Can't be worse than last season although we should still have won that game against Accy as bad as we were.

Anyone but Rovers please.

As for Accy, at least they beat PNE this time out.

Not fancying a short bus journey and a win then?

Bin Ont Turf wrote:Not fancying a short bus journey and a win then?

If I never had to get that bus ever again I would be a happy man. In fact if we never played them for another ten years I would.

We dont need the distraction of playing them. Lets have another few years unbeaten against them yet. Especially after Accy and Lincoln!

Crikey, we come in the 2nd round?

Only the 7 teams qualified for European competition get a bye through the 2nd round.

I forgot about that game, we lost to Lincoln and Accy in the same season, quite impressive.

whoever we get I'd send the development squad

I agree throw Bardsley in there and all, useless plank

Burton
Newport
Carlisle
Bury
Rochdale
Accy
Bolton
Bristol R

All away for selfish reasons.

When are the ties to be played by the way?

Draw is tonight after the final first round tie at Bury. Think it's on sky sports news. Second round to be played w/c 21st August.

B0llocks, I'm on holiday until the 26th, scrap that, someone sh1t at home.

I'm assuming ground ticks - so my selfish away ties would be Burton, Barnet or Newport although I could do without the long journey for the latter two.

Played in two weeks time

Yes selfish reasons are for ground ticks. Hopefully I'll never complete the whole 92 clubs in the football league. Been stuck on 70 ish for quite a while

MACCA wrote:Yes selfish reasons are for ground ticks. Hopefully I'll never complete the whole 92 clubs in the football league. Been stuck on 70 ish for quite a while

I completed the 92 in February 1986 at Torquay. At the time all but Darlington had been a Burnley game so when we first played at Darlington in December 1987 my list was complete. Obviously some I've not done now but you would hope that Burnley fans in the future will struggle to do it simply because we don't ever want to be playing some of the lower division clubs again.

It'll be Wolves away.

It would be nice to have a cup run - Accy for me please....

Yeah, worked out well last year too!

It's called a nice revenge.

Or egg twice on the face....

Shudder - no thanks although surely lightening wouldn't strike twice

Rochdale away for me. Unfinished business after getting to the ground twice in 92 and both being rained off. Gave up for the 3rd one.

Absolutely

Just hoping we either draw a few in the cups, or Sean insists on a Burton, Shrewsbury and Forest Green type pre season.

I've done the new Shrewsbury ground - went to see the reserves there in early 2011. As a fellow Claret - paulclaret from this board - said to me leaving the ground: "That's 90 minutes of my life I won't get back." It ended 0-0 and I think that would still have been the score had they still been playing.

For completeness, our team was: Craig Mawson, Richard Eckersley, Nik Kudiersky, David Edgar (Chris Lynch 76), Brian Easton, Chris Anderson (Ross Wilson 52), Marvin Bartley, Shaun Williams, Michael King, Charlie Austin (Joe Jackson 75), Dominic Knowles. Subs not used: Dean Overson, Neil Yadolahi, Alex-Ray Harvey, Mehdi Lazaar.

Shudder

I didn't realise it was still regionalised in the second round. That's my Wolves away prediction out of the window.

All change, looks as though it is now regionalised. Certainly wasn't last year when Newcastle played Cheltenham, Fulham faced Middlesbrough and Rochdale travelled to QPR.

It's a farce. Both West Ham and Newport have asked for an away tie so Newport have been placed in the north group to avoid the two being drawn against each other. And Grimsby, should they beat Derby, will be seeded when they shouldn't be. Still, at least they are not going to Thailand to draw it as they did in the 1st round when Charlton were drawn out twice and a lot of the ties had to be changed after the draw had finished.

Our opponents will now be one of

Bury or Barnsley
Accrington
Blackburn
Bolton
Carlisle
Doncaster
Newport
Nottingham Forest
Rochdale
Rotherham
Scunthorpe
Sheffield United
Wigan

Just seen that the third round draw will take place in Beijing - I think the Football League has just become a vehicle for Shaun Harvey to get some free jollies.

Is this correct?
