Doesn't exactly roll of the tongue does it.  At least Carling, Milk and others did.

The Rumbalows cup was a bit of a mouth full though.

I like the sound of the COC Cup, it's a funny name and also describes the FA quite well also.

Ipswich Town away please!

Other potentials include Stevenage, Watford, Peterborough and Birmingham (all away).


Title: Re: Renamed League Cup
Post by: TheMajorSTFC on Wednesday, June 13, 2012, 20:19:06
Wouldn't mind Birmingham away to be honest, but a local derby wouldn't go amiss considering we don't have one in the league this season!

Bristol City away.

Knowing my luck we'll get a cup run going and draw Newcastle away at some point in 2012/13.

You're safe Sugg. Plymouth and the Devon teams aren't seeded. Neither are we.

I'll take Cardiff or Brighton away. Purely for sad anorak type reasons. New grounds!

Not possible, seeded draw and like them, we're seen as a minnow by the wider football world.

It's purely down to league placings last year that's all. As we were in league two (and despite finishing top) we were never going to be seeded.

That will be a good test for us, see just how far we have come.


Title: Re: Renamed League Cup
Post by: Barry Scott on Thursday, June 14, 2012, 09:05:49
Good draw. An attacking and open side (us - obviously) against a defensive and negative side. It could make a great game, as we both play football, but I can see it being a 1-0 with The Gus Bus being parked for large periods.


Title: Re: Renamed League Cup

Surely got to be £10 a ticket...especially with it being on TV!...Has all the makings to be a good game

p.s-Spooky but again we get another team playing in Blue & White (last season Hudders, Col U, Wigan, Leicester) is this another sign?
