I hope you're right but I think he will do the same as any other manager and play a weakened team.

Not sure mate. He always put out decent teams in the cup - so did City - probably because of the size of their squads, but I always got the impression they took it seriously.
By the time this fixture comes around, we will probably know if we can fight for top 4 or not. I assume the answer will be yes but not certain, so it will make it tricky imo to fight on three fronts. However, top 4 is not like a title race, so in theory he could just go balls to the wall in every competition until we are out of one.
I'd rather we were nowhere near the Europa League and won a trophy, but right now we are probably on for 5th and a losing final or semi-final of some description. I think you have to take it seriously because even if you play to win only the Champions League it isn't always a fair competition.

I’m guessing if it involves cash the club wouldn’t be interested regardless of what the trust say

Was there for the 2-1 game in 2016 - which was my first trip to Boro since the 88/89 season.
Although still not particularly inviting, the area has got better over the years.
Went on the Transporter Bridge - which was actually rather interesting.
I think there’s a get out of jail free card for that rule though. Something about crowd safety, segregation, persistent standing, etc.
Woolwich only gave Man U 5,000 last year and I doubt that we’d give 9,000 either tbh. Expect around 3,000 and the usual 300 point or so cut-off for this one.
Went years back to what was basically a UEFA Cup qualification play off, winner got 5th. We lost 1-0 and there was the mother of all hail storms on the walk back through industrial wasteland to the train station. Was on my own and sat down on the train next to Antony Gardners agent who was on the phone to him. Doubt anyone will have difficulty getting a ticket for this one, would encourage everyone to apply to their own points.
....and by the time this fixture comes around, I don't expect Woodgate to still be in charge of 'Boro!
Take this competition seriously, and we have a GENUINE chance!
I was there for the 5-1 as well. Shittiest place I have ever been in my life - walking to the ground, it was like some godforsaken desolate nuclear wasteland out of a Mad Max movie. Fucking awful - made N17 look like Mayfair in comparison.
Luckily my mates and I stayed in Durham for the weekend - back in the days when we could just about get away with pretending to be students still and paid about £1 a drink in all the student bars.
I quite fancy this one.
What’s the capacity up there?

Anyone remember 8-0 against Gornik?
Was there for the 9-0 v Keflavik and the 8-0 v Drogheda.
Think Gornik was 8-1...
You're probably right. I'm old and obviously showing signs of early onset Dementia.
Just saw that West Ham have to go to Gillingham. Only one winner there.
