Those four loop fixtures are a knock on effect of finishing in the bottom four this year (two top-four sides plus two mid-four sides). We're continuing to pay the price for being so bad in 2024.
It's another obstacle we have to work through next year as we start the road back to respectability.

[quote="mwindass":op2a18n4]Wonder if York Acorn get through the tie will be played at York community stadium. Could Oulton play at Hunslets ground too?[/quote:op2a18n4] Double header with Rovers & York!?

[quote="Steve0":10q0d9cv]Double header with Rovers & York!?[/quote:10q0d9cv] We wouldn’t be able to take any fans there, as Rovers will sell out their usual 100,000 ticket allocation.

I like a amateur team We have injuries from training never mind playing York in the Cup like dobbins will be and having to put out a strong team I like the idea of resting players even at this stage

[quote="Steve0":2qw2te5r]Double header with Rovers & York!?[/quote:2qw2te5r] not a chance, their fans (kr) can't be trusted.

Do we use first teamers in the cup to give them match fitness, but risk injury, or do we go with the Reserves? Difficult one
