We've had some decent games in recent years, beating QPR away and taking Liverpool and Derby to penalties. Leeds or Sunderland would probably draw the largest crowd so I'd like either of them at home.

Any particular fancies?

1 new ground amongst that lot so I hope we get Blackburn away in that case.

Yeah I think Sunderland at home is the obvious one we would want. I'm sure Leeds would draw a big crowd but I don't really see them as that big a club myself anymore, not played in the Premiership for yonks. Also there would inevitably be trouble and a toxic atmosphere if Leeds came to town.

 

[Cornish Piskie]

This competition has never been a strong point of Charlton's. The best we've ever achieved is Round 4, and only then on about half a dozen occasions.

Thailand seems to be an odd place to be holding the draw. I'm sure there is a sound commercial reason for this that has absolutely nothing to do with football.

But it's not the first time the draw has been conducted outside of England. Donald Trump was persuaded by ITV to conduct the draw for Round 5 in 1991 / 92 season on Saint and Greavsie. The draw was held in Trump Tower and the first tie he drew was Leeds vs Manchester United. Two clubs whose fans were not very friendly at that time (still aren't.) Jimmy Greaves said "Ohhhh, Donald. You have no idea what you've just done."

He was right.

Blackburns ground is fantastic too, I went when we played there when Dalglish was manager the year they got promoted to the Prem.

 

[GTFCfish]

Barnsley, Bradford, Leeds, Rotherham, Scunny, Sheff Utd or Sheffield Wed away please.

So we will probably end up away at Rochdale, Fleetwood or Burton!

 

[Big Bird]

Bristol City/Rovers or Oxford home would be decent. Not going to win the thing so may as well get a tasty fixture out of it.

 

[Chris FGR]

Would quite like Villa tbh, reckon we could beat them as well.

 

[Aber gas]

Swindon, Newport or FGR would be fine.

 

[JJ1532]

Very few enticing away draws in that lot. For that reason, a home game would be preferred.

 

[Greenacres]

Wolves or MK Dons at home as I think they are the only teams in the Southern seeds that I have never seen play before.

 

[Son of Cod]

Why have 'ull Targers managed to wriggle out of this? For finishing 18th?

 

[hellogregory]

Why the fuck is it live from Thailand?

 

[Ban Fat Stan]

Apart from Villa away as a Barnet fan getting drawn away to any of the sides means playing in front of rows of empty seats in huge grounds.

Best we can hope is a home draw.... We will end up away at Cardiff in front of 3,000!

 

[Balls Of An Ox]

I'm only interest if our first game gets played in Thailand...all expenses payed of course

 

[Big Bird]

Everyone knows Thailand is the home of football mate.

Call yourself a fan.

 

[valefan16]

Forest, Derby or Leeds otherwise meh

[Balls Of An Ox]

We'll get knocked out in the 1st round...standard...

 

[dedwardp]

Villa away would be my choice if I could pick one.

 

[Tom_CUFC]

1. Peterborough home
2. Peterborough away
3. Meh

 

[Crewelad87]

Sunderland or Leeds at Home

Otherwise someone beatable Fleetwood, Rochdale or Scunthorpe at home.

Live from Thailand.

You'd be lucky if the fa trophy in non-league was drawn in someone's back shed!

 

[AdamStag]

Was going to say villa but then realised they were in the soft side of the draw.

As for the proper side, I'll go somewhere close to Manchester like Rochdale

 

[Luke Imp]

I can't hardly contain my excitement for this draw.

Went up in the world the last couple of years.

Streamed live on Perisope from Wembley!

Not sure if that is ironic or not?

I know last year we were drawn away to Derby and it brought a realism to fact that we were no longer a non league club and that we went straight into draws with other league teams.

Such a good feeling.
