I hope not but I bet you are right.
I now live about 2 and a half miles from Hillsborough but I am travelling to Oban early that Thursday morning.

Not been to Oban for years, but great memories of it as a kid. Hope you get to see the match anyway! With only 4 possible nights to show matches there are gonna have to be two TV games on the rival channels on at least 1 evening, so no reason why us and them couldn’t be on same night...

Unfortunately at Hillsborough we pay over £35-£40 quite often for the joy of watching average Championship football.

We’re also having issues with the council and SYP and aren’t able to sell 39,000 seats... probably looking at low to mid 30k.

It is a pity this match will not be on the traditional Saturday, yet again the powers that be are trying to ruin football. Looking forward to it.

Then the united match? What are the odds they get Wed and we get Thursday?

Can't happen... The Rags got the "Granny shaggers" team away ;)

I'm taking you down with me if you do :)
You take it as a given it's all weekend ties in the fa cup, was planning a little rendezvous into Yorkshire, fuckin fa.

It’s a fucking disaster absolutely destroying the tradition of the fa cup ( yes play replays midweek) but an actual round,to be honest they started devaluing the cup for me when the semi finals started to be played at Wembley as well,has took a bit of gloss off it ..

We’ve got Wed. They’ve got Northampton or Derby.

It's a good job this is away. We'd definitely struggle to sell out a mid-week tie whilst the Owls would definitely fill SS3. Their away support is second to none.
