Carabao cup thread

Plymouth away for the second time in 6 years, last time their fireworks festival drove the prices of all the hotels up and nearly all the hotels in Plymouth were taken. My mate and I had to split £160 each to stay in the Jurys Inn - Literally no other options.

I remember to this day the receptionist asking us "Here for the Fireworks?" - with me replying "Fireworks?! We're here to watch Plymouth Argyle v Orient in the football" Which left her totally bemused.

And now we have to go there twice on a Tuesday in 8 weeks.

EFL I've missed you

Oh and now I really hate fireworks..............................

Really annoyed that we've got Tuesday night fixtures. Was very keen to make my first trip to Orient this season. Severe lack of other London fixtures in this league now. Stevenage will have to do.

Its not winnable If we play our full strength team we would smash you and you know that. Remember we got to the semis last year.
However, i think clough will rotate here so it may in truth turn out to be winnable for you if we play the kids.

Back in your box, Brewers. Not so long ago you turned up at VP and got smashed 7-1. Fair play though, you bought 900 at a tenner a ticket which is exceptional for you. Not quite the 2000 or so we bring to you every time but decent for a traditional non-league outfit.

We got Boro away in the 1st round. No chance of progression but atleast we've not been there in a while.

I wouldn't say there is no chance of progression. Woodgate will do what all higher placed managers do and rest most of his big names. We knocked Sheff Utd out and took Blackburn all the way a couple of seasons ago. We usually show up in these games and playing at the Riverside is a nice thing for our players. Reckon we'll take a few up there as well, as I can't see many of the other early away trips appealing to the more casual travelling fans.

I'm happy with that draw.

Let me guess.. Still got your "I was there" t shirt? The day we won 7-1 eh.
Never let it be said Vale fans are living in the past. We have spanked you 4-0 at your place since then.
Whilst you are reminiscing over that night we dusted ourselves down, won the league two title, league one runners up, 2 championship seasons, a top 10 finish in league one last year and a efl semi final. Not bad for a non league outfit is it.
Never look back.. Keep looking forward that's our motto.
I will get back in my box now while you watch your you tube clips of Lee Hughes scoring against us 6 years ago.

Cute. All that 'success' and you've failed to grow your fanbase beyond the hardcore 2000. What a shame.

Colchester United away for us.

I don't think either side will be exactly over the moon with the draw.

You have got me on that one. We cannot grow on 2500 hard core plus 2000 fair weather fans. Obviously no appetite in the town for going.

Sorry pal but every game is ‘winnable’ no matter how unlikely that may be.
Your coming across as a bit of a cock there to be honest.

Have we found Devonlad!

So disgruntled that Exeter’s already sealed place in league one didn’t materialise he went there anyway and took a fancy to Burton!

You are the next decade’s Yeovil. Enjoy!

Surprise! Salford’s game against Leeds has been chosen for the tele.

Well it was never going to be us v Donny was it?

 

[Conker]

I’ve already had enough of the Salford bumfest it’s so predictably boring.

 

[Si Robin]

Salford at home to Leeds makes sense - the smallest team in the draw against arguably the biggest. If any other team was promoted and drew Leeds at home I'd expect them to the be on.

The issue is Salford being live on the Saturday before.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Salford v Stevenage is a two teams that I couldn't give less of a fuck about. Unless any of us are the tele the only fans who care are our own and those of the other team.

Fuck Salford, Fuck Sky and fuck Nicky Butt

 

[RebornKirtonRed]

Trip to St Andrews for us to play Cov.

Can’t remember what happened the last time we played them.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Well and truly shafted before we even got on the pitch

 

[Son of Cod]

Absolutely raging that Burton aren't on Sky. Do they even know they finished 9th in L1 last season?
