Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

I predict West Brom away

I would like. Everton away or Leeds away..

To be honest I wouldn't want any of those at home...

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

They'd all be great away draws, but seriously, I don't want a home match.

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

I still fancy Wigan but any of them should be good for the club but
I'm predicting QPR at Stanley

edit - matches played Week commencing September 18th so i'm hoping it's played Mon Tue or Sat as i'm on shift Wed Thu Fri :)

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

But it would be great to humble the Everton bitters at FES. :D

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

any local teams away would be great

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

I would think if you want to get some money in then Villa away would probably be the best option while the O'Neill factor is still pretty new.

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

Historically, the early rounds of the Carling cup are not well supported, so I have to agree with Villa connection, although personally I would prefer Wigan or Middlesborough

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

The villa angle does have a thingy... But I reckon the folk of Everton would show an interest and would be a decent crowd.... Leeds is just an awesome ground if you walk in the right entrance... low down , near half way and opposite the lurpack stand.. forget the silly name...its a truly awesome sight if you do the above..


My only visit to leeds utd was for an England v Italy game and I entered the ground as above.. all I could see was a wall of seats... I couldnt see anything else... other grounds you see a large stand.. floodlights, skyline or wahtever takes your eye... but there it was seats only as far as your eye could see when looking forward.. ie left right up down.... it was amazing..


same night one other amazing sight i wont forget.... had me laughing :) Check out the dopey burnley fan.. money well spent or what :)

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

we have drawn watford away from home :)

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

crap draw

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

Cant say I was overjoyed at the draw either :(

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

Its a midweek tie so i can't see us taking more than 100/200 :(

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

I told em prob 300 on there MB .. we have a good few down there dont forget.. I would say 300-400

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

bloody hell draw a premiership team and we are all gutted :rolleyes:

we could have got southend! :)

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

But we didn't we got watford.. and considering the seeding we did get the low end of the list..

It's a premiership team that ....well... the chances of us wining there are slim.. would rather everton, man city, leeds or summat ... watford isnt even interesting...

Apologies to any watford fans reading :)

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

yeh i know but should still be a good day out, and the dream is still there....hopefully they will field a weaker side and we can push them through to penatlies and win :)

or am i being to optamisitic?

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

At least it would've been a day out at the seaside:p

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

What does it matter we play Watford we are in this round because we beat Forest. It will be a good day if we make it a good day so if you're going please make some noise and let Watford know we are there.

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

Get your day off booked now & join us in the loudest rendition of "Stanley R Back" ever heard.................

Re: Carling cup - Great news
 

It should be a reasonable gate at Watford. Last season they were at home to Notts County and the gate was 7011 (333 away fans). The season before they were at home to Cambridge and the gate was 6558 (530 away fans).
