  1. Yes they are my club and it is a Final

  2. No its a Mickey Mouse Competition

  3. To be fair not sure at the moment

    It would be incredibly harsh to throw out Wrexham and it's not really their fault. The original tie was postponed because of safety concerns over the surrounding areas then the next 2 midweeks for Wrexham were taking up by Thursday night league games due to Sky selecting them for coverage then last week was a league match.
    It looks like their tie against Bolton has been scheduled for next Tuesday on the EFL website so everything should be back on track after that.

    Bradford, Birmingham, Bolton and Wrexham. Any two of those and you will be guaranteed a big Wembley gate. Infact only Peterborough are likely not have to a big following as they went last year, Cheltenham will probably be up for a day out.

    I think at this stage seeing Birmingham in the final will see 40k+ of their fans there.

    Lets just hope we get a home semi final and look beyond that after.

    We will be outnumbered against Brum and Bolton.
    Think Wrexham for all their popularity, would probably take the same as us.

    Nah, Wrexham would be a complete circus if they got to Wembley. Sky are probably hoping it's Wrexham v Birmingham for the final already.

    Here you go, current average attendance at City 16,742 (okay tickets sold)

    Potential opposition should we make it.

    I had a nosey through all the remaining teams upcoming fixtures - most play the first 2 midweeks in March so the semi-finals really have to be on the scheduled dates; now Wrexham v Bolton is next week, barring any ‘unforeseen’ postponements of that or Peterborough tonight, things should remain on the original schedule - no idea when the draw is though?!

    So far for the knockouts, the draws have been during the Saturday midday broadcast of whichever EFL game is on Sky Football.

    Hopefully Cheltenham at home, providing they can get a shock result tonight.

    We'll get either Birmingham or Wrexham in the Semis. This will be as rigged as possible for a money-spinning "Hollywood Final".

    So far Agent Stubbs is doing well.

    Peterborough, Wrexham or Bolton, Birmingham City.
    Take your pick.
    Wrexham at home if possible.
    Think GA would have us up for that.

    No. I think we should avoid them, with a bit of luck they may be out. Would like Peterborough.

    Potentially a crowd well over 10k if we get Brum at VP. Think they’d fill Midland Rd and we’d fill lower tiers of main stand / Kop
