Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Stoke city at home please :) or any home tie

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Not fussy, any of those at home will do :) or, if we are drawn away anyone except Leeds! :(

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Assume these will all be evening, mid-week games.
The money-match would be Burnley at home, ensuring a big attendance.
What's the betting we get bleedin Middlesboro again!

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Blackburn at home, then we will have beaten ALL local rivals.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Have Grimsby ended up being potential seeds just because their game was postponed?

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

West Ham away please: their ground is not ready due to stadium used for world athletics

West Ham will have to pay compensation to their opponents if they are drawn at home and the tie is switched.

Home and away clubs in the EFL Cup split gate receipts equally

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Blackburn are not seeded so we can't play them.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Newcastle likely to bring as many, if not more, than Burnley! The latter' fans wouldn't want to risk watching another 'shock' result at The Wham.;)

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Oh well suppose it gives em a get out of jail card then.:D

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

would love sunderland home or away but i,ve a funny feeling we,ll get norwich away. as accymad said anyone but bloody l---s.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Now why would I like Southampton ....:D

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Barnsley.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Too soon

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

'Cos Pompey are out?;)

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

It's not just West Ham but Newport too who have permission to play their 2nd round tie away if they are drawn at home. So, to avoid a West Ham and Newport clash, the 2nd round is regionalised, with Newport in the north and West Ham in the south.

1. Aston Villa
2. Burnley
3. Derby County / Grimsby Town
4. Huddersfield Town
5. Hull City
6. Leeds United
7. Leicester City
8. Middlesbrough

10. Sheffield Wednesday
11. Stoke City
12. West Bromwich Albion
13. Sunderland / Barnsley *

North non-seeds

16. Blackburn Rovers
17. Bolton Wanderers

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Sod's law suggests Middlesbrough, away!

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

So there's going to be some lucky chuffers to get a day out at Newport's beach. We have a beach here in Nottingham city centre for those banned from Skegness and I swear there's more grass than at Newport then again there's always been a drug problem in Notts

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

West Brom at home excellent.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Can't complain at that un.:)

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

I think that's possible another win

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Highly winnable game, 'ave it!

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

West Brom stiffs at home they won't like it up 'em

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Nice one!! :)

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Just looking at the draw (EFL Cup second round draw: Southampton to host Wolves - BBC Sport) there must be a good chance of it being televised.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

do west brom travel in big numbers?
would expect at least 1,000 - be quite the adventure for their fans coming up to play against the famous accrington stanley

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Don't know about 1000 Baggies fans but looking forward to seeing Frank Skinner & Adrian Chiles in the Sports Bar.
:D

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

I shall be at this one, come hell or high water. Accrington people should come out for a game like this. We need a home support of at least 2000. We can do it. We are playing brilliant football so far. A great time to be a Stanley fan. Just hope it is not on the same night as the Rovers/Burnley match.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Just had a peek on their fans forum, one or two good comments 'cracking draw' & 'two founder members playing each other for first time in 100 years' - a couple of others being pedantic & saying we're not founder members??!! There's the obligatory 'who are they' comment & one saying 'doesn't matter, they're so unimportant the draw is tagged onto last year's cup draw thread'
Time to show 'em exactly who we are & what we're capable of methinks :)

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

yes they do travel in big numbers despite the M6. expect over 1000 as they have never been to the wham. why we can,t get over 2000 of our own will be beyond me. always thought of em as a proper club with a proper manager without the need to appoint some foreign guy who has no idea of cup traditions in this country. expect it to be something like the burnley game last season with hopefully the same result.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

don,t think it will be but it will be used as a reason for locals not to attend. same night or wife won,t let me out two nights a week or accy prices too high.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Good draw against a good club.
They're at Burnley on the Saturday. Play it Monday night (to avoid the East Lancs derby) and they'll be tempted to stay two nights at the Travelodge. That should do for 'em.:rolleyes:

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Got everything crossed we play any night but Tuesday - come on football gods, be nice please :)

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Looking at the other fixtures, ours must be odds-on for televised coverage, which usually means moving the game to suit Sky.
David v Goliath
League 2 v Premiership
History & romance of two founder members coming together after 130 odd years.
(Stuff the pedants who disagree about that! Stanley still represents our town, just as the original Accrington FC did.)
This is one badge I'll be proudly adding to me bobble hat!
PS. For the record, we beat them 2-1 at home & drew 2-2 at their place in the inaugural 1888-89 season

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Tuesday 22 Aug the match sorry Di.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Yeah, just seen it - can't be helped, family come first - suppose it could still be on the telly??

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Grimsby v Derby on telly. Rovers v Burnley the next night. Surely only a biblical plague of frogs will keep the good folk of Accy away from The Wham and a chance to see Stanley take on a Premier League squad at League 2 prices. :rolleyes:

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Well fer what our ground holds exile if they dont sell out its a disgrace on the good people.;)

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Strange that. Grimsby v Derby is a round one tie.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

Round 2 TV matches (from the EFL site):
Tue 22nd Aug: Carabao Cup - Sheffield United v Leicester City (7:45pm)
Wed 23rd Aug: Carabao Cup - Cheltenham Town v West Ham United (7:45pm)

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

I'm sure you're right, MikeA, but it still says Grimsby on Live-FootballOnTV.com website. So much for websites.:rolleyes:

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

It seems Grimsby v Derby is on Sky Go, whatever that is.

Re: Carabao Cup 2nd Rd. Who do you want?
 

I see Gareth Barry's signed for the Baggies today, the lengths some players will go to for the chance to play against Stanley :)
