League Cup 1st Round Draw - Was Drawn Today 1PM

[TractorBoys]

Who'd ya get and are you happy?

Stevenage at home for us, fucking Stevenage, every year!!

 

[mossypne]

Not happy at all... we were 1 away from Blackpool away.

 

[MJA]

Carlisle away, in terms of distance for a midweek game it's shit but then again we could have ended up away at somewhere like Luton

 

[hodge]

Away to Wycombe... meh, standard first round shit draw for us.

 

[les.gtfc]

Derby away for us. Decent draw, though to be honest I'd have been happy with anyone rather than bloody Chasetown or Coalville.

We've actually won every time we've played at Pride Park. Ok, so we've only played there twice but we won 3-1 there on Boxing Day 2002 in the league, and then won 1-0 in The League Cup in 2005. Would be nice to make it a hat-trick.

Fucking Luton!

I said the only game I wouldn't fancy away from home was Cambridge United who somehow are in the Northern section of the draw, so obviously that's the draw we get. All games at this stage are very winnable for us so can't even big it up a bit with that, it's a long way to go for a 1st round League Cup game, but it's a new stadium for me and something a bit different.

Plymouth at home. Thrilling. At least it won't be more than a tenner.

 

[GTFCfish]

Plymouth at home. Thrilling.

I'm sure Plymouth fans are thinking exactly the same to be honest.

I'm sure Plymouth fans are thinking exactly the same to be honest.

Wouldn't blame them if they were.

Uwe Rosler's cods to batter Leeds on Wednesday?

Uwe Rosler's cods to batter Leeds on Wednesday?

I'll keep my fingers crossed for Uwe's new team.

****************************************

Wolves vs Crawley

Thank God it's not Chorley (this year is the 30th Anniversary of the infamous match in the FA Cup)

 

[Haillay7]

I've just noticed Villa are amongst tonight's teams. After looking it up, 22 of the 24 Championship teams are involved in the first round. I always thought that relegated teams from the Prem weren't drawn until the second round, has this changed?

 

[JaseTheVillain]

20th is always shoved in the 1st round, 19th and 18th get 2nd.

 

[You Orns]

Gillingham at home. Our inevitable exit is at home rather than at least providing me with a new away ground. Crap draw.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

That is all.
