Would like West ham away but it would definitely get moved to the Friday night, will seem strange that the first weekend fixture of the season is the league cup, still think we should get a bye as former winners.

Why are York and Crawley both 36? Do they have a pre-first round qualification match?

Why are York and Crawley both 36? Do they have a pre-first round qualification match?

Yes. Tranmere play Rochdale in the north pre qualification.
It is due to having so many English teams in European competitions. They did the same last season.

The pre qualification rounds are played between the 2 teams who got promoted out of the conference and the 2 lowest teams who stayed up in league 1.

Isn't York north of Rochdale? And Tranmere?

They'll love being Southerners in York for sure

Hold on, since when has the League Cup been regionalised? I know this has long been the case for the Mickey Mouse Trophy.

 

[Boris]

West Ham away for the only chance of a new ground, please. Failing that, anyone at home

Bromley, York City, Colchester?

We're going to Bromley anyway this season, I've been to Colchester (for an FA Youth Cup game a few seasons back), and I forgot there's a chance we might play York, that Southern powerhouse

 

[Ox4Eva]

Peterborough away no doubt

 

[swolley]

With the first league fixture v MK dons its bound to be MK dons

 

[Northstandboy]

Orient away

 

[Teddydee1980]

It's the Scott Mitchell Vs Ed Waldron Transfer Business face off...

 

[Didcotox]

Will probably do this one rather than New Year’s Day to tick off Brisbane Rd

A lot of people wanted West Ham away, the draw just got off the central lane a couple of stops late.

I suppose if neither us or Blackpool have 3 players called up it might be on? Both easter fixtures going is annoying, going to be a long bank holiday weekend.
