    Another good reason for playing Doncaster is a reunion with Billy Sharp.

    Oh for sure could have been worse, but still pretty crap. Not a chance I'll bother with that one. Club media team will be happy to not have to produce another programme, although I doubt they'll be fighting over who gets to go to Donny <laugh>

    It's certainly not an exciting one but better than what we get 90% of the time.

    I'm in two minds. Would like to go really but it's a lot of miles/cash for two games a week apart with the Boro game.

    How many games do they televise these days? About 6 init?

    Skates Arsenal
    Macclesfield Palace
    Spurs Villa
    United Brighton
    Charlton Chelsea

    Then probably another all Prem tie.

    Maybe Liverpool Barnsley too.

    Thinking about it I swear there was **** loads on last season, wasn't us v Swanswa on even?

    Seem to recall they move lots of non TV games to Sunday now too. Hopefully they don't do that here.

    Good draw imo. Makes a nice change getting someone we have rarely played from a lower league.

    Half a dozen all Prem ties? Good start to the cup that.

    50 years since we won it. It’s written.

    Reckon Wrexham v Forest will be on the box.

    First time Hollywood have played a Prem team I think.

    My second team away.*

    Going to see if I can get my 94 year old Donny based Grandad to the game, means I might have to sit amongst the locals though.

    *Obviously supporting Saints in this one.

    Also 50 years since we won at Fratton in a league game and they were relegated from the second tier that season too.

    It's happening.

    Macclesfield v Palace should be on TV IMO, non league v the holders.
