All Change For The Cup

City's 3rd round FA Cup replay against Sheffield Wednesday has been switched to Tuesday 16th January. Ticket prices have been reduced so let's hope for a full house, although Sky will now be televising it.

Assuming we get through the replay, we will be entertaining Southampton in the 4th round at Eastlands. Fourth round matches are set to be played on Friday 26, Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 January, but with United ( v Portsmouth) also getting yet another home tie, I'm sure the GMP will not allow the games to go ahead on same day. The prospect of United and City playing on the same day is scary enough, but add to that the bitter rivalry between Pompey and Saints, there is the potential for an explosive situation.

Police will also have to keep a close watch on all north-bound routes as both Pompey and United fans head up from the south ;-)

The odds of BWP doing an Anelka against us must be pretty high, so get your money on it !

Come on City and Play up Pompey !
