Shrewsbury game arranged for Friday Dec 1 at 7:45pm.

Shocking decision that by the club for the fan base.
2 games in 4 days and we can barely scrape a team together as it is right now.

Has to be played by 2nd Dec and F'Word are at home then so Friday it has to be.

Never good for fans.
But a game at that time under lights might just edge up our chances of making the 3rd round a little bit more

Why can't it be on Sunday 3rd?
Hall Of Fame
Is that right? There are 2nd round games taking place on Sunday 3rd and Monday 4th.

? Just going by the dates on the FA site. Suppose we could have tried for the Tuesday but I suppose both sides have to agree.

Can’t imagine for one minute that Shrewsbury wanted a Friday night game. Like us they play on the Tuesday before. We are at home, they travel to Exeter.

This will only be the 4th time we play an FA Cup tie at Meadow Lane on a Friday night.
Fri 03/Jan/1975 v PORTSMOUTH 14,723 won 3-1
Fri 06/Nov/2009 v BRADFORD CITY 4,213 won 2-1
Fri 03/Nov/2017 v BRISTOL ROVERS 4,228 won 4-2
We've played 12 home FA Cup ties on a Sunday, the last two against Accy and Posh in 2014 and 2016 attracting crowds of less than 4k, though the Posh tie was towards the end of the Trew/John Sheridan era.
