They will never do that!

Looking online it seems either staggered kick offs - one 5:45 then next 8:15 or reversing one of the ties. Would make sense to switch the Chelsea/Luton game to Kenilworth Road.

I can confirm that Chelsea and Fulham cannot play the same night due to police advice. One will move to the next week.

If the Burton game gets moved I’ll be gutted as I’m off the Tues & Weds and booked the hotel, I hate Sky so much, already can’t go to Plymouth & Franchise games because they moved them 😩

Perhaps we should play our game at the Cottage at 2pm? After all, both sets of fans work from home...

Chelsea game is likely to get 40,000 and ours about 12,000, given that police resources will be stretched by the Notting Hill carnival it would make sense for Chelsea to move

I thought we were all supposed to be Fulham season ticket holders by now?

If both games are on the Thursday, they may stagger the kick-off times as they usually do for midweek PL match windows

CW - But Chelsea play Luton and Luton also have a league game scheduled for 1st Sep (full EFL midweek fixture list)

Graham t-Chelsea would have to move as they have no game the following midweek whereas we do at Burton

Graham T - so inept, surely they could have foreseen this issue arising. Chelsea vs Luton will be a worry for police as well.

Last years league cup second round attendance - Fulham v Bristol city - 11749

Not sure if Chelsea and Fulham playing at home on same night would happen so potentially looking at one of the ties being put back to the following week (so Burton away potentially postponed). Seems like a rather contemptuous piece of Premier League fixture scheduling in the first instance to have put Chelsea v Fulham on Monday night for TV given the potential knock on effects of that

Silk - but not Caravan Cottage - where Gillingham should play perhaps?

That’ll have you flagged on a terrorist list somewhere CW

Don't see why we can't play at Foolham on the Wed. Not as if any players who play Monday will start on Wed. Rather unfair on Wigan fans who've booked Sat trains and Dons fans who've booked Burton trains for Tuesday. Foolham could always scratch!

Busy not bisulphate

Chelsea v Luton will have to be on Thursday 27th too so a bisulphate night on the tube

Wimbledon have been drawn against Fulham at Cravan Cottage in the second round of the Carabao Cup.

Or what CW said without getting Northern railway town opposition muddled up like I did

Decent draw albeit one which could have an annoying knock on effect on our fixture list. Fulham play Chelsea on TV on Monday 24/8 so we could potentially be looking at a Thursday night game, with Doncaster (H) on the Sat after and Burton (A) the following Tuesday both being pushed back a day accordingly

As Fulham are playing Chelsea on Monday 24th Aug our game will probably be on Thursday 27th and the Wigan game may have to move to the Sunday

Well that’s one I’ve been waiting for since I really believed we were gonna get back into the league. Fulham fans were the ones chanting “we’ll never play you again” back in 2001.

Fulham away in the FA Cup was a good day out until the game started.

Good draw.
