Man City U21's - Confirmed Tues 22nd Feb

Nah fuck them. Works for us with their senior game against burton on the same night

their 2nd leg v Burton. I reckon we'll find that most of their top young'uns are involved in that giving the senior players the night off.

That hadn’t crossed my mind. Starting to think it could be reality now.

 

[TopCat]

Man City, Newcastle or Chelsea - we should be beating their kids 9 times out of 10.

 

[Botchie]

No. I've booked a night away for our lasses Birthday. She thinks I'm missing the match for it.

 

[YES WE GYAN]

Would be good, but can't see it as City have an FA Cup game (unless it gets moved), and an U18s cup game on that Saturday.

 

[0321safc]

Really hope this happens. Nothing better than a Saturday 3PM game at the SOL. 7.45 Tuesday night with 7,000 there ain’t an appetising prospect.

So now if it does get moved people will start moaning that it's been done with the big club in mind.

Personally I'd probably rather have a Saturday off anyway.

 

[MarcoG]

Won't happen.

I’d stick with the original date then

Could we ask Man City and the EFL to get this game moved to the blank Saturday on the 26th instead of playing it on the previous Tuesday night? Crowd would be far bigger and would just be a better day out for the fans.

Had a look and Man City have no fixtures listed for their EDS side that weekend.

Maybe not the draw we wanted but at least if we win and get to Wembley it definately will not be an U21 side we play against.

Where is our free Saturday?

26th January. Supposed to be playing Gillingham but they are still in the FA Cup.

Actually a really good call but delaying it by four days ? I think it unlikely.

One of the U21's sides (Spurs I think) got a previous round match moved back 2 weeks.

Well you never know then !

Club would make more money from a Saturday

It will most likely be back to £3 in so we wont make much at all, but the crowd will be bigger which will create a better atmosphere and give our lads more of a chance.

The real money in this is by getting to the final.

What's a final appearance worth out of interest ?

Yeah leave it when it is and hope he picks some of the young ones for that match.

 

[Jasper]

This is the cup Pep still dreams about.
