Well and truly cursed. I went to both Preston & Middlesborough games, your more cursed than me!. Suppose though they was in Cardiff, can we not move the final to Cardiff 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose though they was in Cardiff, can we not move the final to Cardiff 😁 I find that most fans preferred it when Cardiff was used for club finals and England toured the country. My ‘neutral’ stadium curse was almost even more grim. Got tickets to see England v Estonia in 2015. After the Stoke debacle and my abysmal record at other games, I was absolutely desperate to celebrate a goal at one of those venues. England went 1-0 up on the stroke of half time; while I was queuing for beers 😡 Thankfully, Sterling made it 2-0 five minutes before the end. Rest assured, I celebrated that goal more than anyone else in the stadium. Edited November 14, 2019 by BWFC_LOVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalcolmW Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Only four possible opponents now: Leicester u21, Accy, Salford or Port Vale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get to play away to one of Leicester U21, Accrington, Salford or Port Vale. In the second pot, City and United U21s are guaranteed an away tie so even if drawn first, the away team plays at home. It'd be interesting to find out how Leicester are deemed to be Northern Pot while Walsall are South Pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester being further north than Walsall might have something to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalcolmW Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 1 hour ago, MickyD said: Yes but besides that... It is because the 16 u21 teams were equally split N and S, placing Leicester as N. The 48 proper teams were also equally split, placing Walsall as S. The fact that Walsall is almost due west of Leicester (but in fact a little bit south) played no part.

More likely I decided that, as I drive south on the M6 I get to Walsall way before Leicester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd gone down the M1 you'd reach Leicester way before Walsall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazBob Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Think I might go to this, seeing as I can't make it next week and I have to drive past Accrington on way home from work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyther_Matt Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Mentioned in BN that they're trying to arrange the game for this Saturday, but Lancs Police don't fancy it. Same police also don't want it to be played on Tuesday because Burnley are at home to City. End result being the game should be played in the next 7-10 days but we've no idea when.
