Notts County (H) Tuesday 25.8.15 7.45pm KO Pre-Match Thread

[peter w]

Us, Walsall, Baggies, Wolves and The Noses all drawn at home.

How are they going to arrange this ?? I can't see the Police being too happy.

Why? They playing at the NIA that week?

[dave.woodhall]

Us, Walsall and wolves one night, blues and baggies the other is the simple solution and then hope that sky shift us or wolves to the Thursday.

There's no need even for that - we usually play the same day as Wolves.

Oh I know, it just makes it a touch simpler

I don't want to play on a Thursday when we have a game at the weekend.

Anyway. I fail to see how arranging a Villa cup game (25,000 at a push) and a Wolves cup game (10,000?) is any less simple than arranging for Villa to play in front of 35-40K and Wolves to host 25,000+ in league games like they do most Saturdays.

[Percy McCarthy]

What's the date?

[peter w]

Is it the first time all 5 West Midland teams have been drawn at home? Not counting Coventry clearly.

[Percy McCarthy]

Twat doing the draw announced West brom as the 96 winners.

It's a shame, a crying shame
When our past is buried
And our victories go un-named.

[amfy]

To be fair they did refer to us as '5 times winners' twice.

[peter w]

May I be the first to say that I want Arsenal in the final?

[somec]

The last time we played them at home was the first time I had seen a match not standing on the Holte End, I was in the North Stand I'm sure you will be glad to hear

We beat them 1-0 with Dwight Yorke, our top scorer that season, getting the goal.

May I be the first to say that I want Arsenal in the final?

I'd rather play them in the Third Round, as they'd likely play their reserves.

[peter w]

No, the final please. in fact I want them in every round of this Cup after Notts County and every round of the FA Cup.

[olaftab]

To be fair they did refer to us as '5 times winners' twice.

It's always good to report facts!

[cdbearsfan]

Hopefully it'll be an out-of-date fact by March.

[Percy McCarthy]

What's the date?

I tell a joke
I toss a line
To no-one there
Who can see me alive
I'm not one to give up
But I feel I'm at a loss
And I've become invisible.
