Think ‘might’ being the operative word. Games will still be moved to Sunday and it’s unlikely West Brom, Wolves and Birmingham all play at home same day.

On another note, how shit are those TV picks?

They are both shit and entirely predictable.

Recently there have been examples where all 4 West Midlands teams were at home on the same day. I remember reading about it somewhere saying that it never used to happen but WMP don’t seem to be so bothered now especially for cup games with lower gates.

I remember a few years back, both Sheffield teams played at home on the same day in the cup. Obviously they factor in the opposition when making these decisions.

Argus jumping the gun massively there.

Wolves, Birmingham and West Brom won’t all kick off at 3PM on Saturday.

As we will only take a maximum of 500 ours will move to the Sunday very likely. Then one of the others will move to Friday evening and one will stay at Saturday 3PM.

If we've put a clause in our loan contracts preventing players from appearing against us then that would supersede individual competition rules.

I agree but the point I was making it's not against the rules of the competition.

I do wonder if Brighton would have bothered having it in the loan agreement as the chances of playing them would be remote.

Although playing against any one of the domestic clubs we've loaned a player to is unlikely the fact we know we could potentially face any of them in the League Cup or FA Cup means it's not that remote and you'd hope we had the foresight to include the clause.

The Argus confirmed Carl Rushworth wasn't able to play against us for Walsall in the EFL trophy earlier this season so it does look like we cover that eventuality.

Haven’t kept an eye on ticket site but taking a look now looks like we’ve nearly sold our allocation…..meaning 2k Going?

Think we’ve only taken 3 blocks and there’s 240 left. So, a bit over a thousand sold probably.
