Re: Policy on taking babies on Turf Moor
Took my son at 3 ISH to a pre-season game, thinking a quiet introduction.
Ended up sleeping most of the 1st half. And was the notorious German game called off at half time, so he saw pretty much nothing.

Re: Cup finals clash
realistically you'd fancy wolves over Coventry, and Leicester have a chance at Chelsea, but under 50%. Even if they both won, they'd be joined in the semi-finals by City & Liverpool/ Utd. They'd likely lose to either, and if drawn against each other, Leicester would be favourites, who should be prom...

looks like we have a 50/50 chance of a 'lower' team to play, so as long as we get a good draw, we'd stand a chance home or away with these.
Not sure if an away leg against a bigger team, with the prospect of a morale sapping heavy defeat, would help the cause, but there's always hope
