I reckon it will be a record low crowd today. Cold weather, time of year, recent form, stadium being half open etc.
Desperate for something to deliver a feel good around the place. Not got a ticket yet, out of my 'lot' I will be the only one going. So that is at least 11 no shows.
Agreed, on the 2,000 mark. Deep down though I do feel it’s a shame when there is a 3rd round tie at stake but totally understand why the attendance will be so low. Overpriced food etc, poor feel good factor around the place, dull football lately, poor form, least exciting 2nd round opponents ever, half shut stadium, literally freezing weather, cost of living crisis and Christmas around the corner. Families in particular with young children will no doubt be looking for better value for their money the first weekend in December.
I will be there. So will my 2 faithful football buddies. Hopefully those that feel the need or are able to attend will come with positive support, the team needs it right now and Will hopefully respond with a positive performance.
I will be there if any of us are allowed to be there, looking at the weather. I know it's not been the scintillating progressive football we have been used to over the last few years...but I don't have a young family and don't have anything more exciting to do than risk crashing the car and slipping down the AP steps to see a win.
I was relying on you for some sort of satirical post gently tickling the fans using every excuse to avoid watching their own club and seemingly revelling in it.
A long trip for me today. South coast to Wycombe via Swindon to pick up one of my sons, and return. 280 mile round trip. All for the thought of the third round draw - to draw a big Premier league team away in a half empty stadium against players you’ve never heard of. Or at home against a Premier League reserve team. Utter madness. But then there WAS 2001!
Ditto... though it has taken me all week to come to that very hard decision, all the reasons others have given above have been in my head all week. But at least I don't have far to go.

Straight to replay
Is there extra time? I ask because it affects my paid parking with Just Park..?
Not in an original tie, no
Thank you.
Remember though this is Wycombe….
Surprised the bus isn't running for this one.
It only just came back into action!
Sorry. Not going. 30 years a season ticket holder. Not impressed with the footy.

What's our lowest ever crowd for a competitive game in League, Fa Cup or League Cup?
I think we'll get around 2,000 today

You forgot Linda’s is shut today!!!
Not one person from our usual 11 strong group is going. For me, I’ll be in a nice warm Nottingham pub with a glorious pint of Shipstones (perhaps).
The magic of the FA Cup as a concept is as hollow as the claims that boxing is ‘the noble art’.
That said, I’ll be shamelessly grabbing a ticket for any ‘big game’ 3rd round tie.
The Hartlepool FA Cup replay in 21-22 had 1582 attending.
That was with all four sides completely open too.
I won't be going, far better things to do with my Saturday
I will be going. Cheap ticket for the 2nd round guaranteeing a seat at The Emirates for the 3rd round tie in the New Year. Maybe!

You’re a hero @Wendoverman. I’ve always thought so !! But do wrap up.
One to miss for me. A 400 mile round trip. Half the trains replaced by buses. Freezing cold.
But mostly because it’s Morecambe and I hate games against Morecambe.
Hmmm hero is not the word Mr W used. Unless idiot is an olde english version.The layers of clothing will at least mean I bounce.
God bless all of us who give it a go and protect our motor vehicles from satanic slippy roads

Mr W ?!
Nooooooooo
I will be there, blind loyalty the only reason.

You have a lot of critical things to say about a club that is so low in your priorities.
….and that game at White Hart Lane …Miles Weston down the line pin point cross, Thomos magic hat - GOAL!
oh but then they brought Son and Ali on…..
I applaud you for making such a long journey to watch a game that so many people are avoiding.
