What a terrible year to draw Plymouth (a team that is local to a lot of R's fans so a highly desired fixture) when it will have to be behind closed doors.

Union Street is no longer like it was years ago but it still has a few clubs and pubs , its more for the youngsters and the matelots who head there when on shore leave.
matelots used to scrap with the PYF (plymouth youth firm) only time ive ever seen 101 blokes in fancy dress as 101 dalmations there was a takeaway there,you used to tap on the door at the side and say "anyone lost a fiver"big guy look you up and down and he will ask do you work for les or terry,he goes back in and then come back out, then let you in and a nice little gambling den at the back that is allegedly of course and many years ago,i started promoting after DJ work and it went very very wrong,got my brother to come and get me left everything behind even the bird i was living with to escape the whole scene,lost thousands in the end the club scene is very cut throat and not very profitable,unless you sold other things if you get what i mean,not for me
Our first round tie in the Carabao cup has been drawn and it's away to Plymouth. I will be there!
I thought of you stoatey as soon as I saw the draw! I am wondering if I can tie that game into a visit to see my daughter's family. As of 20:19 yesterday we have a second grandson born in Devon! We have yet to book a B&B but are travelling across to Plymouth next Wednesday for a week. If it works out OK I will use the same for the cup game. I might even get my eldest grandson to come along and shout for the Rs!

Big congratulations on the birth of your second Grandson, fantastic news for you and your family.
As pointed out by northwesthoop the disappointing news is that it will be behind closed doors because of the virus.

I'd like to echo this, congratulations kingfisher . Lovely news in a time when there is very little of it!
Thanks stoatey & northwesthoop for your kind words! We have had a couple of weeks we would rather have not had, and the birth did not go to plan (birth pool filled at home but complications led to hospital delivery after 12 hours of labour) so to finally get that good news was great! I must have still been on Cloud 9 though to have forgotten the match against Plymouth would be behind closed doors....
This cup tie at Plymouth will kick off at 12.30pm on Saturday 05 September - a week before the league season gets underway.
It is effectively going to be used as the last pre-season friendly by clubs this season.
I guess it could see teams fielding stronger teams than usual.
thats my take on it too. i can see both teams fielding near full strength squads but I doubt it will be full on tackles as the players will want to be ready for the season. Plymouth might win by just being more physical and our players may well shy away from challenges as its only a cup game.
