There's a game tonight, albeit in the noddy cup. The first time I will be attending a game in this competition since its ridiculous reformatting, as something kind of rides on it as we're through to the next round with a win/draw and win on pens. Coventry will also go through if they win in 90 minutes. It's a proper cup tie (kind of).

£5 entry and a rare opportunity to sample the Hazelwoods Stand.

I like this comp.

Obviously League survival is the absolute priority but I would take winning the FLT over a third round FA Cup tie.

What better way to signal the start of the Wilcox and Duff era than ending this season with a Wembley win to take us into next Summer when AW and MD will start making their mark in earnest.

I see that the game is on ifollow tonight. The question is: am I stupid enough to spend £10.00? The answer is probably.

Yes. Get on VPN. Go through as a non UK and pay £5/6 or €5/6 I think it is.

Maybe the time has come for us to make our mark in earnest. Can’t be any worse than the way we’ve been playing in England.

£10 on iplayer seems a bit steep given it's only £5 to get in. Granted, you're not in the area, but still...

Isn't there £10k for the winner? I know it's not much but it may pay towards a loanee for second half of the season or potentially relocation and sign-on fee for a permanent player.

Yes, £10k for the winner of the game, £5k each if it's a draw.
It's then £20k if we win the next round, then £40k the round after, £50 the round after that.
Then £50k for winning a semi-final, £50k for losing the final and £100k for winning the final.
So if a team were to win every game in the competition inside 90 minutes, they can earn £290,000.

No problem as far as I am concerned. I have paid £10 to watch online when people have paid £21 on the gate, after all.
