Oxford United at home! As dull of a draw as we could of got. Friday night too so will be hardly anyone there!

 

[JJ1532]

Rotherham at home. Dull, check. Guaranteed exit, check. Just a typical first round draw for us.

 

[LongEatonPie]

Still hate Bristol Rovers clap your hands.

 

[Indian Dan]

Away to Ben Dover. Cue another 1st round exit - 6 in a row.

 

[PaulHaddock]

Away to Plymouth, fuck that for a laugh. Not sure there was a worse draw for us.

 

[Son of Cod]

Plymouth away ffs.

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

Home to Heybridge Swifts.

Probably as winnable as it gets but I'm sure we'll find a way to mess it up.

 

[Fozzie's Headband]

Home to Pompey...nice #Nawty ;o)

 

[Chris FGR]

At home to a pub side. Well at least we might get a win for a change.

 

[Bosox]

Happy with Luton's draw, home to Portsmouth. Decent chance TV will pick it up to give us a bit of cash and also Pompey played Luton off the park twice last season so it will be a nice test of how far Luton have progressed since then.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Shaw lane Away can't complain about that I would imagine all the Tv games will involve a Non League side so definately a good chance of it being televised

 

[dedwardp]

Can't complain with Oxford City at home, sure we'll make hard work of it though.

 

[LongEatonPie]

Id imagine Hyde v MK Dons, Shaw Lane AFC v Mansfield and Boreham Wood v Blackpool

 

[Kenneth E End]

Happy with Luton's draw, home to Portsmouth. Decent chance TV will pick it up to give us a bit of cash and also Pompey played Luton off the park twice last season so it will be a nice test of how far Luton have progressed since then.

I like this draw too. Should be a good crowd too hopefully.
They hardly played us off the park at Fratton Park last season.

 

[cufc17]

Oldham at home, not a great draw or exciting but winnable.

 

[AdamStag]

Shaw lane is certainly a good deal for us. Should be at the very least one of the highlighted games.

Like him or loathe him, the media will be interested in steve evans

100% certain it will be televised.

 

[GTFCfish]

Bizarre statement, does ANYBODY like him?

 

[AdamStag]

Bizarre statement, does ANYBODY like him?

Course they do. And that odd notts county fan who wanks over us all the time obviously does.

Would be good to be on tv, glad we didn't get a crap draw, like Chesterfield did at Bradford hah

 

[Luke Imp]

Meh.

Will be our first meeting with AFCW. They got promoted to the FL the season we got relegated.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Meh.

Will be our first meeting with AFCW. They got promoted to the FL the season we got relegated.

You haven't been missing much. At least in the Cup they might have to give you a few more tickets than just those on that terrible stand at the side.

 

[Laker]

Home to Sutton. Potential banana skin but we have to be happy with that.

Incidentally this will be our eleventh home cup tie in a row. Matches a record held by Luton apparently.

 

[TimeyWimey]

Rotherham at home. Dull, check. Guaranteed exit, check. Just a typical first round draw for us.

Ugh. We just need to stop entering this competition, complete waste of everybody's time.

[shoddycollins]

Oldham at home suits me down to the ground, normally I'd want a non-league at home but then there's a chance it could be televised and mess up my weekend plans, not a chance in hell Carlisle v Oldham will be picked for the telly... also winnable, we like beating League One teams in cups, so let's have at it.

 

[jolua]

Home to Nantwich or Kettering.

Easy win on paper against either of those, so that's us out then.

 

[redjed]

Ahhhh well, dreams and gut feeling completely wrong, tenner down the drain, could have been a nice result, got 75 to 1 on the bet.
Dartford away, meh, we like going out to non-league sides, Eastleigh last season..... but our away form is pretty decent..... but will not be surprised if they turn us over!

 

[FGR Stroud]

At home to a pub side. Well at least we might get a win for a change.

Oh I hate it when you say something like that Chris.
Almost a certain guarantee that FGR will end up with egg on their face.
Remember Jon Parkin no longer plays for club and we don't seem to have anybody who can score from half way line, let along in the box.
