Should City beat NEC next week (fingers Xed), the first leg of the 3rd round is at home.

Now, surely City will want to play this on the above date, July 17th, yes?

Now heres the interesting part. That is the same day that thr Roy Keane XI are due to play the Stiffs at the Cross!!!

What will happen? Surely a competitive European match will take precedence over a friendly?

Interesting eh!?

think about it though

its not our pitch and ramblers probably have it booked off the MFA a long time before we even thought of booking it

Seems like a plan ..... but lads, we dont even have that problem yet so theres no point.

Sunday is the next hurdle and the one we should be concerned with.

just tell keane to fcuk off and play it on the saturday night. most likely what will happen is that it would be switched to the sunday because the friendly has already sold out and cobh would hardly want to give refunds.

Keane would be impressed by city professionalism if you did tell him to fcuk off ;)

The thing is, its not our ground so I don't think we have a say in it. I think the 18th is the best solution. I would hate it if the dates were swapped around cos the tie could be over when the second leg is played at the cross

hold yer horses a while there biy... people said the same about malmo and neijmegen and last i remebered we hammered malmo and we got a great 0-0 draw against nec on sat.. i'd rather play away first.. we are well organised and difficult to beat away and who knows what we could muster up out the cross with a packed house

I thought the first leg of the nxt round (should we get there!!!) was supposed to be away????

Is it definately down to be home first???

That's the impression I was under aswell.

Anyway, we shouldn't be talking about the next round as we have a very difficult match against an excellent Dutch side to contend with on Sunday first.
