It does indeed. No replays in the County Cups (except in the unlikely event that a match is abandoned in extra time).

Not according to the FA, cup games are held at the weekends, and only replays can be held in midweek 8-)

Sileby are playing their Junior Cup tie on Wednesday night :?

They are playing a team called Denton whose manager and a couple of players i know. If we'd have drawn a team like them away, we would have been playing basically on a field and i think we certainly would have been looking at double figures!

As much as we would love to win any silverware especially in our first season, I'm wondering, do we actually want to do well in this cup, considering where the final may very well be held (as it was last season), would the NFA be that cruel and make us play there, cause personally as long as that place has ktfc everywhere, I'd rather not go there at all.

I agree, would be better to switch it to Steel Park, if we ever made the final 8-)

There is no way I will step foot in Nene Park

Anyone know where last season's Junior Cup final was held? They wouldn't have the JC at NP, the HSC is a different matter.

It was at NP last year.

I seem to remember that it's been held at NP on quite a few occasions, should we progress a couple of rounds it might be worth telling the NFA that 10 times as many Diamonds fans would watch at Brackley than would ever enter NP.

You'd probably see more Diamonds fans if it was being held 100 miles away!

See Sileby won their Junior Cup game 9-2 last night. Why were they allowed to play midweek if we've been told games in this competition must be held on a Saturday?
