This thread is far more exciting. I think we will get away to Burton in the League Cup following an away to Rochdale opening League fixture.

What ball number are we or is it done by computer? Can we get a live stream of the draw to make sure it's not fixed?

A glamour local derby for Saints, home to Bournemouth. And since when are Notts County a Southern side?

Shit draw for us. At least it's very winnable tho.

Oxford will be well chuffed. Loads of police out for that one!!

Why do they do the draw in such a way that championship sides cannot face each other, surely that's biased towards the 'bigger' teams

Depends which way you look at it - there's more chance of a lower league club playing a championship side.

Yeah it is, but that's how a seeding system works. Not convinced they should be doing it like this though.

Is round 2 also seeded?

At least it isnt Orient away, we dont need any little cunts trying to set their ground of fire again and we certainly dont need to try and play our passing game on their shit pitch any more than we have to.

Meh

Meh doubled. Is that a 'sigh'?

That'll do me... home tie against a side that tries to play football and we should beat.

Meh, don't mind that draw. As long as we win of course.

Post by: Rich Pullen on Wednesday, June 16, 2010, 11:00:34
That'll do. Orient fans will feel just as underwhelmed as our majority. Important thing is we're at home.

It was last season.

Home game'll do for me.

That was my thinking, I would say it gives an unfair advantage as you would expect a championship team to beat a L1 or L2 team usually, so by rights all Championship clubs should get through to the next round and a chance to earn more with the lower league teams knocked out in R1 hot having that opportunity as it is not a level playing field, it should be an open draw for anyone to draw anyone.
