Personally want Wealdstone at home or Slough Town away.
Both possible banana skins - but lets face it we could get drawn against my old schools girls under 11s side and be on the end of an unfirtunate reverse.
Am expecting all those who dont make selection even for the Development Side to be selected and that would be the case, even if we are drawn away to one of the mighty from the premier league.
For me, if you are reading Christian, Julien or even you Ben Williams, we really actually do want to see our favourite players selected for this one.
Just once lets take it seriously.
It would do wonders for fan engagement and brownie points all round for those in charge.

Nice new team to get eased out of the cup to. Always good to watch a mid ranking premier League defender absolutely dominate our hapless strikers. Or have a top level one come on to really show how big a gap there is ( Vidic ages back coming on vs Dexter Black stock, was like dads Vs kids match, Guehi a year or two ago similar vibes) but this year I'm interested to see Burrell and Kone ruffle a few feathers.
My boss supports Wham and has already been messaging me about it.
Think I'll try and go to this, but not holding out hopes I'll have enough loyalty points.
Kone would still be at AFCON I would have thought

Well, it's all relative mate, if it had been Blackburn A I'd have been heading for the river. Per our previous draws this is great. And eminently winnable if we're not too pre-occupied with how important our 57th consecutive visit to Stoke is the week after, or performatively selecting 15 year olds so they can have a nice puff piece in the Hounslow Herald.
I do share your concerns about the hanger on element though. Phone's already been lively with some "hi mate, been a while..." whatsapp messages.
It started on Facebook the mins after the draw was made. Already it’s coming over like little QPR looking for a big day out for some .
If we are getting 9k allocation I can see the club going right 4 per person from the off to make sure we well put , hopefully they do a cheaper ticket deal as well as can’t see may west hame fans thinking they want to go so be supprised ifs a sell out .
Can't wait for this. One of my earliest memories of watching QPR was beating West Ham in the cup 1-0. Went on a bit of a cup run that season. I remember beating Millwall in the last minute too.
We absolutely HAVE to put a full strength squad out for this. No excuses.

If it is right we get 9000 tickets it will go to general sale and although we will take lots would be quite amazing if we took all 9000 especially with danger that we play kids.

Like many have said we’ve had some good games with them over the years. Pizanti’s rocket when they all turned with forged tickets, Clive Allen’s goal at Upton Park, McAvennie scoring at ours after getting off a plane from Australia! Have a lot of mates who are West Ham and they all have a soft spot for us. All have a mutual hatred of Chelsea. Their fans are very much like us. Support their local team. Had lots of downs, but very loyal. Mate was telling me tonight they have Spurs away the Saturday after us so they’ll have a big eye on that game.

On the plus side: massive allocation (Bristol City got just shy of 9,000) and I think tickets were £20 or something. Winnable tie too.
On the negative side: shocking place to watch football and took us an hour to get inside Stratford station afterwards, even though we left on the final whistle. Would suggest drinking round Hackney Wick rather than anywhere round Westfield/Stratford.
Think this is at least an interesting tie. Think wet spam have to much for us especially if we play a weak side. It doesn't matter if we loose as we must be used to it over the years but please rangers give it a proper proper try like have a go so on the journey back we have some cheer. Shame we didn't get them at home as been told its a terrible view. Might be handy like the fog at Leicester if we play shite again. Ah well at of today we are still.in the cup and in with a chance

Gonna be a sod to get to, got to get a train from bloody Didcot, anyway whatever, when will they announce the fixture date change If there Is to be one?
The last time I went to see us play them away It was at Upton Park, a proper football ground IMO, parked at LR and jumped on the tube at White City, great café's around Upton Park.

'Kens Cafe' was the borstal daddy of all Upton Park cafe's Ted. Situated along Green street just before the ground. went in there every lunchtime from school as a kid, Ken was still frying until 2020 at the age of 89 when he finally hung up his spatula.
He had 1ooo's of different dishes plastered all over walls but they all tasted like Grandads cooking from 'only fools'. Terrible.
When the old man East ham Dave passed away xmas 2019 , i was arranging his funeral across the road from cafe and popped in, Ken sorted me out with a full English, passed on his condolences via an extra portion of bubble and squeak , he was a man of few words.
Problem was, it was bloody lovely and i got choked up a bit thinking of Rodney saying he couldn't eat his dinner that Del cooked him at Grandads wake because' it tastes nice' and Del telling him he 'tried to bugger it up like grandad'.
anyway West ham away.. Magic. Man alive i wish this game was at the old Boylen and not at this new mothercare shiny plastic shitpot.

Already had the 'it's your big day out' from my West Ham supporting coworker. Yeah, yeah.
In fairness he did say that we'll hate the ground as Loftus Road is a proper football stadium. Says theirs is a soulless place now.
think this is my main dissapointment in the game , the stadium . Not been to a game there couple of gigs and its bloody awful for them , if it had been at upton park happy days , proper stadium proper fans .this will be like mnost england games at wembley a tourist / once a season day out for many . oh look we are playing west ham grab the camera . give me weston super mare away anyday in the cup.

I was there too…..with my WHUFC brother…..a wet and muddy night as I recall….Hollins got a goal and did a flip….1978?? A wonderful night….for me….just checked the scorers…Givens Hollins, Busby (2), Bowles, James……different times! Bring it on! My brother cannot wait…..we’re still going….old bustards!! U R’sssss
I think they may have scored first. Pop Robson? Then came the onslaught. Lovely. Mrs Kernowhoop (not a football fan) came to 'keep me company'. Think she must have concluded that winning usually came easily for QPR after that.

Pros: Local New stadium (albeit a shit one) Potentially winnable
Cons: We'll probably put out a second string again, and lose Our yoof/herberts will be out in force on the Colombian marching powder (like at Peterborough) Tickets won't be cheap

You're disappointed about drawing a London Premier League team in terrible form at a ground we've never played at? Old London rivals, East v West, new stadium to play at, 9k away fans, loads of kids going to their first away day, on telly, Kone v Killman, Burrell running into the huge expanses of the London Stadium...
I doubt anyone under 55 is going to be feeling disappointed today, maybe anyone under 60.
(And yeah, getting out of London Stadium is terrible but getting into Upton Park Station after matches after walking round the back of the Boleyn was also terrible. And the drinking in Leyton, Leytonstone, Wanstead and Hackney Wick is miles better for away fans than anything near Boleyn.).
(And the capacity at Weston Super Mare is 3k, so not sure how many of the 9k in the away end at West Ham would get in there)

YEP , kone isnt likely to play he will be on afcon duty . give me a vist to upton park anyday compared to the souless bowl , you literally compared the fans wanting tickets to the games watching england these days .
somebody else said earlier about the potential make up for the 9k going , the peterbrough massive who think a long distance away game is within the m25 . many on the marching powder and have had 3 shandys to many before the game .
the capacity for weston sounds perfect to me , proper Fa cup stadium crap pitch crap facilitys , chance of an upset (yes us winning) thats the Fa cup for me
