Beware the 3rd December against Cheltenham @ the Valley
If England finish second in the World Cup Group, then we'll be playing our 2nd Round game @ 3pm that day - Could well be a late KO change, as there will only be four days between our last Group Game, and the 2nd Round
17th December against Bristol Rovers, will clash with the 3rd Place Game if both are at 3pm
Bit shit how we have matches on 3rd December when England are very likley to have a 2nd round world cup match in the world cup and on the 10th as well if we get through

The 10th will be a 7pm KO for England if they play that day - Might reduce the numbers going to Morecambe.
still can't believe all the leagues aren't pausing for the WC
There are no League games during the entirety of the Group Stages
So its highly unlikely that a club at this level will have any players missing for the KO rounds.
Although I'd be surprised if there arent FA Cup | EFL Trophy games scheduled instead
I hadn't realised that, I thought it was only the Championship that paused for the WC group stages
No I didnt either until I saw the Fixture List.
Group Games are from the 21st Nov | 2nd Dec so feels like they've been squeezed in this time around, although its unsurprising - There is only one Saturday we dont play between then which is the 26th.
So I'd imagine the FA Cup dates will be as per follows looking at the gaps:
1st Round - 5th November 2nd Round - 26th November

And not even sat, tues which I can sort of understand, but lots of 2 consecutive away or home games on a saturday.
Fleetwood A - Sept 17th
Two local games for me, shorts weather. Buzzing.
What are the Euro millions numbers for Friday please?
