Am I right in thinking that they're usually mid-week games?

Yes

 

[FryattFox]

Yes

Thanks.

 

[Jeff]

Am I right in thinking that they're usually mid-week games?

Apart from the final, yes.


But on this occasion, there is a chance that some matches could be played on Saturday August 11th, a week before the season starts, if both clubs want to do it and the Football League agree to it. I know Carlisle were hoping to do that, but they've been drawn against Accrington Stanley, who have a friendly against Bolton on the Saturday, so they're not going to cancel that just so they can play the cup match a few days earlier.

Based on the fact that bookies set their prices to reflect their risk, it seems there are lot of idiots out there.o

What's going on?o

 

[Rich B]

Fleetwood away - new ground for me !

A special bond with Torquay as explained in the programme notes from our 4th round FA Cup tie with them in 1971. If it follows precedent we should give them a spanking, win promotion and change our currency three weeks later.

 

[Real Sharapova]

Wahay! New ground for me.

Any idea when we will know which day for sure? I am thinking of planning a late family holiday to Devon for a week and would like to tie it in with this if I can.

On one page Torquay have it down for the Tuesday but elsewhere it's still more vague.
