£10 on the terrace.
It will be full anyway. I don’t think ticket pricing will influence demand much.

The 5th Round Draw is to be held at 7:00 pm that night! So before we kick off we will know who we might get in the next Round!

The draw for round 5 takes place on the One Show at 7pm, so we will know our potential opponents before we kick off.
First time we've ever been in the hat for round 5.

Working round bloody TV schedules - I can't make this game now... Been waiting for years for this. Typical.

Is this the first time we've ever been in the draw for the 5th round?

I wonder if it's wise for the players to be aware of potential 5th round opponents.
If it's arsenal away, or even a big game, it might affect their legs !
They might feel far more pressure than they might already be feeling.
On the flip side, if it's Accy away, they might relax fully.
On balance it just seems a little unfair on us.

I agree. In the interest of the competition's integrity, they should always make the draw after all the original ties have been played (except for weather postponements of course).
You can imagine what it will be like. Our lads will be on the pitch warming up at 7:15pm, whilst our fans are in the bar watching the draw. DC will not want them knowing the outcome prior to the game, but it's bound to be overheard as they go back in for their team talk.

Well the hell was it on at 10pm for the previous round and 7pm this time around?

Ridiculous.

This will affect the players mind set knowing who they will play, more so the Barnet players and even the fans, in all fairness the next round draw should be made after all the ties have all been played, even the Wolves v Liverpool the 4th round draw was made after the game, why not after the Barnet game?

Live game on Monday was on BBC , we are on BT - It's BBC's year to have the draw live hence before our game!

Now we're going to get Gooners and Spuds everywhere.

Will it be done live at the Hive as we are the game that night?

I think I would rather not know who we could maybe face in next round.

Doubt it - BBC doing draw so it will be elsewhere!

I am just happy that we won’t go through the agony of not knowing if we were destined to get a big side in the 5th round.

A big draw may well be the difference in terms of our effort.

A potentially ‘easier’ draw could well have the same effect.
