Mignolet and Alberto Moreno definite starters.

Wolves will have a decent chance tomorrow at Molineux if they play a strong team (and why wouldn't they do that?)

Some proper wank games in there.

But nice that at least 4 Premier League clubs will be out of the next round and some potential shocks with the football league clubs
 
Good draw!

Big enough to get up for, Palace struggling in the prem as well so will probably rotate.

Great to see Liverpool and united/Woolwich out.

From our point of view as fans yes. Sadly the club doesn't think the same way. It's all about the money, and there's no money for us in the cup - only a slight commerical boost maybe, but a single league victory and the increase in the chance of Top 4 that brings is significantly more valuable than winning the FA Cup. Whichever of you go through will face a heavily weakened team, likely ten or eleven changes from the side the plays the league game beforehand. Expect out-of-favour or unfit first teamers, the likes of Gazzaniga, Llorente, Lamela or Sissoko rather than the youth team though.

Not sure why you are including Sissoko and Lamela in that category. Neither is unfit or out of favour.

Do you even watch spurs?

We were taken over in the summer and have a budget now of £5k a week which is big in terms of the national league north. We average around 1000 at home but have a huge catchment area. Unfortunately with Everton and Liverpool on doorstep we can’t compete. We took 800 yesterday and a few years back sold 3000 for a fa cup trip to derby. The game would be a sell out.
Obviously we’d lose but I’d expect it would be a new ground for many of you guys

Famous people from Southport. John bishop and unfortunately mark lawrenson but the towns new star is tommy fleetwood

If I'm driving up is it best to take my hubcaps off the car just to be on the safe side?
 
I know these are the games we all prefer - either home or away at a shit team but I dread these fixtures. Awful pitches, players who aren't really technically good just wanting to go out there and bash our players up. I absolutely hated those games last season with Rochdale and Newport (Rochdale replay at Wembley wasn't too bad).

Especially when we tend to rotate heavily and it looks like we have 11 strangers on the pitch. Just hope we can get in there, get it over and done with and nobody gets injured. Hopefully get in the hat for the fourth round and move on.
