Re: Full details of our European adventure...
We are guaranteed not to play Wrexham which is good.
Weekend booked off work so I’m hopeful for a nice trip up to Scotland. ROI or NI might be a bit difficult as it’s a week before I go on holiday.

Ha I love the new name for it, worth winning just to have it on the honours board.

Re: Full details of our European adventure...
There are only two grounds in the whole competition that I been to other than Moors, TNS and Hibernian. A weekend away in Oswestry would not be welcome, Edinburgh would be very nice, but anywhere else would be good. ~Not often in a competition do I hope to be drawn away.

Re: Full details of our European adventure...
Forgive me for saying this. I know it might bring in abit of money for the club but its too much if you ask me.
2 reasons why:
Its a league distraction.
The games are miles away if drawn away either a plane or a boat if your playing in Ireland or ni ( too much money)
Good luck to us in it. I'll more than likely be at the home games if drawn at home. But won't be going away games. Far far too much money.

Re: Full details of our European adventure...
You can literally fly to Belfast, Dublin or Glasgow for £30-40 return. Cheaper than a train to an away game in England in a lot of cases.
Glasgow and most of the central Scotland belt is only a 5-6 hour drive away and I’m sure if it was feasible there would be a coach run.

Re: Full details of our European adventure...
Yes true that.
Simon told me on fb yesterday that they would try and run a coach.
You gotta think about the cost of accommodation tho. It all adds up.

Re: Full details of our European adventure...
Fildes - I completely understand your misgivings about the competition regarding distractions and costs to the club, but this might be the one and only time we play in this competition.
Logistically it maybe a nightmare for some, but for others it could be a fantastic adventure.
Regarding it bringing in money, we would probably have to reach the final to make any profit.
