Derby v Barnsley FA Cup tie rescheduled.
In order for broadcast coverage of the match to be provided for live distribution overseas, the game will take place at Pride Park Stadium on Sunday 8th January 2023 (12:30pm kick-off).
Derby and, it would seem, Barnsley, are that massive that foreign broadcasters are clamouring to televise our Cup tie.
Let's be honest, MA, it's not the tie both of us had dreamed of.
Can't argue with that Gunter. A winnable tie for both of us, both being among the better performing sides in L1. Hopefully, whichever side wins, and I hope it's us, gets one of the bigger grounds away in R4 for a top pay day. OT, Anfield, Toon, Gunners, Spurs, Citeh.....
The gate? We had 26123 at our place back in August when you visited. I'm expecting nowhere near that for this cup tie. Around 15K is my guesstimate.
The L1 game at yours in February will see 4 of us Cloggies over, provided we can get tickets. We always take a lot to yours and, it seems, your away allocation these days won't see us taking over 7000 like we did back in 07 in our promotion season. If we can't get tickets, Burton are at home to Accrington and we'll do corporate there as part of my birthweekend celebrations. Either way, we'll have a good time.
