I think in most places half term is the week before.

Half term in Middlesbrough covers the week they play us

Will they request the game to be on Wednesday...so they can stay in glorious Devon Thursday, Friday for their game in Cornwall on Saturday?

Can they do that?

 

[Pete Martin (CTID)]

Just imagine for a moment....we beat Middlesbrough midweek and, on the Saturday after, they beat the Gargoyles at Gnome Park. Fantasy? Yep....but....

If Carlsberg did weeks and all that.

And with a pattern (of sorts)

Crawley Town
Stevenage Borough
Luton Town
Middlesb(o)rough

Ipswich Town or Mansfield Town at home in the quarter final then I guess.

Another pattern is that we've been drawn at home to sides in each of the four divisions from which clubs in this competition come. League Two,League One, Premiership,Championship.

they can ask and City may agree. The only people who can insist on the date in that week they want are Sky, if they choose to show it.

With our limited capacity cup runs are a valuable income stream, one that we have failed to exploit significantly for the last 20 years. A decent run now could mean not having to sell our gems and being able to raise our game in the transfer market.
Borough at home is good as a possible route to the next round but we really need a sell out big away stadium to make any real cash.

One thing to be considered is that the following weekend is FA Cup Round 1 and we don't know where we'll be playing that fixture yet.

One of my neighbours is a retired police detective who spent 15 years in Luton,and she saw some very illuminating things !

Was it the police cars being set on fire by local youth??

Wouldn't it be complete outside the box thinking to speak to Plymouth to come up with some sort of deal for Boro fans to buy tickets for both games as a one-off purchase? Could be good for both clubs if people are looking to make a trip of it.
