I hope it's Brentford too, I've been dragged there since the late 70's and it's very rare I've been interested in the football :p
Chelsea will only get about 1600 tickets at a guess so it won't be easy to get one, this is when nepotism can be a good thing :cool:

Haha - been playing better football in recent years. Up until a couple of weeks ago we had the best form in the country and have only lost at home once this season, although I'm sure we'll mess up the reply against Southend!

About 15 years ago we had Oldham Athletic in a reply with the winner getting Chelsea at home in the next round. The initiative was that the club would put vouchers for tickets for the potential Chelsea game in the matchday programme and therefore increase the attendance. Loads of Chelsea fans turned up, bought programmes and went home... there were only 4,200 at the game! Which we lost...

Very excited if we beat Southend! Holding a season ticket certainly has its privileges :)

I was at that game, Brentford lost on pens iirc and I was sitting up by the Big Bee radio which my uncle used to do, you probably know him, bearded weirdo who does the announcing on the pitch ;)
Anyway, Stan Bowles ex wife was sitting with us (you might know what sort of films she's famous for) and she got a bit emotional during pens and starting hugging everyone, it frightened the life out of me :o:p

Haha - related to PG then? I always seem to have a habit of sitting near him at away games.

Yep lost it on penalties. "It's Brentford, innit" is the saying although we seem to be dispelling that mentality at the moment. I think I'll cry if we don't win the reply :o
