dannysfc Posted 8 June, 2011 Share Posted 8 June, 2011 Following on from bjk's what team we will get when the new fixtures come out topic, I thought I'd start a topic on who do people want to get in the Carling Cup 1st Round Draw on Thursday 16th June!?! I wouldn't mind someone easy at Home like Accrington-(Who Are They-Exactly!)(No Offence!) so that we can start of on our Carling Cup journey and would be Good to be playing a Big Team again depending on how far we get but we'l see! Thanks! COYR !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 8 June, 2011 Share Posted 8 June, 2011 Either Brizzle club or maybe Yeovil away. Don't really give a flying feck about the Worthington Cup, so something local would be more tempting. Not Swindon, been there twice, lost 1-0 twice. Sh*t hole.

Matthew Le God Posted 8 June, 2011 Share Posted 8 June, 2011 I wouldn't mind someone easy at Home like Accrington Burton Albion away As always. Coventry away. Portsmouth at home None of these are possible... The Carling Cup 1st round is regional and seeded. Saints will be seeded and in the southern section.

Griffo Posted 9 June, 2011 Share Posted 9 June, 2011 Forest and Saints will both be seeded and can't play each other in the 1st round. What's the list of teams we can play then? I'd like Aldershot away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 9 June, 2011 Share Posted 9 June, 2011 Which date is it likely to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 9 June, 2011 Share Posted 9 June, 2011 Only PL teams and those newly relegated get excluded. That's not *always* true, I don't think. This season muddies the waters somewhat as Birmingham got relegated but qualified for Europe, so they'll get a bye to round 3. Also, Fulham qualified for the Europa League via the Fair Play League, which wouldn't happen every year, so there's an extra European place. As a result, it needs a bit of a reshuffle through the whole competition. Having done some working-out, I reckon they're going to have to either have a preliminary round between Crawley and Wimbledon for a place in round 1, or also drop West Ham into round 1. I suspect they'll do the latter, they've only ever had a preliminary round once, in 2002/3. Round 3, 32 teams, made up of 7 European qualifiers + 25 Round 2 winners. Byes to Round 3: Man United, Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Stoke, Birmingham - Fulham can't go here as it destroys the balance of the previous rounds, they would have to play a 2nd round game on a different week to everyone else if they manage to get through all the qualifying rounds of the Europa League. Round 2, 50 teams, made up of 14 remaining Premier League clubs + highest-placed relegated team + 35 Round 1 winners. Byes to Round 2: Liverpool, Everton, Fulham, Aston Villa, Sunderland, West Brom, Newcastle, Bolton, Blackburn, Wigan, Wolves, QPR, Norwich, Swansea, Blackpool. Round 1, 70 teams, made up of the lowest-ranked 70 teams in Football League. From those 70 teams, those who would be split into the "south" section would be: West Ham, Cardiff, Reading, Millwall, Ipswich, Watford, Bristol City, Portsmouth, Crystal Palace, Brighton, Saints, MK Dons, Bournemouth, Leyton Orient, Exeter, Colchester, Brentford, Charlton, Yeovil, Dagenham, Bristol Rovers, Plymouth, Swindon, Wycombe, Stevenage, Torquay, Gillingham, Oxford, Southend, Aldershot, Cheltenham, Hereford, Barnet, Crawley, Wimbledon. However, there's then another spanner in the works because you can't divide 35 teams in each section into ties, as there would be one left over in each. They'll probably then move the southern-most team in the "north" section (Northampton) into the "south" section, to make it a 34/36 split. Of those 36, the 18 highest-placed would be seeded, meaning that we could only be drawn against one of: Yeovil, Dagenham, Bristol Rovers, Plymouth, Swindon, Wycombe, Stevenage, Torquay, Gillingham, Oxford, Southend, Aldershot, Cheltenham, Hereford, Northampton, Barnet, Crawley, Wimbledon. I now need a lie down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightspark Posted 9 June, 2011 Share Posted 9 June, 2011 The Carling Cup 1st Round draw is usually seeded. And divided into north and south for the first round as well (though they won't tell you this). So there will be no Accrington, no Burton, no Coventry, no Skates, no Forest and no Bristol City. The seedings usually include the top League 1 clubs as well. I hope we get AFC Wimbledon, Plymouth or Torquay personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 9 June, 2011 Share Posted 9 June, 2011 We're the anti-Man City, we invest in youth development, infrastructure and team. They spend big on famous names, huge wages and building a european brand. Man City have spent huge amounts on youth development and infrastructure (hence why they will be joining Saints and Chelsea with category one academy status), only problem is it is unlikely many of the players they will produce will make the 1st team.

Matthew Le God Posted 9 June, 2011 Share Posted 9 June, 2011 Aldershot away on the terrace and another "local derby" to add to our collection. Well it is in Hampshire and 40 miles away so I don't see why it wouldn't be a local derby. Obviously not a fierce local derby, as there is no rivalry, but a local derby all the same.

Torrent Of Abuse Posted 9 June, 2011 Share Posted 9 June, 2011 Portsmouth at home (we win 2-0). Like last year, we'll dive right into a 'local derby' en route to giving the f**kers a three match kicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 9 June, 2011 Share Posted 9 June, 2011 Nothing that appealing at all in that list. Hereford or Cheltenham only new grounds and they'd be a trek on a Tuesday night.

I'll add to my initial Oxford and Aldershot with AFC Wimbledon, which would be amusing as my boss is on their committee, and I'd like to see Saints murder Crawley as they're a fairly unpleasant little club with some big ideas who haven't endeared themselves to anyone in the last year or so.

Neil Posted 11 June, 2011 Share Posted 11 June, 2011 If away, then Aldershot, Wimbledon, Crawley, Stevenage, Oxford or Cheltenham. If home then not too fussed, although the Skates could be very interesting. I still remember the atmosphere at that 2003 Carling Cup game at SMS which was the first meeting for 7 years. Absolutely electric, St Mary's was rocking that night, never heard it so loud since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
