Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

As Rob was saying yesterday, the most money to be made will be made from TV coverage. I'd go for Newcastle, Man City or Spurs at home for the best chance of that. Possible home match against one of the 2 neighbours may be an outside chance of being shown, depending on the rest of the draw.

At this stage they tend to look for the possible biggest upset rather than the best possible football match.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

none of the ones in red please

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Gee thanks Macca I was quite fancying Portsmouth away, nice to be able to walk to a game for once :) - Pompey at the Crown would be worth a punt for a home win, the club's in more chaos than Stanley with a Russian in the middle of selling it to an Arab, no signings all summer and the semi-stars they did have all offloaded.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

alright then, you've persuaded me - I'll accept Pompey but only at home!

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Bet we get QPR away. And it rains.

;)

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

At least we would have a roof over our heads,unlike the Walsall fans last night.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

I either want to hit a team like Newcastle or get a team who we could beat then draw any of the top 4.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Man City at Eastlands could be quite tasty:)

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

:) Stoke city at home would do:)

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

I'd go for Man City, guaranteed to be on telly, and winnable for us. the "superstars" won't play as a team.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Bet it'll be Sunerland Away:confused:

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

I think it will be away at one of these..... swansea,cardiff or ipswich dont know why just a feeling

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

I'd settle for from any of Man City, Newcastle, Sunderland or Blackburn away....in that order.:rolleyes:

Or to be a little greedier.....a "winnable tie" at home and a trip to Old Trafford or Anfield in round three!!!!!:D

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

yer sure n optimistic sod loweiy.:D

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

I think Richard 'whitenose' Bacon is on Radio 5 now so I don't know if they will? No intrest in football unless its Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal Sadly :(

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

We will have to beat them and hope for Man United away next round.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Well that's a given, isn't it .............. :)

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Fix'd

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Its winnable guys!!

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

I'd have been more upbeat if we'd have been at home, but a London game midweek is impossible for me to get to.

I'd have tried to book a day off, but as I'm in the midst of a 7 week holiday, it probably wouldn't go down too well........lol

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Even on Accy Site already :eek::eek:

Carling Cup Second Round
Wednesday 12th Aug 2009

Queens Park Rangers v Accringon Stanley
Accrington Stanley will travel to Coca Cola Championship side Queens Park Rangers in the second round of the Carling Cup, week commencing Monday 24th August.

Our opponents made it through to the second round last night with a 5-0 home win over Exeter City. It will be the first time our two sides have met since the 1959/60 season, with QPR recording a 5-1 win in the old Division Three.

Further details of the tie including ticket details and away travel will be announced shortly.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

If we play like we did last night (with a better final pass) we could sneak it.

Chelsea in Rd 3, Man U in Rd 4, Liverpool in the Final - Europe here we come .........

Call me a jinx, heh?

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

I've heard of a few fans of other clubs complaining about the prices at QPR but hopefully they may do a good discount for our game.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Even if only the Chelsea bit of your prediction proved true, I'd be happy!

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Me too ................... :)

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Some good points on QPR's recent cup history.

2007/08 LC R1 QPR 1 Orient 2

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

:( what a crap way to do the draw its taken all the excitementout of it,of all the teams to get this must go down as one of the worst,why oh why :( lady luck has turned her back on us once again....

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

QPR are known for being expensive; but as Trapdoor said they may do a special consdiering most of their fans wont be to interested in a mid-week cup tie they expect to win.

cramped ground from memory, should make for a great atmosphere from our end.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

totally disagree.

ex-premier league team who have some quality players. Now a championship club, based in the centre of london ensures a fantastic day out.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

crap draw

but let's look on the bright side eh?

Are QPR not supposed to be the second richest in England? haves vs have nots cold be good for TV (haven't looked at the rest of the draw yet) and it could be winnable. Hopefully they'll be Bertie big bollox and play their kids.

Come on Stanley!

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Disagree!!! newcastle man city spures or any other big club would have been a good day out and a bigger pay day for stanley:)

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

blame matt le tisser.

i understand what you are saying, but it could have been worse than qpr.
i am looking forward to it, its a good challenge for our younger players against some good quality opposition.


btw, qpr will not be playing the kids. They played most of there 1st team against exeter away.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

i assume ya never been to a night game at that craphole Davo? 5 of us went down in car only 3 came back, due to pursuit by the thugs wi machetes waiting outside fer away fans.:(

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

If anything, central london you are safer after a game. Large police and cctv presence.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

balls tell that to the 2 guys who ended up in hospital,:rolleyes:

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Could be one in the eye for Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Could be worse you know, could be Hartlepool on a wet Tuesday:rolleyes:

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

look its 2nd round money. stop crying about it its not round 1 and out its ex money 4 coly and co. not sum clubs gone in round one walsll.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

10 mins from my house! makes a change :D
Never been in the away end at loftus road before.

i don't know when it was that your mates ran into trouble down here cashman but i've never seen much in the way of aggro, and shepherd's bush is always crawling with police on a matchday. i think it should be fine.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

was around 95 mate, when Chris Sutton scored a cracker n rovers won 1-0.:) season they won the league.;)

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Things have changed a lot in nearly 15 years.

Coleman was on the radio earlier and he wasn't happy with the draw. Everyone was hoping for a money-spinner, but yet again we're denied.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

This is a winable tie, I will be unable to attend as I am working 2 While 10 shift. I am sure it will be on the Radio, the club will make money so its not all doom and gloom.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Not according to a preston fan who lives on our street, whilst out wi dog just now, he n his mates had grief a couple of years ago on a sat afternoon,:)

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

if any thing hopes stand your ground for the stanley.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Ok then. We'll all be murdered when we play QPR and everyone knows it.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

i think the few that travel (was estimated 120 ish at rotherham on a sat afternoon) will go nontheless, would you suggest i didn't warn folk to be on there guard? still obviously you know better.:rolleyes:

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

having visited most grounds in the country wi my mates,found some are certainly a bit iffy fer away fans, fer example The Den, St Andrews,Upton Park,Prenton Park, Stamford Bridge, i assumed rightly or wrongly? many of the young uns that travel wi Stanley may not have? is it wrong to give em a heads up,?:rolleyes: :confused:

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

QPR are managed by Jim Magilton who took Gary Roberts from us to Ipswich and then decided he was not part of his plans.

Queens Park Rangers: Boss wants decent run - ClubCall.com

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

:o I see on sky we've been over looked for the carling cup live games:rolleyes: palace v man city and norwich v newcastle:o

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

the numpties are at most grounds and many Stanley have run into the gob****es. None of the Stanleyites give em anything to respond to and they are on their way.

We can do these stripey buggers so get yerselves booked on the coach. Any of teh Southern based Reds offering opinion yet?

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

That means I look like a genius in post#2 or Sky are so predictable any numpty knew what they would do :D

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

I think the problem with London grounds is that rent-a-mob can move round very easily, often nothing to do with the host club. I remember going to Leyton Orient years ago and we had loads of problems with West Ham fans, who of course could get in our end easily with a claret & blue scarf.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

When I last visited Loftus Road in 1981 Sheffield Wednesday won 2-1 finishing with 10 men the police were pulling supporters out of our end and I remember it was unclear why.

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

Just as well Millwall have been drawn at West Ham - all the numpties will be there. Battle royal. Shades of Green Street (film) about football hooliganism but mainly between Hammers fans and Millwall. QPR should be a walk in the park

:tongueout

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

wasn't aware of that tie, may just be a godsend.:D

Re: Carling Cup 2nd Round Draw
 

I've not been to see them yet this term. Went a few times last year. The ground is a bit past its sell-by for an aspiring premier league club, with stands very tightly packed around the pitch, but that does mean it can generate a great atmosphere when it's full. I wouldn't have thought it would be much more than half full for a tuesday league cup R2 though - 7,000 or so?

Last season was a bit stop-start for them with three different managers.. The continental connection in the boardroom and for a while through Sousa meant they had access to loads of italian and spanish loaners who mostly flattered to deceive, and looks like they might have gone down a similar route again with this Pellicori guy. They'll definitely get it down and play football. It's not a team built too heavily on brawn other than in the obvious places - the centre halves and Mahon in midfield. I guess Agyemang and Helguson up front are no shrinking violets neither. Routledge is probably their best-known threat, but for me the best players i've seen play there are Rowlands, Vine and Buzsaky - all of whom got bad injuries last year but are now back, i think.

Don't think the defence is up to the standard of the midfield and although the rangers fans seem to like Cerny in goal, he's looked a bit error-prone whenever i've seen him.

If they play the fringe players, Hogan Ephraim (L - sided attacking MF) is one who's been around the first team for a while with bags of ability but without really nailing down a spot (think Bobby Grant) while everyone expects big things of Angelo Balanta up front.
