Hoping for a 'kind' draw because I'm not certain that we'll have either Cooper or Havard back by then. I know that Walters definitely won't be back but If both of the others were fit I'd not be worried about who we get.

Yes, can't complain about that.

We got revenge against Sheffield for 1998, now for 1970!

I went from Yorkshire to Wembley on my BSA 250 Barracuda that year. Hadn't passed my test so I went on the A1. The clutch was dodgy and got worse, so I came back on the M1. Got stopped by police and ended up with a 3 month ban - no L-plates, driving on motorway with provisional licence etc.

I'll particularly enjoy beating Cas and wiping out memories of by far the two worst final experiences I've ever had. Then I can die happy!

And at 21.45 no details of the draw on BBC web-site. Lip service again.
