Hmm how to get a home ticket. Think Sutton would have preferred an away tie
I had a hunch we'd get either Sutton or Lincoln away... Good luck in a quest for a ticket

Don't think I have a chance, not a season ticket holder or member, just a near neighbour!I had a hunch we'd get either Sutton or Lincoln away... Good luck in a quest for a ticket

If you don't tries, you don't gets
On the upshot, this one will almost certainly be live on the Beeb

It could be on national tv without being shoehorned on to that weird "culture" show. I've accidentally caught bits of it from time to time, most recently seeing Ice Cube looking thoroughly confused promoting Ride Along 2 (which is just as inexplicable).

I think the FA change that rule a few years ago, if you are drawn at home you have to play at home now.

It's happened before - can't remember which club it was now... I'm not entirely pat on the rules though.
This from the FA Cup rules
VENUE FOR MATCHES (a) Venue (i) The venue of each match (save for the Semi-Finals or Final which will be played at venues selected by the Professional Game Board) will be that of the first named Club. Subject to Competition Rules 9(a)(ii) and 9(a)(iii) such match shall be played on that ground unless the consent of the Professional Game Board has been obtained to any change of venue. In the case of a replay, subject to Competition Rules 9(a)(ii) and 9(a)(iii), the match shall be played on the ground of the second drawn Club, unless the consent of the Professional Game Board has been obtained to any change of venue. (ii) For a tie to be played on the ground of a Club outside The FA Premier League or Football League playing a Club from The FA Premier League or The Football League a meeting must be arranged by the Home Club with the local safety authority and/or Police and representatives of The Association to assess the suitability from a safety or security point of view of staging a tie at the ground. Any such meeting must be held within three days of the date of the Draw (or the date of the drawn tie in the case of a replay). Following such meeting, the Professional Game Board will decide whether to allow and require the match to be played at such ground or not, taking into account the views expressed at such meeting. In the event that following such meeting, the Professional Game Board allow and require the match to be played at that ground, the Away Club may still lodge a protest under the provision of Competition Rule 9(b) if applicable. In the event that following such meeting, the Professional Game Board decide not to allow and require the match to be played at that ground then the first alternative ground shall be the nearest suitable ground subject to the agreement of the Professional Game Board. (iii) In any event, the Professional Game Board shall have the power to order that any match be played on an alternative ground or date, including a Sunday, if it is considered appropriate and necessary. For ties switched from the ground of the Club first drawn, then the Professional Game Board shall determine the financial conditions in which the tie shall be played and this may include, any excess receipts to be paid into the Pool.
Basically, if the game was swapped to a neutral venue, then any excess money made will be paid into the FA Cup pool rather then the teams.

Ah that's a bit of a shamedoes the 5th round have replays or just ET and pens?
Replay's
REPLAYS, POSTPONED AND ABANDONED MATCHES (MATCHES PLAYED PRIOR TO THE SEMI FINALS) (a) Replays (i) When a first match has resulted in a draw, it shall be replayed on the ground of the Club drawn second: in the Qualifying Competition – on or before the following Thursday; in the Competition Proper – on the second Wednesday following the original match, or earlier if mutually agreed by the two Clubs and the consent of the Professional Game Board obtained. (ii) When a replayed match is drawn after 90 minutes, an extra 30 minutes shall be played, and 15 minutes shall be played in each half.
