"I've bought 13 adult tickets and five children's tickets so there will be a pretty big group of us!" said one fan.

"We're all season ticket holders and we haven't missed an away game this season.

"I think it will be a difficult game, and the best we can probably hope for is a draw. But I think it will be a draw.

"They are very strong at home, they've beaten teams like Liverpool there so we'll need to raise our game.

"As long as we turn up, unlike at Bristol, then we should give a good account of ourselves.

"Hopefully we can get them back here for a TV game!"

Another added: "I'm going with my son, two other friends and their sons so hopefully it will make for a nice day out.

"I'm a season ticket holder up at Chelsea but I get to see Swindon whenever Chelsea aren't at home.

"The FA Cup is funny. You don't really know whether Fulham are going to have a full strength team out or not, but whatever team they have I expect Swindon to put up a good fight.

"I think we're going to miss Charlie Austin's goals so I don't know who they're going to play up front with Paynter, but hopefully whoever plays can do a job.

"If we can get them back here for a replay it would be excellent, and it would be nice to see the ground full again.

And one fan had a special reason to pick up a couple of tickets: "I've bought them for my son-in-law and his brother who is coming over from Germany for the game.

"I wanted to go myself but I can't because there are no more wheelchair seats left, but I understand season tickets have got to have first choice which I don't have a problem with.

"If they play like they did against Rovers on Saturday they've got no chance at all! But I think that was just a blip to be honest.

"I think they've got a good chance of getting a draw and bringing them back home. If we can do that I really believe we've got a chance of getting a win.

"I think we've got to watch out for Zamora. He's scoring a lot of goals at the moment so he's going to be one to look out for.

"The biggest problem is that Charlie Austin can't play, and with the run he's on I think we'd have a much better chance if he was playing.

"There is enough experience in that team to deal with the pressure of the game.

"If it was a Man United or a Liverpool then it might be too much but Fulham aren't a really big club, so a Town win is a definite possibility I think."
