When is this drawn?
Is it regionalised or an open draw with no seedlings?

I think we’ll draw Forest.

I dont think Dyche has entered us in it this season

Forrest.

Not seen any details yet for draw. I think they dropped the seedings last season though.

Foulthrow wrote:Forrest.

Gump?

Looking at last season’s second round it was still regional but no seeding of the teams.

Lord Beamish wrote:Gump?

Notts Forrest Gump. FACT.

Pretty sure I read somewhere the 2nd round is completely unseeded, so we could draw another Premier league team. Really hope we have a good go at the Cups this year.

It being drawn by two dolphins somewhere in the mid China sea, scheduled for four AM UK Time, just to build up the excitement.

An away tie at Nailsworth would be good, (never been there), but FGR have a tough away tie at Charlton to get past if they are going to get into the 2nd round draw.

Went to Burton last season, worse than a friendly. SD has no interest in this comp whatsoever.

Has this not been the case for several years now?

I went to Ew*od two years ago. We looked interested then.

So do we know when it’s getting drawn or not?!

You could take local cricketer. FGR would satisfy his dietary needs. http://www.uptheclarets.com/messageboar ... =2&t=41146" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

We should give both cups a good go

Weak opposition to give some of the youth fringe players some minutes.

Burnley vs Blackburn.

Even the Nottingham FOREST FC website doesn't use a double r in the word FOREST! Why do some people keep insisting it should be spelt with 2? https://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/

Once shared a plate of leaves with Dale Vince. Great bloke

All 1st round games will be completed by 10.30pm on Tuesday night so sometime overnight (if previous season's draws are any indication) or on Wednesday I would have thought. No seedings or regional limitations mean we could be going anywhere but knowing our luck it will be The Etihad again.

Can't be the Etihad as teams playing in Europe don't enter for another round. Everton or Leicester away is as tough as it could get for us.

This is definitely the bottom half of the Internet

If you don’t puke up you’re out of the cup

Can't be right, they've eaten all the dolphins.

Or is that the Japanese?

It's a joke

Notts Forrest fans lose their **** when you do it, quite amusing really. It normally curtails their 24/7 loop about winning the European Cup twice, don't you know.

I think we will win it this season.

Silverware for the cupboard.

Do you still get a Europa place?

It used to be the Notts that got their goat, that’s County. Forrest is worth a bite also.

Im sure its just the obsessive sado minority like the Burnley fans who get upset about fans singing in our Lancashire homes.

Majority of normal folk for both clubs wont give two shits

But why correct BFC fans about it on a BFC supporters messageboard? Firstly, it's about as funny as falling into a 3/4 full cesspit and, secondly, the gobshites who might get in the slightest bit agitated by reading it probably can't read very well anyway.

Draw after the Salford v Leeds game on sky sports Tommorrow 13th august
Again it's split into north/south
No mention of seedlings?

Notts County
Nottingham Forest

Notts County fans and Forest fans lose their **** when people mix up their club names

(A bit like Burnsley and Barnley )

The oddity is that the Notts County ground is north of the Trent in the City of Nottingham whilst Nottingham Forest's ground (City Ground) is south of the river in West Bridgeford (as is the cricket ground) which is in Nottinghamshitre rather than Nottingham.

Brilliant Typo m8 Love It......

It's a typo Ive made quite a few times in the past. I usually get the "t" and miss the "r" completely. Happens most often with Yorks.... for some subconscious reason.

Notts County used to play at the cricket ground while Forest previously played at a ground in the city

Ahh- that explains things. I lived in West Bridgeford for a couple of years in late 70s and used to be able to walk to City Ground & TB in 6-7 minutes (bit longer for Meadow Lane). I never picked up that info to explain the anomaly.

I did hear that at one time, County bought/were given a stand that Forest got rid of and they floated it across the river- not sure if that's a myth or true. Not a lot of rivalry between the 2 sets of fans in general as far as I picked up, I knew a few locals who were happy to watch either (as I was as a neutral).

pretty sure we'll draw Man City away in one of the cups

Bearing in mind our 'shadow; 11 is effectively:

Hart, Bardsley, Long, Gibson, Taylor/Pieters: Lennon, Hendrick, Drinkwater, Brady: Rodriguez, Vydra(?) - with maybe opportunities for Dunne, Koiki and Benson.

It would be brilliant to be able to give all/most of those player a start and the full 90. Plus looks an awful lot stronger than sides we've put out for some of the recent tame surrenders at Accrington and Burton - amongst others.

Would rather we took the competition seriously.

I think we all would including the club but it just boils down to priorities at the end of the day.

"Winning nothing" shouldn't be the priority. What's the point of blowing off the cups when we have the best team for decades and an actual chance of winning one?

You obviously don't understand the importance of Burnley FC remaining in the Premiership for another year.

I'd be happy to draw either Bolton or Bury, it would be a chance to either help one out or gloat at the other.
