Liam Gallagher has a gig at OT this Saturday and they want to give the outfield maximum time to recover. Originally there was a rumour that we'd give up home advantage in the QFs if needs be, as it wouldn't have been practical to move it to Liverpool or Blackpool at short notice.

Pretty ******* useless of Lancs that, isn't it? It's not like they are a crap side with no chance of qualifying top 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Dazzler Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Watching Glos play Sussex at the Brightside tonight reminded me of watching Lancs v Birmingham on TV last night. Glos already qualified for the QFs , but Sussex really needing to win to have a chance of the QFs, be it home or away. Lancs, already in the QFs, were crushed by Birmingham last night as the Bears had to win, same with Sussex (although not a crushing defeat), they wanted it more..

This may sound harsh but if they are so greedy to arrange a concert at OT during the season , as if all their income as an International venue isn’t enough then if the ground is not available for the scheduled fixture I’d simply say they forgo home advantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Dazzler Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Better for Glos to have lost, Worcester away is much better as an away fixture (bit of a local derby) than Durham away.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Very poor show from Glos to throw away a home tie in the last 2 games. Meanwhile the inequality continues of playing only 14 games instead of 16. Is it so hard to play the last 2 to make it even? City don't play 44 games do they!

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Serious question. How do they decide which of the winning QF teams play each other in the SFs, is it a draw or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
