Alliance Cup tie gets Friday date

The game will kick off at 2:00 p.m. at the training ground with the winners playing either Hull City or Wigan Athletic in the Northern Final. In the south the semi-finals are Colchester v QPR and Brighton v Brentford with the eventual winners of the two regions meeting in the final.

QPR are the side to look out for in the south, they lead their league and are unbeaten all season. They have won 15 and drawn 2 of their 17 games to date.

Burnley have just the one league game at Walsall this Saturday before the cup tie against Hartlepool and should we win we'll have less than 24 hours to wait to determine who our next opponents will be. Hull and Wigan meet at Hull's Centre of Excellence HQ at noon on the Saturday.
