There are mixed comments coming up regarding the venue for City's FA Cup clash with Tiverton.

The draw produced a home tie for the Devon side but there are fears the 3,500 capacity Ladysmead ground will not be upto the job of accomodating the number of fans thats Cardiff City would want to bring.

The Tiverton manager would love to have the tie at his home ground while the chairman is concerned if they will be able to manage it.

Martyn Rogers the Tivvy manager said

"This is a prestigious competition and personally I think we should be capable of staging it."

The options are

Play it at Ladysmead.

Move it to another Devon ground, maybe Exeter or Plymouth

Move it to Ninian Park.

No decision has yet been made but with the game dure to be played in 19 days time there should be some nes over the next few days.

The game will not be covered live on TV. The games chosen are

Hayes v Wycombe
Hereford v Wrexham
Swansea v QPR
