Isn't that the third year running Darlo have had a bye? :evil:

If it's a home bye then it'll still be one of their biggest crowds of the season.

this should be taken into account by the FL. They can't just keep giving byes to Darlo and Chesterfield

Well we all know the bigger clubs don't enter the competition until the later stages. Take the FA Cup for example. See if Pools actually had some trophies, like Darlo, then you'd be getting byes.

I remember a couple of years ago when Hutchy was boasting that you'd made the quarter finals....... after winning one game! Where is coco these days? He never seems to post.

LOL yeah, I remember that. :laugh:

Dunno where he is, last seen telling people that we were about to sign Andy Kirk, 1 day after he signed a 3 year contract at Dunfermline.

Doesn't the Conference one cancel out the Division Four one, though?

Also but isnt 10 years (give or take) of success (minus the scotty era) better than 17 in Division 4?
