So with tickets now on sale, are we confirmed as Saturday at 3?

I note the official ticket announcement doesn't mention date/time, albeit fixture in schedule is in at 3 on Saturday.

When you go to purchase on line it says sat 3pm ko but ive not seen a official announcement from club as yet

Sorry. Just me being incredibly childish & echoing what their local chums call them up that way.

Preston Knob End.

That would certainly help the transfer kitty, an extra £430,000 and potentially more money from the next round. Exactly the reason we should be hoping for winnable games rather than just drawing a big team.

All matches are to be played on the Saturday (probably 12:15, 17:15, 19:15) or Sunday (probably 12:30, 17:30).

Umm, we only get the £247k if the game is televised, which I'm guessing ours won't be. If money in was the only criterion, we should have hoped for a big team as that would be much more likely to be televised. Personally, I'd prefer a winnable game (which Hull at home is) and progress, foregoing the £247k, but I don't know that PB would....

Get through this game though and ALL Round of 8 games are televised.

I'm surprised we are on TV.

Really surprised. That's all.
