We can't draw them. Saints are seeded, Accrington are non-seeded in the Northern section.

 

Saints can get...

Bugger. It'll be Millwall away in that case....

 

But hoping for Redknapp at home...

In that case I will take Real Betis U12s ladies away...

Ooh. I'm not up to date with this season's principal partners.

 

Who has the best principal partner?

It's the cup we are going win this season against Man U in the final. Gabbi scoring the winning goal while clearly 10 yards offside but not seen by the match officials....

[JRM]

Are you sure the draw is regionalised? I know it's seeded but didn't think there was any regional classification.

Only regionalised because bloody West Ham and Newport can't fulfill a home fixture ffs. They should just forfeit the tie in that case. I wanted Accrington Stanley

Please please can it be against Liverpool this time, having beaten Man Utd in the semi

So basically we can only get to the final if there is no sponsor?

[Plastic]

I preferred 'no main sponsor'. It's catchier.

[suewhistle]

Burton, for the ale. Haven't had one for years, do they still do it? It had a lovely coal dust flavour. If they've stopped making it Pedigree will do.

Stuffing Birmingham would also have its bright side..

[Shroppie]

No Cheltenham. [emoji45]

What a ****ing shambles sky sports are making of this!

 

Home tie, would have preferred an away trip but that'll do

[Trader]

They're ****ing this up

[LGTL]

Sky have previous with this - I don't think I've ever watched them do a draw that they haven't completely ****ed up.

[beatlesaint]

they have given Salako two jobs, it's a bridge too far

Got to be a tenner. On the back of two Saturday homes games too.

[Trader]

I'm sure the red balls started as away, then switched to home halfway through. They haven't confirmed Southern section draw yet. I could of course be wrong, but I'm sure Bristol City were drawn at home, if it's switched I'm right.

They did indeed, but only because thicko Salako got it the wrong way around.

I thought that as well, then there were confused looks and Julian Warren pointed out the H on red and A on white.....it was a **** up, I think a couple of those early drawn out teams should be home and not away !

[Saint_clark]

Didn't watch it, in what way did they f*ck it up?

[JRM]

Absolute mess of a draw, SKY should be embarrassed by that. Taking friendlies into account this will be our 5th home game in a row (all within a 20 day period) so make it £10 adults £1 kids and try to get a decent crowd in during the holidays.

 

we'll find out in Pellegrino likes rotation as much as Puel.

 

Blackburn v Burnley the tie of the round.

[Patrick Bateman]

I'd love to see this match as a £5 match, kids £1. I can't see them doing it, but it won't even be half full given we have so many home games ...

 

Edit - Just seen JRM's post, agree! They could charge £40 for Blackburn vs Burnley and it'll fill up

[Trader]

Yep, they've switched 'em round, no comment about it though.

 

Thay're probably hoping nobody noticed.

Make it a quid to season ticket holders as well, let's get the core fanbase in for definite, good atmosphere going...good chance to build some early season momentum and the crowd can play a big part of that.

[oldsarum]

Can someone explain why Newport County in North Group yet Wolves in South Group ?
