FA Cup 2nd round match scheduled for Friday night

County’s FA Cup second round match at home to Wycombe Wanderers has been confirmed as taking place on Friday 1st December with a 7:45 pm kick off. The game has been bought forward by 24 hours to a Friday night as those loveable rogues Sale Sharks have a Thugby match on the Saturday.

The FA Cup second round matches are due to be played over the weekend of the 1st December and as Sale are scheduled to play Llanelli Scarlets in the EDF Energy Cup on Saturday 2nd December our game against Wycombe has been fixtured for the Friday night.

I’m sure all the Wycombe fans who were planning to come to the game are delighted at the prospect of having to book time off to get to the game.

The FA Cup third round ties are due to be played on Saturday 6th January and Sharks are fixtured at home to Gloucester on that day so we face a similar problem if we manage to see off the threat of Wycombe and are drawn at home in round three.
