Cheshire Senior Cup Final
« on: April 14, 2023, 11:42:58 AM »

I realise we won't know our opponents until next week (Tuesday night, I believe) but have we any idea of where the final will be played yet?
Or does it, to some extent, depend on who we end up playing?
It all seems very Heath Robinson to me.

Regardless of who wins the second Semi they are both very South Cheshire so wouldn’t necessarily alter any decisions about the venue. I’ve heard Crewe (whether they get to the final or not) is the leading contender but sure it will all come out by this time next week.

You may well be right.
My own guess would be Nantwich.
As you say, it's likely to be next week before we're any wiser.

I would host the game at the lowest ranked Semi-Final team. Gives time to plan, but rewards clubs who take it seriously.

That's a pretty good idea, Hashtag, but much too sensible for the Blazers I would have thought.
I think it's likely to be where they're assured the best bunfight and, taking that into consideration, perhaps Crewe isn't such a bad shout after all. 🤔

I'd also make all ties at the lowest ranked team; I've not enjoyed this season (bar the cups) so runs to Sandbach and Runcorn have been nice.

Better watch myself. I seem to be agreeing with your comments quite a lot recently! 😊

Careful, you might have Nigel and his bodyguard threatening you, threatening to sue who, and grabbing you a game.

I think that's what I was suggesting and I think you're absolutely right.
