Stanley v Cardiff
 

If it wasn't for bad luck, we would have No luck at all.:eek:

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Agreed Cashy, but its winnable!

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Thats a pants draw! At least we're at home, though I expect Mr T may need a cup of tea and a sit down in a darkened room given the reputation of their 'fans'. I remember being a steward when they came in preseason a few years back and they were fighting themselves!

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

I've wanted Cardiff in a cup drawer for a few years now but I wanted it away from home so we could win and take some money off the Welsh into the bargain. This is a winnable tie so we should now look forward with optimism. Could well be televised.

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Premier League new boys at home? I'd consider that a good tie. They aren't exactly overrun with household names so I wouldn't imagine it drawing a huge crowd (by our standards) but hopefully it'll be a telly match. Looking through the draw I would have thought that only Morecambe v Newcastle or Doncaster v Leeds seem like particularly appetising games.

Win this and get a bigger draw in the next round please

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Donny v Leeds is same division so can't see that being attractive to Sky

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

I will be amazed if Sky televise that un Rob.:confused: Shrimps v Newcastle i would reckon.

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

My moneys on a Weds 28th match, seems Cardiff are playing on the Sunday before.:) But don't tell R.H. pmsl.

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Sky tend not to do the same club twice in a row.
ITV and the BBC do, but Sky like to add variety.
The only thing which may work against us is the televised game Vs Pompey being so close to the 2nd round dates.

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

I'll take that. A battle of Britain with a top flight side at home. Looking forward to it. :):)

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

we've got Burton on the friday night following so maybe no scope other than a Tues game, unless Sky cross our palm with much gold of course.

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Decent draw for Stanley home game Premiership side can't really ask for more.

Not quite sure how it would work fixture wise but Burnley also take on PNE in the next round so that may also have a bearing on the night of the fixture as well as Cardiff playing against City on the Sunday.

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Michael Liddle on Cardiff:-
"take out any team with the accy ultras behind us lad!"
Aye, 'twas a great feeling for the Accy 187 noisily leaving the Riverside Stadium on Tuesday. The prawn sandwich brigade at Old Trafford can keep winning their boring Premiership titles - they can't even begin to feel the same sense of achievement we had that night!

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

The flame burns on.

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

I think it's a decent draw.They'll be more interested in Premiership survival this season than the league cup,so i can see them putting a reserve side out and Stanley beating them!

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

I was pleased with this draw - it will be the most high profile game for 3 years.

I would guess it is played on the Wed and the Burton game is moved back?

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

:) Fantastic Draw for Stanley a most winnable game against the prem new boys, think i'm right in saying this will be there 3rd game of the season to our 6th. Hit the ground running Boys and we'll stuff em,we owe a prem team a beating ;):D

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

:) Blue Birds Cardiff City Online: Main Cardiff City Messageboard » Capital One Cup. Accrington Stanley v Cardiff City Sparkie 's mentioned a couple of times :p

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

I like that post by "Gronovic" on that thread. Put it up in our dressing room, Beatts!

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

We could probably do without the cup run in our maiden Premier League season, but what happened in 2011 leaves me in two minds. But don't get me wrong - offer any Cardiff fan 17th in the PL instead of the C1 Cup or even the FA Cup and you know which we'd choose.

As others have said above, it will be our development squad most likely - although we're probably coming off a massive loss in front of Sky cameras the previous Sunday so who knows. Maybe Malky will play a strengthened squad for morale purposes....

Looking forward to it anyways. :)

Who should we look out for? Any stand out players you boys can mention?

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Don't underestimate our substitutes.:D

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Wilson, McCartan, Gray? Lol. It's your starting XI I'm worried about pal.

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

I only remember it as I was a steward that day and in charge of the main stand I think and we had two of their guys kick off by the main turnstiles once inside the ground. Fun was had by all! :D

Anyway as always a nice warm welcome will be on offer to the genuine cardiff fans (the idiots can stay at home). Looking forward to a good game against prem oppo and hopefully our passage into round 3.

Not quite sure how to take being referred to as a bloke though! :rolleyes:

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Pete might be a bit concerned also.?:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

well we're not on tele Liverpool v Notts and Shrimps v Newcastle chosen instead

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Hate to say it, but was a knocking bet.

Re: Stanley v Cardiff

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

maybe its skys 3rd game on the Thursday putting back burton game to sunday

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Tis on fishy now.:D

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Sorry for the delay in the announcement, not too much I can say in public but a lot of people had to be consulted.

Wasn't helped by some of the Cardiff admin people being out of the country so e-mail exchanges were at odd times.

Other games in the county plus Sky's selections were all part of the discussions;)

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

So we could be on tv then !!:-D

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Thing is they would never allow a big club to play 2 games so close ,these days anyway!:rolleyes:

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Thought Dan had annouced, Cardiff weds and Burton Sat

Next stop the fishy!!:)

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

When yeh checked, kick Dans Ass.:D;)

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Blame "SKY" fer that un mate, If Cardiff were not playing on previous Sunday, The game woulda been on Tuesday, then no problem, sod all woulda changed.;)

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Well I may be in minority of one here, but I blame us. I just don't get this love of Friday night football at all, as Saturdays always feel empty to me when we've played the day before. The theory seems to be that we get more on the Crown if we switch, but surely this is more than compensated by the bigger away followings at the week end? Travelling from afar on Friday tea time is always a nightmare with roads clogged up. Maybe I'm just a grumpy old get.

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

We sell the t-shirts, not a problem to add the word Stanley in there :D

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

[QUOTE=lancsdave;1071396]We sell the t-shirts, not a problem to add the word Stanley in there :D
Might just pop in for one! What's making me particularly grumpy today is that I'll now miss the Burton game as we will be on the train to Inverness on the Saturday to pick up a hired campervan for touring the Scottish highlands and islands. Grrr!

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

You will have a wonderful time!

The Scotch mist is no problem but beware the midges. :D

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Cheers. I hear the clegs are pretty bad this year and then there's the ticks too. Did the same trip 2 years ago but that was in May and no insect problems, so not sure what to expect in September. You can see some of my pics on the Highland Campervans facebook page.

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

Going to have to miss the Burton game now, made plans for Saturday so that's frustrating.

Re: Stanley v Cardiff
 

same here book a week away from the saturday, thanks stanley
