Chelsea date now confirmed as Tuesday 24th September

It's a nonsense article - they've already ring fenced some money (the £1,000) as a reward for getting this draw with the additional income it brings. It'll get paid out with all the standard bonuses when we exit the competition. We've obviously got a £250 standard bonus for every round we get through. It's the way it has been interpreted makes a nice click bait article as if we are paying less for winning than losing, where in reality the £1,000 is already in the bank and they'd get an additional £250 for winning.

Thank you for the information Arvo.

No problem. Another possible route into central London that that just occurred to me and that would avoid the crush at Fulham Broadway is to get a bus (28 or 306 from bus stop H on Harwood Road) to West Kensington tube station and then pick up the District line from there. Since that's on the other branch of the line you shouldn't have any problem getting a seat. Drawbacks, however, are that those first buses after the match are likely to be pretty crammed themselves and it would add a little bit of time to the journey. How much depends on how long you have to wait for a bus, which is never really estimable although Citymapper is a good app that will tell you when the next one is due.

Getting the tube at West Kensington ( platform 2) you have to get the district line (green) to Upminster but get off early (non stop) at Earl's Court, then get the district line (green) (platform 3 ) to Wimbledon but get off early (2 stops) at Fulham Broadway. Hope this helps someone.

2400 away fans in midweek is impressive, always a good day when you play a footballing giant in the cup.

If one does not have Sky, is it possible to watch the game on TV. Is it on the NOW channel?

If you live in the Barrow area a trip a local hostelry is probably your best bet!

Yes, go to the NOW TV web site and buy a day pass (£14.99)

Cheers, Tallow. A generous comment from a Carlisle supporter.

Thanks. I think NOW TV is part of my BT/EE Tv package. I will check.

Be watching this one here in Portugal, gutted I can't make the game itself

Great effort for a Tuesday night as others have said, always great to see the bluebirds out in numbers AND we always do well in the capital on the big game stage
