JRM Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 I'd fancy Crawley away I think, if not then Plymouth at home. Draw is made 12.30 today apparently so should provide some excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smackalec Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 Hopefully drawn away at ground I've never been to. Is the draw still regional? Oxford or Crawley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 15 August, 2012 Author Share Posted 15 August, 2012 Doesn't appear to be regional, but it is seeded, who is up for carlise away? http://www.leeds.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=289983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeovil Saint Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 It isn't regional, but is seeded and for the first time in years, we're seeded. We'll get one of the teams that finished 18th or lower in last year's Championship or we in last year's League One or League Two. There are 25 such clubs. Barnsley Bradford City Burton Albion Carlisle United Coventry City Crawley Town Doncaster Rovers Crewe Alexandra Gillingham Leyton Orient Milton Keynes Dons Morecambe Northampton Town Nottingham Forest Oxford United Peterborough United Plymouth Argyle Preston North End S****horpe United Sheffield Wednesday Stevenage Swindon Town Tranmere Rovers Walsall Yeovil Town If not Yeovil away, to make my travel easier, I quite fancy us going to Peterborough again.

JRM Posted 15 August, 2012 Author Share Posted 15 August, 2012 Games played between Wigan and Man Utd at home, bank holiday week. If they do offer loyalty points for this could help with Arsenal away tickets especially for those not doing Man City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 Games played between Wigan and Man Utd at home, bank holiday week. If they do offer loyalty points for this could help with Arsenal away tickets especially for those not doing Man City 4 days before I fly back ..... and the 3rd Round if we are still in it is the day I fly back to Dubai. Destined not to see a game whilst I'm back - except Man U in a Leigh pub full of Man U fans (and hopefully some Citeh and Liverpool fans as well!! )- what could go wrong!!

ByTheGolacs Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 20 miles north of London, in Hertfordshire. Direct trains from Kings Cross in 20-odd minutes. Ground is 5 minutes off A1 junction 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without seeing the draw, surely this will be on the box? Great draw for me. With Wigan Athletic in February and Stevenage that'll be 80 current grounds I've seen Saints play in. I don't much care for Stevenage though. Until a couple of years ago, when they dropped the Borough bit, we were the only SFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground Guide states around 1400, would be nice to get decent numbers up there as I assume it'll be a new ground for many. thats about right number, unfortunately the away end is a new seated stand, but games i've seen there away fans tend to stand, Accrington Stanley even let off a flare in the play offs. the only home fans that make any noise are in the side stand terrace to the right of the away end facing the pitch. would imagine we'd take at least a 1000 there with it still being school holidays and potentially another game to earn points for Arsenal priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
