That'll be £5 adults and £1 for kids I hope

Cheers Ned, well Warnock will prob field all the rest of the squad for this cup match.

Brilliant draw, couldn’t really have wished for a better one

Won't even be 5000 there, hope he plays our reserves. Bigger fish to fry.

Winnable and onto round 4 we go.

Just looked at their forum and they’re very disappointed to be having us by the looks! Cheeky cvnts!

I feel for Mansfield. Playing away in front of an empty stadium....no glamour tie for them.

I think Cardiff have to share gate receipts 3 ways

Still winnable

Agree with you Annis, and this gives him the opportunity to do that and still have a good chance of progressing.

If we opened the gates for free we’d struggle to get 5/6k for the likes of Mansfield unfortunately.

A crap league two side vs our second string doesn’t wet the whistle for most.

Good news is that wolves will see their draw as piss easy and fancy going on to round4.

Gives our reserves a decent chance of progressing us to the next round. At least the BBC won't move it to a stupid time like 6.00 on a sunday evening as they are bound to want to cover the Newport county v Leeds game.

Should at least be 3pm on the Saturday

Think it was S4C that did that?

BBC moved our tie with Fulham to 11.30am on a Sunday, which was just as ridiculous.

Fair play Newport County v Leeds United, brilliant for the County.

That’ll be our game kept as the 3 o’clock kick off hopefully. I’d say Leeds v Newport would get BBC Wales interested, or even S4C?

i think the revenue is split 40% each club with 20% going into th FA pool...after the cost of putting the game on by the home club is deducted.

Club would need do something special to get a crowd if 5k ? If was in cdf I'd go but already in cdf twice in week can't justify for a reserve game

Really hope Warnock doesn't do a repeat of Fulham last season or Burton this year.

If you fielded a semi strong team at least make it look like we have players who complement each other and are more suited.. not like Halford and O'Keefe v Burton.

This is a must win game

I'm still pissed off with Malky at Macclesfield!

Chance for tomlin, Richards, Harris and zohore to shake off the rust.

Possibly even Young Harris, coxe and Healy in frame too?

A couple of games in the cup can keep the squad strong and winning habit/ feel good factor in place

I disagree Warnock had to try Okeef and other players in those games rather than see them in a championship game he will play players who want to prove they want to play for us and fighting for a place if they are crap then get rid .

The league is vital the FA cup is only important if you get through to the 5th round and further

In BT's rehearsal for the draw we were paired with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

I have nothing against playing players who haven't played as much as say Hoilett but when you play a midfield with O'Keefe and Halford in the middle you think that makes logical sense and they can win you a game against a team in the same division as us? 2 very similar players in the sense of can't really attack.. if you are going to play a second string team at least make it look fluid and actually have someone link to it.

Think I read somewhere that the minimum ticket price must be £10 and that is with both teams agreeing to it. Correct me if I am wrong though! Terry

he won promotion that season .
and had it not been for the distraction of the lge cup might have a year earlier in BLUE..
would Tan have got away with the rebrand had we already been promoted...i doubt it.

Like Burton Albion game....that was winnable also

The Stags are in a good run of form so it won't be an easy game but they have been a bit disjointed. Pre-season they were touted as heavy favourites and in Danny Rose they have a more than useful striker.

Love the FA Cup so really looking forward to it, as long as we win

FA CUP 3RD ROUND DRAW

There were cracking draws that happened, the obvious one is indeed the derby between Liverpool v Everton match, but others see leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers take on the struggling Swansea City and another one is nothing new because these 2 teams played each other in the carabao cup Newport County v Leeds United, last time they met they had to reverse this fixture due to construction at the Stadium at Newport, BUT this will be a huge match for Newport, if they could win alongside Swansea and Cardiff the 3 Welsh sides would be growing momentum in the Cup Run and could possibly come face to face with each other eventually, I think as a Welshman myself this is big but it is not just the Welsh sides that could draw attention there are other big matches that had drawn, Norwich v Chelsea is a match that could have an upset in the cards, along with others like Tottenham v Wimbledon, QPR v MK Dons, Bolton v Huddersfield, Coventry v Stoke, Nottingham Forest v Arsenal, Watford v Bristol City, and a few others too.

The Bluebirds take on Mansfield at Home at the Cardiff City Stadium
