1975 we played Crewe in the league cup semi final. It finished 2-2. We won the 2nd leg and of course won the final. I still owe my form teacher a note from my parents for my school absence for the one and only time I’ve been to Crewe to see Us.
Forest v DerbyLeeds v StokeNewcastle v Leicester Those are juicy ties

I still owe my form teacher a note from my parents for my school absence for the one and only time I’ve been to Crewe to see Us.Crewe was in an early round and then a replay. I remember it was Chester in the semi and going to Sealand Road as a yoingster and only seeing half of the pitch with the large crowd and then scraping through in the second leg.

East Midlands and Leeds Stoke are just run of the mill Championship fixtures....

Will probably have 2 stands this time round

Would imagine a few Villa will be in the gigantic main stand they have, think it's 6k capacity for a ground that just about holds 10k.
