The impact on the league is minimal. One league game to be rescheduled, the last game before Christmas, which means we'll be the team with a game in hand for some time after. We can always bring the rescheduled game forward if necessary.
The gain is another trophy, another title, and another badge to put on the shirt for the following 12 months.
We will put our strongest team out there, as we should. It's not the third round of the cup at home v Grimsby, it's against the best the rest of the world can offer, whatever quality that best is. The European team usually wins this, so take it seriously and it's a banker to put another major trophy in the cabinet. For the first time in our case.
