I would have DJ on the first leg, then Gilbey to hand over to Davison before CBT brings home the Baton with the result that Cafc win in a photo finish.
Watson doesn't make the team !

You will probably see more on the telly than at the stadium, although nothing beats being there.
However this is definitely an exception in my opinion.0 -
Away fans are normally in the stand on the right, not behind a goal. Still has the running track between the stand and the pitch, but not as bad a view as you'd get from one of the ends.stonemuse said:

Game to be replayed Tuesday 30th Novemberclive said:The Football Association is investigating whether Exeter City used too many substitutes during their FA Cup win over Bradford City on Tuesday.
The Grecians, who went on to win the game 3-0 in extra time, changed five players during the goalless 90 minutes.
They then brought on Josh Key for Sam Nombe at the start of extra time.
Under FA Cup rules this season clubs can bring on five players during a game, including extra time, with a sixth allowed for a concussion.
"A review is due to take place following last night's FA Cup game between Exeter City and Bradford City at St James Park," Exeter City said in a statement.
"The matter will be considered by an FA committee and is in reference to the number of substitutions allowed during the match.

What a drag for the supporters. I can't imagine too many Bradford supporters want another (midweek) trip to Exeter!shirty5 said:

Exeter could consider themselves very lucky... Sort of thing that clubs usually get kicked out of competitions for.1

AA, after Harold Godwinson my Anglo Saxon relative on my paternal side, defeated the Vikings under Harald Hardrada in the semi final of the Euros on 25th September 1066 at Stamford bridge "up North"; because of Engineering works his men had to march home some with athletes foot and the odd arm missing to prepare for the final at Senlac Hill, Battle, over the weekend of the 13/14 October against the Normans, under William the Bastard. The Normans had a bye in the semi final when the Romans didn't turn up because they were 600 years past their sell by date
Harold who had his EUFA pro licence liked to play narrow and defend and keep a high line. Now Billy the bastard liked to attack down the flanks, unfortunately for my team Anglo Saxon Rovers, some of his defenders had a brain freeze and chased down after Norman conquest United attackers who were in retreat but it was a trick and they were cut to ribbons. As you all know there were no Subs in those days, even Keith Peacock was still in the academy and the momentum swing was amazing and the rest is History.
I must move on, but for me it's too soon.

Remember Gateshead as a famous Athletics town.....wasn't Steve Cram from there ? That's probably where they compete.0

Cram is a Sunderland supporter. I'm not sure what the split would be in that area. It's the "wrong" side of the Tyne, but Newcastle is much closershirty5 said:
Cram was born in Gateshead and ran for the Jarrow Athletics Club. Brendan Foster was a member of the Gateshead club.ct_addick said:Remember Gateshead as a famous Athletics town.....wasn't Steve Cram from there ? That's probably where they compete.0 -
Exeter City manager Matt Taylor said he and his staff were told by the match officials that they could use a sixth substitute in extra time if all five changes had been made during the 90 minutes.ForeverAddickted said:Exeter could consider themselves very lucky... Sort of thing that clubs usually get kicked out of competitions for."We all thought we could use a sixth sub in extra time, we subsequently did so, but it turns out that decision was wrong and we shouldn't have been allowed to do that," Taylor told BBC Sport.
"Bradford tried to make a sixth substitution and that was turned down, so a strange chain of events occurred, and nobody knew what had happened until well after the game when it became apparent on the referee's team sheet."
"I should have done more due diligence as manager, it's my responsibility," he added.
"In the meetings with the officials before the game and during the game the information that was relayed to us was wrong, hence why I think we're still in the competition because we've not tried to cheat the system.
"It's an honest mistake and it's not just ourselves who've made that mistake, but we feel the brunt of that responsibility because it's ourselves who've ultimately been punished."
Bradford manager Derek Adams did not want to comment on the FA's decision to replay the game, but did confirm that the red card shown to striker Lee Angol during the match will stand.

- One club allowed to make a sixth substitute, one club wasn't.
Imagine had Bradford been allowed to do similar, then there would be no need for a replay.
In addition, how can a red card stand when the game doesn't effectively exist anymore?1 -
The same happened to a Doncaster player when our waterlogged game against Doncaster was abandoned!ForeverAddickted said:

I had a bet on the original game for both teams to score. As the result has been cancelled will I get my money back…… ?0

Does that mean he gets to serve his ban for the red card in the same game he was sent off in?ForeverAddickted said:

Or do red cards in cup games mean you can serve the suspensions in league games?2
