Yep, must have been a fair few years since all of the West Midlands clubs were drawn at home in the same round of a cup competition.

I assume that a solution would be for the 3 Birmingham teams to play on separate days (Tues/Weds/Thurs) with Wolves and Walsall to be (Tues/Weds).
This keeps the Birmingham City free of clashes

Hopefully we would not be expected to play Thursday as this would mean moving the Saturday fixture to Sunday buggering up any pre-arranged travel arrangement to Ipswich. Bad enough that strike action may effect train travel from the West Country into London as it is all the Bank Holiday weekend.

I can't make Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday and only live 10 minutes from Bescott.

I am probably the only person hoping that our game is somehow moved (preferably to the week after... he says without checking the fixture list).

A difficult conundrum for West Midlands Police. Villa and Brum won't play on the same day, neither will Wolves and West Brom. I would hazard a guess that our game will be seen as pretty low risk, and be allowed to go ahead whenever.
