traff :roll:
Dull
At least it will be 3pm Saturday


Not necessarily though probably. I'm pretty sure the games are put in to blocks of games at various kick off times as all the games are made available for international broadcast - so whilst it may not be live in the UK - it could still be at any time slot over that weekend.

Reading vs Burnley will go gangbusters in the south pacific market.

Sutekh The club should refuse to rearrange the Wrexham game, that way we can retain our TV early kick off at 12.30 and just make a double header with Burnley at 3pm. Probably get a lot more fans. Tiredness not a problem for the important game either.

:lol: shouldn't be any logistical or practical problems with that.

Bit disappointed with the draw but if it’s 3pm sat then it’s ok. Could have been a lot worse, Burnley should bring plenty and create a bit of an atmosphere. Winnable at a push and Scott Parker is comedy

stealthpapes Tamworth is a surprisingly good away day.

Last time I went, mate and I sat down outside the clubhouse and we got a genuine 'during the war' story from this old fella we were sat near.

Old castle, capital of mercia, several good pubs (paging Green to thread on https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-s ... e-67949548) plus Kings' Ditch micropub.

✅ On my "To do" list

Out of the ~126 possible draws for this, its probably close to top 20 worst.

Club we've played regularly, who will almost certainly beat us, but won't attract much more atrendance than a standard league game, if that.

Although realistically there were only about 20 good draws possible
