desperado 51 Posted November 12, 2019 I’d probably do Leigh, Southport and Salford. This together with some fond memories of our 89 win has got me fairly interested... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biggish Dave 347 Posted November 13, 2019 Depending on kickoff time, only Accy and Salford would give me any interest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Faustus 237 Posted November 13, 2019 I thought the u21s had to play at the first team stadium for this Cup? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger_Dubuis 43 Posted November 13, 2019 That's my understanding Dr Faustus. Newcastle have played in front of 1,000 at St James, Middlesbrough in front of under 500 at Riverside, Chelsea have played at Stamford Bridge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Traf 2,121 Posted November 13, 2019 So did I. But I also read/heard that those U-21's couldn't be at home v an EFL team in the knockout phase. I don't understand the point/concept of this thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Escobarp 575 Posted November 13, 2019 Efl will allow then to do as they please. Despite being kids teams they will still carry the big club mentality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a chance I'd be going to any game against an U23 side but to be honest I'd probably end up at one of the others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me too. The annoying thing would be if (big if) we got to Wembley and played an academy side. A huge part of any cup final is the camaraderie or even animosity if its against a 'rival'. You win, you rub it in with the usual songs and have a bit of banter even if its on line. You lose and take the stick that goes with it. That cant happen against a team that literally has no fans. Its piss poor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
