The General Football Thread

Reckon it will get TV coverage as I said, along with Spurs and Arsenal games. Not as mundane as previous Championship ties IMO.

 

Yeah it is. NE Midlands then!

 

Derby have got huge matches against Boro and Leeds either side of this one - which come straight off the back of two more huge matches against Sheff Utd and Norwich.

Expect Derby to rest most of their team.

 

Lamps has got derby firing and they’ve got some impressive players.

 

On second thoughts I might go if the price is right.

 

That was quick.

 

Yeah my brother in law phoned me n said he was tempted and thinking about it, it's not too far and if tickets are about £15 then I'll definitely consider it.

 

Pick me up on the way through

 

I will.

 

And me ...

 

Woking vs Watford will be on TV, surely?

 

How about this as a cheap option for our 3rd choice back up GK?...a few cans of Pedigree Chum a week must be better than £80 grand!...

Solihull v Arsenal and Tranmere/Southport v Spuds too.

Pretty sure we won't be on tv, hope not anyway.

 

You both definitely going?

 

I haven't got a rubber stamped pass, but very likely. I also have a feeler out for a freebie ticket as I know someone connected there. If it helps and I go, people can drive or train to Northampton and I'll drive to Derby. Will probably be my lad too as hockey not started back then, so space for three extra.

 

Last season 6 ties were televised in the 3rd round (excluding replays)....

 

I probably won’t to be honest. I was hoping for a home tie or a more local away game.

 

Derby isn't that far, I was back from Leicester the other night at just gone midnight. Not much further than Wolves.

 

I'm not 100% and am hoping for a Saturday 3pm ko really. I wasn't sure at all at first but I've had a few people mention it to me so as long as prices are decent and it's a reasonable kick off time I'll most probably go.

 

Fiver says Man U v Reading are televised.
