For a selfish reason i want Bristol Rovers away as it's not far from me and i'll get a lift from my Gas supporting mate,i t is a happy hunting ground for us then i will want a Premier League team away.
the Spurs team that day had a combined 764 international caps across the 18, with only one of their side never being a full international (Josh Onomah). Total transfer fee well into the hundreds of millions. And we were so close...
Really mixed feelings about the draw (although Doncaster away please).
Normally wanting a ‘big’ club is a given but if we were to get one there is the potential for it to become a distraction at a time when for the team a distraction may be unhelpful.
For us as fans however I’m sure we would happily take a trip to Old Trafford (or somewhere equally iconic) and probably more importantly a ‘big’ cup tie could galvanise interest and possibly excitement in the general Wycombe area that could finally bring a few more converts, especially if we continue to play as we have been playing.
So, on balance, Liverpool or Arsenal home or away would do.
I am thinking an ironic draw against a lowly side, so QPR away. After we win that, it will be a dream tie in the 4th round, and a possible upset that has us all fretting about keeping King Kone.

Man Utd, Liverpool or Spurs for me and away please.
It will be Oxford away.

But it'll be really funny when we win

They will at least be able to brag that they have the best ground in the Championship next season!
Some of the footprint may overlap but the old ground has been completely demolished and the new ground is probably one of the best in the world.
Here's some stuff on the old ground: White Hart Lane History and Images
Here's the new: Spurs' Stadium | Tottenham Hotspur
You cannot really compare the two!
Its moved 90* and only about 15% of the pitch is in the same place.
They had to demolish loads of businesses, homes and roads for the new ground, like Bournemouth's ground its in the same area but not the same place.
Not a great cup draw, we only ever beat them in league games.
This gives you an idea of how far its moved.

Spin the picture to see the change or move to dates older than 2013.
Mine too,Ryan. We met once at Lancaster station on the way to Morecambe away.
Oxford away would be a great cup tie.
So original -we've not heard that before!!!!
I disagree in the most vehement terms
That three-sided shambles is as poor an arena to watch football as I have ever experienced
I’ve got a feeling it’ll be Southampton away but I don’t know why!

The experience would be improved watching us swat aside the PNLs in front of 2000 Wycombe fans.

I'm hoping for Everton away just because @ryan_w_kirkby2 deserves it.
Although now I've read @Shev's post above and knocking QPR out would be very funny.
POTD
Whoever it is I'm hoping it does not kick off at 11:30 am
I suggest the team do the Haka at the final whistle...
It'll be Friday night, away somewhere (like Newcastle).
I feel I'm alone in this, but I feel it's usually much more fun to play the big boys at home - and it's a guaranteed TV game.
I prefer home for the big games as well...even the thread about having to move to the FA stand after 100 years in the same seat! 😊
I'm losing track of the years. Hadn't realised we'd played in 2017 and their move was 2019.
My word the years storm by!
Easy to forget we played them at home too in that weird behind closed doors (bar 2 games) year.
Hang on, aren't you one of the resident Forest fans? Surely you'd take a trip to the banks of the Trent.
When we played there they'd started building the new ground - there was a whole corner taken out at the far end
Yep, three times we've appeared in the FA Cup Fourth round, and twice we've played Spurs.
