Tuesday 13 August. 

7:45 kick off. 

Guess the big question is play the kids or go for a bit more consistency? Anybody know Phil's history with cup competitions? 

Hopefully one or two of the squad will get minutes under their belt to build fitness. 

BOOOOO!

Ban him! Ban him! Ban him! Ban him!

What a diabolical liberty! There goes our unbeaten run ?

Is this game being shown on TV or streamed anywhere? Doesn't look to be on RamsTV, and the fixture's got the Pitch International symbol next to it on the website, but I don't know who exactly is showing it.

ESPN+   so on computer  (4.99) per  month, and you get every game when they are

shown live on sky!

I wander if some Derby fans sneak in the home ends if there struggling sell theres.

Derby have said that even though they have sold the full allocation they will ask Scunthorpe about the possibility of further tickets.

[Ambitious]

The right back situation looks rough, but it will be a good chance to get some of the players looking for fitness into the side: Roos; Lowe, Keogh, Clarke, Malone; Bielik, Shinnie, Dowell; Bennett, Marriott, Paterson.

Bateman could well fill in at RB and Lowe gets a chance at LB. We need to hope that Bogle’s injury isn’t too bad, otherwise we may want to look at a free agent coming in for a few months, assuming Wisdom isn’t close to fitness. 

[Sparkle]

Martin and Marriott definitely need to play as 2nd and 3rd choice forwards Shinnie needs a game as does Davies, Bogle is injured so Anya needs to start and if things are going well Bateman could get some real game time 

[Steve How Hard?]

Worth trying one or two of youngsters. Pretty sure that Bogle was thrown in against Oldham in this very same cup competition last year and that didn't turn out too bad. 

[angieram]

Interesting dilemma regarding the youngsters as the Under 23s also play Chelsea at Pride Park tomorrow evening, when we will want to put out a strong team.

Should have deleted the thread. Everyone knows the rules. It's the same on every forum. Extraordinary behaviour from @Rample.

Sold out good effort ?

Plan B

The Iron's restaurant will be open ahead of the Iron’s home Carabao Cup first round clash against Derby County on Tuesday, August 13th (7.45pm kick-off).

We have a choice of three pies on offer for the tie with the Rams, with a two-course package available for the game.

For the full package, including a hospitality seat, adults will be paying just £29.50 adults, £25.50 seniors and £19.50 for Under-18s.

To book a space in the restaurant for this game, call 01724 747684 or email sales@scunthorpe-united.co.uk.

Sit down job of pie, mash, peas and a pudding  with proper metal knives and forks and them napkin thingys plus a ticket for less than £30 .....................seems reasonable!

They are currently bottom of League Two @RadioactiveWaste.
