Pamplemousse Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Takes place around 7.20pm Ball numbers: South Section 1 AFC Bournemouth 2 AFC Wimbledon 3 Brentford 4 Brighton & Hove Albion 5 Bristol City 6 Bromley 7 Cambridge United 8 Cardiff City 9 Charlton Athletic 10 Coventry City 11 Fulham 12 Millwall 13 Norwich City 14 Oxford United 15 Plymouth Argyle 16 Reading 17 Southampton 18 Swansea City 19 West Ham United 20 Wolverhampton Wanderers 21 Wycombe Wanderers 22 Cheltenham Town or Exeter City
Eric The Red Posted August 13 Posted August 13 EFL seem to have screwed over it's Southern teams here. Only 22 teams in the South compared to 24 in the North and we have 6 established PL teams whilst the North has 5 including all the newly promoted ones. So definitely more scope for a winnable fixture for an EFL team if you're in the Northern pot
Saint Garrett Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Bromley, Wimbledon, Cheltenham/Exeter for me... All possible new grounds...good fun last night going to Northampton.
trousers Posted August 13 Posted August 13 This has got Millwall or Swansea away written all over it...
Pamplemousse Posted August 13 Author Posted August 13 Bromley or Wimbledon away would be my first choices immediately

skintsaint Posted August 13 Posted August 13 (edited) Norwich away meh Edited August 13 by skintsaint
SW11_Saint Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Must be the most northernmost club in the ‘South section’…😫
Lighthouse Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Couple of all PL draws in that, also a couple of PL teams against strong Championship sides, which is always good for progression chances. I’m indifferent to our draw.
SNSUN Posted August 13 Posted August 13 (edited) Ah another Nor fixture. And another spousal rivalry to to push my already animosity-filled marriage to the limits. Bloody Norwich. Even my daughter favours them over Saints. I'm hoping our new arcade and mini golf course will sway her. Edited August 13 by SNSUN 3
Pamplemousse Posted August 13 Author Posted August 13 Probably the worst possible tie we could've got 2 1

Shit draw. Edit: Tell a lie, just checked and Norwich 190 miles, Swansea 170, Wolverhampton and Plymouth both over 150. Edited August 13 by TheAlehouseBrawlers 2
Lighthouse Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Just now, Pamplemousse said: Probably the worst possible tie we could've got Why? Far better than a trip to Brighton, Bournemouth or West Ham. 1

OneMrsWallace Posted August 13 Posted August 13 20 minutes ago, Lighthouse said: Why? Far better than a trip to Brighton, Bournemouth or West Ham. Pretty sure people are referring to the journey needed to get there and back in midweek, rather than the standard of opposition. Maybe more winnable of course, although PL teams often put out their weaker teams. 1
Football Special Posted August 13 Posted August 13 8 minutes ago, Pamplemousse said: Purely from a matchgoing perspective It's been a 5 hour drive there before with m25 traffic, bloody tough trip on a Tuesday night, suppose some will make a trip of it but we've played there plenty of times so not appealing

die Mannyschaft Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Was looking for Reading or Bromley but have to play a big team ar some stage. Probably worst team we could draw, long trip etc. Its winnable, do we get a big allocation? Maybe only chance for fans not on 10 -4 aways to get a ticket. never many officials coaches though always sold out early on.

stevegrant Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Last train out of Norwich after the game is at 2202 which gets back into London Liverpool Street at 2357. If the game went to penalties, you'd probably have a little bit of a jog required to make that train...

Wilf Posted August 14 Posted August 14 If you swam across the river from Carrow Road, you'd have to swim back again to get to the station!
stevegrant Posted August 14 Posted August 14 10 hours ago, Verbal said: If it goes to pens you'd need to swim across the Wensum to get that last train. 7:45 kickoff, so full-time around 9:35, penalties takes 5 minutes to get going and then 5 minutes to complete. Out of the ground at 9:45, into the station at 9:55 with 7 minutes to get food and drink for the train. Job done.

BTW Saint Posted Wednesday at 16:05 Posted Wednesday at 16:05 Tickets now on sale to members. Still a few remaining as at 17:00. Looking at staying up, hotel adjacent fully booked now for the Tuesday. This is the one with pitch facing rooms.

Sold quite a few it seems, though I suspect a large amount of seats will be empty on the night.
sledger Posted Wednesday at 17:26 Posted Wednesday at 17:26 came in the post this morning,see they can do it.

I suspect you are right but the idea of buying a ticket and not bothering to use it seems mad to me, at least offer to give it away to someone Only about 150 left out of the 2,022 allocation
