City v Sheff Wed build up

Not sure they are allowed to use the weather at their end as an excuse for not travelling, are they?

Not unless there were verifiable road closures and police travel warnings that would make their journey impossible.

There isn’t even any weather up there - not now or forecast

Favourable forecast up that way for the rest of the week, maybe some light snow showers on Friday.

Clubs received an email from the FA last week warning that matches must go ahead in the competition if both teams have 14 fit registered players available and they would not necessarily have to be from the first-team squad.

If a club says they are unable to fulfil a fixture this weekend due to positive Covid-19 tests, the Professional Game Board will decide on the outcome but is likely to award the tie to their opponents.

That's good they're issuing clear guidelines and Wednesday will have to play the game. On the other hand it's a pig that we could progress to the next round for one of the rare times with no fans to watch.

Dare to Believe!

(That the game will be on).

So an outside chance we could make the final without playing a game if I understand everything correctly (that in itself is unlikely)

We have a sleeve sponsor for the match: MidexPRO, who previously sponsored the EFL U16 Floodlit cup.

BBC sport are reporting that Derby are playing their kids. I wonder if Wednesday will end up doing the same?

I really hope so and we tonk them with a team mainly of our kids.

We then get a bye in the 4th and 5th round due to the opposition not being able to fulfil the fixtures, scrape through the quarters and somehow find ourselves in the FA Cup semi final against another L2 side whos had a similar fate....
