what's the rest of the draw? there's going to be at least a couple of live games I would guess so we could be in with a shout of being on TV. Good for those of use that live miles away and could do without another midweek trip but not so good for attendance.

I can see us getting a decent crowd if we get a good start in Div3. Hopefully we will have our best players fit. As all fans that live local for both sides don't have to travel far I can see it not affecting the gate too much for a midweek game. We have home advantage and the dummy brummies will turn up expecting an easy game.

It is a cup game. Anything can happen. Will they rest players thinking they won't need their strongest side out? Just p!ssed off that I am away for this one We should treat it like our cup final for the season, and if we end up with a bigger game later on in the season it will be a bonus.

Our game could be seen as a local derby where both teams are after promotion. Biggest team is also away. The sort of game they go for. Although I can't make the game I would prefer it not to be shown on TV. We need the money and could do with a big Cov following.

I am disappointed. Surprised at the reaction on here as well. I have never seen Blues as a rival for us but at least its a local game and hopefully they will bring a few. I enjoyed the home game last year though.

we drew 1-1 near end of last season in an even game

now defence may be worse off but attack could be better

we have a chance albeit a small one.

Oh god,not shitty Birmingham. I can imagine it now,90 minutes of the gobby brummies taking the piss out of us for being in the 3rd tier then king pops up and scores the winner. Christ it was bad enough when villa used to mock us but at least theyve a decent history. Thank fuck im on nights for that one(with the bloody brummies). Try working in a car factory in brum for nigh on 20 years and you'll understand where I'm coming from.

It would have been nice to have played Villa to gain some sort of revenge from 2001, but the Blues will have to do for now!

What's the gate likely to be? Can't predict our following, anything between 2.500-5000
