EFL Round 2 draw

Wonder if AccyClarets are putting buses on?? Police escorts to the ground & all that - I personally think any local Burnley fans should have to travel to Burnley & come in by coach from there & they'll need to get into our stadium at least 2 hours before kick off - yeah, that should work ok :D:rolleyes:
 
Whats the betting either this match or the Blackburn at home match gets moved to the following night. Potential nightmare for Police if both matches are on the same evening.
 
Our tie is likely to be Wednesday as Bournemouth are playing on the Sunday afternoon.

It would make sense to put it on TV , North v South is maybe more appealing to Sky.

Yeah, but they've already done that when we beat Bournemouth in the FA Cup a few years ago - no, I think the Lancashire derby game's the favourite to be broadcast ;)
 
This draw means the world to be, it really does. When I was at school I used to get the mickey ripped out of me by Burnley and Rovers fans. Both Premiership and Football League respectively, whilst we would duly get spanked by the likes of Bamber Bridge. John Coleman has delivered more than I ever dreamed possible.

Conference?? A pipe dream. Football League?? They'd have dragged you away for the mere suggestion. I always said the only thing we had t achieved was to beat one of our two neighbours in a competitive game.

Now we meet competitively and are equals for just ninety minutes. Never thought I'd see the day. Come on Coley.....give us one more miracle.


It's time to summon the spirit of '68 and avenge what Bob the Butcher did. Our Town. Our Time.

I can't see Bournemouth playing Thursday with a Premier League game the following Saturday

:) incentive how much more incentive do you need than to watch stanley play one of our local rivals in a proper cup game in stead of a friendly with a full house :)

I think the idea is to make them buy tickets for other games to get 1 for Burnley.

There'll be 4200 on for this game so we need to get another 2 or 3 for another game as well :-)

I'm not too sure as some one will have to do it and the prem teams will put out second string teams no doubt.

I can't see Morecambe Bournemouth being on TV, my prediction is Tuesday Accy Burnley, Wednesday Burton Liverpool.
Hopefully this is the case but either way it'll be a great night and hopefully a good result for our boys

There will be one game on Thursday as well guaranteed according to the football league.

The Chelsea and Everton games have a possibility as well as the Shrimps and Stanley, however Burton is 200% nailed on. 1 + (2 from 4).

Surely Burton a pretty poor Championship team against the Liverpool Academy isn't going to be a great spectacle.

Although it is once again "Nigel Clough's Burton Albion" and Sky love "name" managers.

bit of sense from north west lancashire. the problem is we,re all excited about the game but if you live darn sarf a local lancashire derby is not of much interest as would say hartlepools v sunderland. north v south games with teams who were famous in the 1950,s seem to be more popular with the tv chiefs.
