Palace away tomorrow please!

[The Grockle]

It’s the draw for the Carling cup tomorrow and I’ve got this funny feeling we’re going to draw Palace away!

I’ve still never seen Brighton play Palace at Selhurst park so here’s hoping aye!

Anyone got a preference for the first round draw?

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

I'm hoping for Southampton away for obvious reasons.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Surely you've gotta want an easy tie in this round, so it'll be easy progress into the 2nd round.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

It'll be a boring home draw, don't you just know it

 

[southwickseagull]

A nice easy home draw so we can perhaps progress to round 3 and a repeat of last season with a premiership team at home.

Although Man City was a great night i'd much prefer a tastly away draw against a decent opponent. Plus that way the club get a nice slice of the ticket sales.

Midweek away though - hard for a lot to get to.

Fair point, unless of course we draw one of the big London clubs?( I’m obviously not including Palace there).

Arsenal at the Emirates would be good, wouldn’t be too tough for people to get back plus they’d give us 5000+ tickets. Could easily out sing Arsenal at their place

palace , hard to get to ?? you're havin a laugh, it mustbe one of the easiest away trips , if not the easiest, that brighton could get .

Personally i am really hoping its a boring tie at home, and the same for the first two league fixtures. Only because i am away, Palace away second round please!

One train if you get the right one!

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Southend away for me...10 minute walk and cold drinks aplenty.

 

[severnside gull]

Something easy so we make progress and the chance of a big club to follow!

In the league I am hoping for Walsall away because it's only 30 minutes from home and I desperately want to get revenge for last season when I landed at the airport from a trip abroad, ran to the car park, blitzed it up the M6 and got to Bescott to see us be humiliated after the worst performance imaginable. A win for the blue and white stripes would be very welcome this time round!

 

[HG201]

Palace, watford, reading and QPR away would all go down well with me!

 

[strings]

I'm not fussed, as none of those teams are near enough for me to travel to for a midweek game (except possibly MK Dons).

 

[saltash seagull]

plymouth away please

Newcastle get a buy, how did they wangle that, I imagine we draw one of the seeded south clubs away!

Why would you include Palace in a list of BIG London clubs?

Saints away would be my preference

 

[strings]

Newcastle get a buy, how did they wangle that

The two highest placed clubs (based on last season's league tables) get a buy in order to make the maths work.

They were Newcastle 'we belong in the top 7' United and Middlesborough.
