Would be a good bet for TV coverage, but not sure about "bums on seats", particularly with Mackems. They are playing at Gnome Park the previous Saturday, and although they have already sold out their allocation already, I suspect that the prospect of the long trek two weeks in a row might put quite a few off, particularly if it were to be televised.
Oh..I didn't know about their trip to Plymouth. Sunderland still a big name though : I'd expect a 6.5 k crowd.
The Club could make a lot more dosh from a home fixture though in addition to the 45% of the gate (after deductions for expenses), there would be all the additional revenue from bars, catering, hospitality, sponsorship, etc, etc, etc. Every little helps, and might assist King Matt, should he want to strengthen the squad in the January window.
We'll draw Plymouth at home in the following round, no worries.
My birthday number, hopefully a lucky omen for a good draw.
Nope, we'll beat someone else in the 1st round, and then be drawn at Bury in the 2nd round. So we can play at Gigg Lane twice in a week.It is going to be away to Bury
