Scum at home please.

This.

Or Exeter away for distance reasons for me.

 There's a few of the smaller clubs in there which wouldn't be a bad draw....the likes of Luton, Newport, and Cambridge we haven't played for ages....Coventry and Pompey, still names even though currently struggling.

 I'd like Cheltnumb away....I want to see us win there, something I've yet to do.

AFC Wimbledon, Southend or Dag & Redbridge away suits me.

If we don't get the yellow piss then I'll take Newport away as I've never been there. Bollocks to Luton though.

Oxford United, home. We need to try and put it right.

Scum away. Put it right on their turf. They can't win all their cup finals.

....or away.  Either really.  It was the only real blot in PDC's STFC copybook!  Something I'll never forgive him for.

I quite like Wycombe as an away day, I wouldn't mind a journey there.

Alternativly Cheltenham away or the Pox.

If you ignore the profligate spending, the breaking up of the Black/Wray/Fitton ownership consortium, "erratic" man management, flouncing out etc etc etc ....

That was sanctioned by Wray who did no wrong in many people's eyes. PDC wouldn't have been doing his job properly if he wasn't banging the chairmans door for funds on a daily basis. It wasn't his fault Wray didn't have the bollocks to say no.

Do really need to revisit this?

No, we don't!  My post was about his record on the pitch - specifically his P3 W0 D0 L3 record against the scummers.

Only when an innacurate post needs clearing up!!! I'm all for looking to the future  :D

It's been a while now since the last argument. It'll eventually die out entirely by about 2020

I appreciate that we've been starved of information of late but if someone doesn't nip it in the bud quickly then a thread about the Capital One Cup draw becomes the age old to-and-fro.

No it doesn't.

Oh yes it does!

Is he behind you?

Oooh, scary thought! Let's sing a little song to keep our spirits up!

Who's the dame in this situation?

Draw takes place in 10 mins.

Not sure if its screened anywhere live though, it is often on Sky Sports News but as I don't subscribe I have no idea.

Away to league newcomers Luton Town.

Should be a decent crowd.

Yay! I like sitting with my knees around my neck.

New ground for me, so will probably make the trip!

45 minutes from Blackfriars, thing I'll go to this one.

What date is it?

Is this likely to sell out? I live in Hitchin.  :toocool:

Ties to be played week commencing 11th August 2014.

Cheers Pete. I knew I had it somewhere but couldn't find it!

Ours is one of the more interesting ties there the other being Brum vs Cambridge and MKD vs the real Dons.

I think they normally show 1 or 2 games on Sky don't they in the 1st round? Brum will probably be one of them maybe we could nab the 2nd game if there is indeed 2 live games shown?

Franchise v real dons game will be one.

and with that draw Jed has tossed himself off to the point of no return

Only IF he returns to the club after the court case in 2 weeks time.

Whoop. nice easy one for me.

On the Luton Outlaws forum they are underwhelmed by the prospect of us.

A fairly close game (in the great scheme of things), at home, against a team that finished last season 63 places higher in the league table....it appears they have very high opinions of themselves.

Swindon Town fans are perennially underwhelmed for these things and considering that we were within a pot with far better sides, anyone who supports a League Two team would be disappointed to have our wonderful ragtag bunch of misfts coming to town.

In Conclusion: Don't take it so personally Venkman ;)

Absolutely no chance.

Interesting draw, i think there is an excellent chance this gets on the tellybox with Franchise/AFC.  Not sure Brum/Cambridge is that interesting as its at St Andrews, other way round and it would have been more appealing than our game.

I not been there since the Simod defeat, maybe its time for a return.
Unless its on the tele

Yeah that was the last time I went there, bet it hasn't changed a bit.

There is some sort of weird bus on a track thing now and they dug up the road outside KR. I have no idea if they ever replaced it.

Me too, and have no urge to go back to that poxy ground.

You mean tram?

Oh I take no offence from it at all I was just wondering who they may have thought was a much bigger draw to them, thats all :)

Nah man, it's an actual bus, bot on a fucked up road thing.

Couldn't be a worse tie.

Fucking hate Luton with a passion and the place is such a shithole it makes Swindon look like Monaco.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure if I dont detest them more than Oxford.

Place needs wiping off the face of the earth

#ROAR FFs  :suicide:

The only tie between 2 former winners of the LC. Paul Benson  :(

A guided busway in fact opened in April I recall. Good tie for me, 2245 bus home but hate the ground and the non existent leg room!

Any chance of just standing? Or is there no leg room for standing up either?

Where do the buses go from/to? I'm up near the Sir John Barleycorn.

More like 40, surely.

My first ever away game was at Luton. Actually attended with the above poster!

Thanks for the lift btw

I had to look up what a guided busway was.

The fuck?

I see Sky announced the live games.

Carlisle v Derby
Coventry v Cardiff

Boring.

Luton Game is £20 and they sold over 5200 season tickets.

That's a decent return. They're a bit like Oxford, shit crowds until they got to the Conference, and as soon as they see what winning is like again they all came back. Although Oxfords have all pissed off again.

Can see Luton going up again.
