The following 4th round ties will be played in the week commencing Oct. 27:

Tottenham vs. Brighton and Hove Albion

Stoke City vs. Southampton

Bournemouth vs. West Brom

Shrewsbury Town vs. Chelsea

Liverpool vs. Swansea City

MK Dons vs. Sheffield United

Manchester City vs. Newcastle United

Fulham vs. Derby County

I have to say, barring any slip ups we really should be making the final? I know its a competition for squad and fringe players mostly.

As it goes on however, I'd like to see the team become stronger. Its not a priority cup at all, but still nice to win. It would strengthen the correct mentality for the closing chapter of the season.

We will meet City or/and Spurs on the way to the final.

Is that a cert ?

Is it a cert if we get city away next?

I'd bet your house on it! lol

So its not a cert then :)

Shrews are looking into trying to temporarily increase the capacity of the Meadow for the Chelsea game.  The corners are empty at the moment and I remember when it was built being told that they could build extra there if it was ever required - I didn't realise they might be able to do it on a temporary basis though.

And my husband was sent this by email yesterday.  They're obviously trying to take full advantage of the interest in the match by getting people to buy season tickets to guarantee a ticket to Chelsea.

Really want us to get this trophy this season, think getting this one in could lead to big things.

I clicked on that link BQ, is that a typo it says "Salop taking on etc". I don't want to rag on your town BQ but i worked with this bloke in the 80's who lived in Shrewsbury for a while and he said it was so boring he joined a chess club!.

That's odd when I click on it it goes to a story saying Town May Raise their Capacity for Chelsea Clash. 

 

It's not boring if you know the right people!!  Admittedly it's not the liveliest of places (especially for young people) but I like it - Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool are all within driving distance so you can go to gigs, etc easily.  Public transport is pants and the people are a bit narrow-minded though.  I guess nowhere's perfect.

 

And I don't belong to a chess club, nor know anyone who does!

 

Chief executive Matt Williams has revealed all four corners of the stadium could be filled in to accommodate the thousands of fans who want to see Salop take on Jose Mourinho’s side in the last 16 on October 28.

It's excellent for Chelsea, good chance to reach more confidence and to continue in this cup. In my opinion Mourinho must win this one, we need tittles this year.

That's the important part of that sentence though.  How long would planning permission and the actual erection of it take though?  There's only just over 4 weeks until the match.

I just reread your post and realised I hadn't understood what you meant - I thought  you meant it took you to the wrong story, but you were querying whether Salop was a typo weren't you.  Although Salop is more usually used for an abbreviation for Shropshire, it is actually also used for Shrewsbury as well round here - so Shrewsbury Town is referred to as Salop (pronounced Sollop) as well as the Shrews.

 

And don't pronounce it Shrowsbury either.  Only posh locals and outsiders call it that - call is Shrewsbury like the animal.

We're being televised on the Tues. Only 48 hrs rest after the ManU game so expect heavy rotation.

I'm so posh i thought that a creche was when two cars collide in Hampstead.

Tonight I watched The Taming Of The Shrow with RIchard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.

 

(It's ok, I've already fetched my coat.........................)

It's ok BF we'll just put you down as an outsider......very outside!

Good thing I fetched me coat then innit.

 

I did enjoy the film though. Sexism just ain't what it used to be!

Salop fan in peace here.

 

Have you heard how many tickets you have been allocated yet and when they go onsale?

 

 

No news yet.  Have you got your ticket yet (I think they've only been on sale to ST holders so far haven't they?).
