Don't want to tempt fate but the better (us and Fulham) and bigger sides (Manc teams and Spurs) seem to have avoided each other. Think this is a much better draw than City or United away!

Don't forget the wind. The way it whips in from that open corner next to our terrace. While the Delilah singers are comparatively warm and cosy.

Not enough all PL ties. Could mean the rest of the tournament is just PL (and MASSIVE - who are de facto PL anyway).

Back to the coldest stadium in the world it is then. Was f***ing frozen when I last went there in 2005 I think it was.

Those thinking of staying should consider a short drive , well 29 miles and spend the night in Burton. Great town

Exactly what we did for the game when we scored the finest goal I have seen us score. Bloody excellent night. Some amazing pubs and a very decent curry (where you could bring pints in from the pub next door).

Might do that again.

i only noticed this “mention” from reading the thread; is there somewhere on the site where posters get notified? I would have thought it would be in the bell icon? But nothing in there. Just curious

Hmmm.

It should be the bell icon. I just checked my user preferences and I have them set to be notified of a mention, yet I never have been (but always quotes and likes).

Might be a Xenforo bug. Will ask the boss.

Burton = lovely

A bit closer is Leek

Leek = shit hole

I'm only rating the towns by nice evenings out/stitches needed.

B.U.T. Scores infinity.
Leek Scores 0.125.

Would be quite nice to swerve Man City all the way to the final. Nobody else we really need to fear
