We've only played them twice at Oakwell in the past 8 years and it's still the summer holiday. I'd hope our ends will be busy with us giving them 5,000.
At one time the competition was highly valued from the early rounds. If I remember rightly prices only came down when sides took it less seriously till the latter stages. I reckon both sides will name decent teams if only for bragging rights for the fans especially ours. We turned out a very good team/squad against Wigan, (far better than we turned out in previous seasons) I expect more so for this game.
