This link seems to be working elsewhere so hopefully it will here as it belongs here.
Back in 2015 I was one of those asked to take part in a little fan feature before the Cup Final & this was the trailer.
I took the PNE supporting OH with me as he'd been to every game in the FA Cup trail. He insisted on wearing his PNE shirt. Here we are playing - staring role in that trailer!

Wasn't Leeg on that as well, unless I'm thinking of a different one?

Legion featured heavily in the full feature. This was just the trailer.

We've lost against too many teams we "should" beat, in the latter stage of cups, to be even talking about Wembley.

These four spring to mind...
Bolton (twice)
Bradford
Oldham
Small Heath

Then again, we beat Liverpool in our last FAC semi final. Under the big brains guidance of Tim Sherwood.

That really was a fucking brilliant comeback win though on the back of beating the tramps the last round. Just a shame we shit the bed as badly as we did in the final.

Brilliant Amfy, made my day.

They always show the best bits in the trailer.

Will be going to Wembley with La Bluenose, assuming that by the time the tickets come round to general sale they haven't already sold their 50,000 allocation...

Not having a go or owt but I could never, ever do that under any circumstances.

And my Dad is one, as is one of my nephews, so it’s not a case of it being so unlikely a consideration it’s not worth thinking about, I just could never, ever even consider it.

Genuinely, there is no set of circumstances that would lead to me doing it. I feel a bit sick even writing about it.

Fucking hell. Imagine being around thousands of them all day. I’d rather be around MAGA mentalists or Russians. Or lepers.

It makes the person in the world I love most happy. That trumps everything

This discussion is going in a very dangerous direction.

We have to play Preston and they will be massively up for it.
I suspect they may think WE are the most beatable team left in the competition, at home.

We need to be respectful and not count any chickens.

What brings you to them suspecting that?  The form of Rashford or Asensio? Our injury record? Something else?

Hmmmmm, just off the top of my head….injuries, atrocious away form.

No one would fancy playing Bournemouth, Palace, Forest or Man City, so IN THEIR EYES, Preston might think we are their best chance of causing an upset.

Anyway proper old school cup tie!

Talk of the game being on the Sunday, Blackpool host Bolton on the Sat at 3pm so that may influence any Police guidance.

Friday, saturday Sunday  dont matter  as we would have have had a nice break

[Somniloquism]

Everyone but called up players would have had a break. However Sunday matters if we have to play Brighton on Tuesday. And Friday matters if some of our players are playing Tuesday/Wednesday with their country mates.

[cdbearsfan]

If we are playing on Sunday we won't be playing Brighton until the following Wednesday. Would rather we played Saturday and they played on Sunday, mind. Especially as we have back to back away games whereas they're at home twice.

As I mentioned, the Forest match is one that can't really be moved to Wednesday and they are playing Brighton in the cup (if Forest win tonight). So that is Saturday anyway I would have thought. So one less match to move if we also played Saturday. If Ipswich win tonight it is all up in the air, so I suspect we won't know until tomorrow or Wednesday the finalised dates for the round and the League the following week.

"Might think" is doing all the lifting here.  We don't know for sure either way but looking at a club in the last 16 of the CL and comparing it with those you mention I think they might think much differently.

Is there a possibility of one game each day / night across Friday to Monday ?

BBC and ITV are in control remember.

[London Villan]

It's likely to be one on Friday night, one Saturday evening and two on Sunday?
