Caribo cup game v Sutton

[Armitage Shanks]

7pm Tuesday 10th August.

With fans being hopefully allowed back, it timing is quite early to kick off

Just been talking to a few Sutton fans and they are genuinely excited about this tie.

They really consider us a big name side and are looking forward to playing in an international stadium.

God only knows what we would make of Gander Green Lane though .

Is 7pm going to become a regular kick off time? I wonder whether we will play any League games at that time.

There was a time watching City where I would hope for a big team in the Cup. Against the so called bigger clubs.

Given that we have been spoiled in recent times though I find it has totally changed in that I wish for a team from lower down the leagues or non league with as old/traditional ground as possible, preferably a terraced end.

It's hardly surprising.

This will be their first ever season of league football. They've only had 11 seasons at what I still call Conference level (National League).

In the FA cup they have made the 1st round on 23 occasions, losing 15 times in round 1 and 3 times in round 2. Their standout victory was beating Coventry 2-1 in the 3rd round in 1989, before losing 8-0 at Carrow Road in the next. In 2017 they beat AFC Wimbledon in round 3 and Leeds in round 4, before a 2-0 home defeat to Arsenal. In their competitive history, the only other big sides they've play are Middlesbrough and Notts County (when they had been relegated from Div 1 in the early 90s). They also lost 6-0 at home to Leeds in 1970.

Even if Sutton went down this season, to get into the league, given their history, is fantastic and I'm sure every game will be a cup final for them.

Yes, it's always nicer to exit the tournament at an old fashioned ground!

It looks like all our midweek games in the Championship are scheduled for 19:45 at the moment.
