Prices for most of the other games in the third round have been announced: Aston Villa v Spurs - Adults: £15-20, Concessions: £10 Birmingham v Swansea - A: £15, C: £4-10 Burnley v Nott'm Forest - not announced yet Fulham v Everton - A: £20, C: £5-10 Hull v Huddersfield - A: £12, C: £3-8 Leicester v Derby - A: £15, C: £1-15 (seniors pay the same as adults at Leicester) Man City v Wigan - not announced yet Man United v Liverpool - A: £40-47, C: £13-36 :lol: Newcastle v Leeds - not announced yet Southampton v Bristol City - A: £18, C: £5-14 Sunderland v Peterborough - A: £10, C: £5 Swindon v Chelsea - A: £25, C: £12-19 Tranmere v Stoke - A: £15.50-17.50, C: £3-10 Watford v Norwich - A: £15, C: £5-10 West Brom v Arsenal - A: £15, C: £5-10 West Ham v Cardiff - A: £15, C: £10 Summary: we're more expensive than every game except 3 all-Premier League ties and one lower league v big PL club tie. The only real comparison (i.e. PL team at home to League One team) is Sunderland, who - as mentioned previously - are charging a tenner.

438 all out in the end.

Their name's on the cup

Bet it won't. We'll be lucky to get 10k, IMO, with those prices, and only the games at Burnley, Watford, Birmingham and Tranmere will be anywhere near as low.

Yeah, I always thought that was a bit of a strange one

He's only out for a month.

They're trying to cram the entire tour into such a small period of time. Full itinerary: Tour match v Leicestershire - June 26-28, Leicester Tour match v Derbyshire - July 1-3, Derby 1st Test - July 9-13, Trent Bridge 2nd Test - July 17-21, Lord's 3rd Test - July 27-31, Ageas Bowl 4th Test - August 7-11, Old Trafford 5th Test - August 15-19, The Oval 50-over match v Middlesex - August 22, Lord's 1st ODI - August 25, Bristol 2nd ODI - August 27, Sophia Gardens 3rd ODI - August 30, Trent Bridge 4th ODI - September 2, Edgbaston 5th ODI - September 5, Headingley Only T20I - September 7, Edgbaston So there's 3 days rest between the first and second Tests, 5 between second and third, 6 between third and fourth, and 3 between fourth and fifth. After two back-to-back Tests, they'd usually have a 9 or 10-day break. They're all going to be absolutely ****ed after the Oval Test

A couple of years back we were in the same division. There are now 53 places between us in the league.

While this is technically true, the way it usually works is that the home team tells the away team what they are proposing to charge, and the away team will only disagree if they think they'll lose out heavily. Saints won't have asked Bristol City what they think we should charge, let's put it that way.

£18 :lol: :lol:

So the ECB have announced that the India test match at the Rose Bowl next year will run from Sunday to Thursday. It's almost as if they want the venue to fail...

I think there's a bit of a "carrot and stick" approach from Pochettino with Chambers - basically, until today he'd played pretty well, and as the man in possession of the shirt, until he does something to deserve being dropped then he'd keep his place. From a player motivation perspective, it makes sense, otherwise where's the motivation for any player - not just Chambers - to perform if they know that even if they don't put a foot wrong they'll be out of the team as soon as someone else regains fitness after an injury? Redmond gave him a torrid time today, and I was surprised he wasn't taken out of the firing line in the second half when Clyne's pace and greater experience might have prevented the goal. I fully expect Clyne to be back in the side after the international break.

Both games against them were moved for this last season. We won on away goals

I would appreciate the input of someone who knows their way around financial matters.... My interpretation is that they are basically saying they can do whatever they (The PST) want with the money you have put in, if they decide against it then cannot claim back your cash.... cheers for the donation guys, it's ours to squander! P.S.... please give us more. Sounds like a Ponzi scheme to me, you can only withdraw funds if there are other funds coming in to replace you.

If you arrive at a decent time (e.g. if you plan to watch the womens game that starts at 2pm), you'd probably be able to park in the side streets near the West End Brewery pub. 15 minute walk from there.

Barely 6 months, IIRC

24/25 September

4 all-Premier League ties, will be a fifth if Everton get past Stevenage.

From a purely selfish perspective, I was hoping Burton would beat Fulham in that shootout last night as it's a ground I've not been to yet. Now that Fulham are through, though, I'll take a trip to Craven Cottage as it'll only take me about half an hour to get there!

Teams already through to the third round draw: Man United Man City Chelsea Arsenal Tottenham Swansea Wigan Saints Bristol City Burnley Fulham Leicester Derby Leeds Huddersfield Hull Liverpool Norwich Peterborough Swindon Sunderland Tranmere West Ham Birmingham West Brom With 7 games being played tonight: Accrington v Cardiff Aston Villa v Rotherham Everton v Stevenage Morecambe v Newcastle Nottingham Forest v Millwall Stoke v Walsall Watford v Bournemouth Difficult to see any of the 5 PL teams involved this evening losing, so looks like there will be 19 PL teams out of the 32 in the draw.

Whoops, didn't see an admin in the thread, did you?

Very odd considering how heavily he featured in pre-season, same with Puncheon.

Semi-final confirmed for Saturday 7th September (Notts v Somerset on Monday 9th), 12:45 start. Carberry unavailable, as he's been called up to the ODI squad.

Can't be any worse than Kerrigan tbf

Defending 219, could go either way. Essex are surely going to beat Lancashire, having posted 297/4, so if we lose, Essex would leapfrog us and top the group, and we'd almost certainly be out as Northants will beat Warwickshire (having posted 324 ) and Notts should chase down 196 at Kent, which would leave Northants as the best runner-up on 17 points.
