At least it starts with a B. Then we just need to play Burnley, Bolton, Birmingham, Barnsley and Burton and we’ve won the ****ing thing.
The Tigers’ Emirates FA Cup Third Round opponents have been confirmed after Blackburn Rovers beat Crewe Alexandra in a second round replay on Wednesday evening. Danny Graham, who spent a spell on loan at the KCOM Stadium during the 2013/14 season, scored the only goal of the game as League One Rovers got the better of League Two Alex. It means the Tigers’ will now travel to Rovers’ Ewood Park on Saturday 6th January for a 3pm kick-off. Details of when tickets will go on sale will follow in due course, with prices agreed as follows: £12 Adults £5 Seniors (65 and over) & Young Adults (18-21) £2 Juniors 17 and under
There is a cup game at the KComm this Wednesday night but the club are keeping it secret until after the kick off.
It was a great shame that, when City did get to the final (and it was one of the best finals I've seen), the game was televised by ITV. Now that the BBC are involved again our moment of glory seems to have been whitewashed from history.
