The glamour

Plenty of overtime for the West Midlands Police

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Yep, must have been a fair few years since all of the West Midlands clubs were drawn at home in the same round of a cup competition.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Going to have to spread them across the week.

 

[Igzilla]

We could offer to swap with Walsall, if that helps

 

[Notters]

Plenty of overtime for the West Midlands Police

if it was a competition that drew crowds! I expect there'll be one copper at the Bescott, about ten at the Molineux and a couple at the others.

The horror

 

[studio150]

I assume that a solution would be for the 3 Birmingham teams to play on separate days (Tues/Weds/Thurs) with Wolves and Walsall to be (Tues/Weds).
This keeps the Birmingham City free of clashes

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Hopefully we would not be expected to play Thursday as this would mean moving the Saturday fixture to Sunday buggering up any pre-arranged travel arrangement to Ipswich. Bad enough that strike action may effect train travel from the West Country into London as it is all the Bank Holiday weekend.

I can't make Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday and only live 10 minutes from Bescott.

I am probably the only person hoping that our game is somehow moved (preferably to the week after... he says without checking the fixture list).

A difficult conundrum for West Midlands Police. Villa and Brum won't play on the same day, neither will Wolves and West Brom. I would hazard a guess that our game will be seen as pretty low risk, and be allowed to go ahead whenever.

And from past experience that lone officer at the Bescot Stadium will be more than a pain in the ar$e for visiting fans
