Yep and I think all on BBC/ITV. One of them might be brave enough to show Borehamwood v Accrington but I doubt it

They'll put Dippers v Wolves on before that mate,unfortunately

Shocking Draw for us

I’m not sure they’ll be too chuffed either though. We are the home team.

All depends whether we really want the extra fixtures when there are two much bigger prizes up for grabs.

Apart from not wanting to play them yet again it's not the worst draw to be honest, both teams can play a largely second string side knowing they'll both be competitive and no disgrace to lose, if we win, one less strong team in it, if we lose, we don't waste energy getting to a semi final to play a second strigng side against a first team and lose.

I seem to remember we once beat Birmingham City in both league games and both cups in the same season, was it around the Sven/Hughes era? Or maybe Mancini?

Keegan wasn’t it?

Given we usually throw the semi final anyway it doesn’t make much difference

Be nice if pep takes it seriously for once

League 2 play off winners, you'll never sing that

As we've got no history, we'd best not mention we first won the FA cup before they existed.

Will depend how things fall, it will always take 3 rd place to the league and c/l as it should. If games fall kindly then he’ll take it seriously.
