Date: Thursday, 25 August.
Kick-off: 7:45PM.
Referee: Graham Salisbury.
Scunthorpe united await the Magpies this Thursday night as the two sides meet at Glanford Park in the League Cup second round.
The match is scheduled for live broadcasting via Sky Sports 1, kick-off is at 7.45pm (BST). Graham Sailsbury is the man in the middle. Hopefully, Alan Parry won’t be Sky commentator for the game, simply because I find his voice annoying. We shall see…
The tie must finish on the night, with 30 minutes extra time to decide the match if the scores are still level after 90 minutes. If after extra time there is no winner, the game will be decided by penalties. We all love a good penalty shoot-out, don’t we?
You may remember our last visit to the Irons during our 2009-2010 championship season, where United lost the match 2-1. Kevin Nolan was on target for us that night. (more…)
