That’ll do. Cardiff at home.

[Claretmisterg]

Burnley at home to Cardiff

[Murger]

Home to Cardiff. Deffo winnable.

[CrosspoolClarets]

That’s fine.

[Buxtonclaret]

Home!

[Vegas Claret]

cracking draw, good chance to progress again

[Colburn_Claret]

Can't complain at that draw

[Joe14]

We never get drawn away in the cup

[ElectroClaret]

Can't ask for much more than that.
Pretty unglamorous tie, but hey it's winnable.

[claretburns]

As we missed the European sides I liked how the majority got lower league sides, some great ties in there for Port Vale, Lincoln, Huddersfield and Doncaster.

[Rileybobs]

Just hope the league doesn’t get in the way of our cup run.

[RickyBobby]

Happy with that. Another home game and one we have a chance of winning. Can’t ask for much more.

[Claretnick]

Bradford away to Newcastle. Grezza up against Eddie Howe

[SydneyClaret]

Would love to have a cup run. There’s not been too many in my 50 years.

We’re Premier League! We are glamorous!

Good draw and nice that many of the European sides got lower league. The only criticism for randomness, which a draw should have, is the fact they were the first eight ties. I'd change it to them being drawn home or away - as done pre-draw in this case - but also add in the tie number, i.e. balls with 1-16 so once the main draw starts then you know which game number they'd be.

Drat... I wanted Man Utd

[The Shire Claret]

If the club want more people on for this they need to do £5 - £10 tickets

[RickyBobby]

Looks like we will be playing on the 23rd or 24th as Cardiff are playing Exeter in the football league trophy on the 16th so it won’t be that week.

mel - part of the draw is before the game and part afterwards.

You need a science degree to understand how it works but they draw the teams in Europe out before the game and also whether they will play home or away.

Then after the game the rest of us are drawn to join the nine teams in Europe.

Once that done the remaining teams are drawn out as per normal.

Sounds straightforward enough.

[Boss Hogg]

Don’t get the point of the draw when it’s not random. The first part was rigged.

[TonbridgeClaret]

If the club want more people on for this they need to do £5 - £10 tickets

Absolutely. £10 for adults, all under 18's £5. That should pull in a decent enough crowd.

[RickyBobby]

Does anyone know why it is taking so long for the club to announce on what date this game will be played? Is it due to sky dragging their heels with picking their games?

All games are televised in the League Cup but I don't think the main games have been selected yet.
