*Anyone ELSE getting up at 0415 for the CARIBOU Cup DRAW*

[Simster]

It's a wonderful draw and for all those unfortunate enough not to have a ticket for the league game, it's a chance to attend a fantastic Premier league stadium.

I know of at least 3 attending the League game who won't be taking up the same offer for the Caribou Cup Classic.

I could probably name you 11 who will be at the first match but not the second.

I set MY alarm for 415pm and MISSED all the excitement how STUPID is that

You must be gutted to have missed such a momentous sporting occasion.

Anyone just getting up should listen again to BBC 5Live from 4:15 to 5:00 where they were trying to bring the draw live and couldn't believe the total cock up.

As if anyone who wants a ticket for this won't get one. 15% allocation for cup games so 1,800 tickets to watch two reserve teams. We won't take more than 700.

I think you might have too many zeros in that away attendance estimate

Having read through this thread and seeing the draw tweets I realised I woke up characteristically early at about the time the Albion ball was drawn. I take this as an omen but nit sure if it's good or bad, or I just needed a wee.

 

[Easy 10]

Happened the other way round in BN42 - passed out and just now found out we've Bournemouth away - that's not a bad draw at the end of the day.

Start of the day, surely.

Awful, awful draw on all counts.
Small ground, small ticket allocation, unlikely to progress. The same people who snapped up tkts for the league game will do likewise again ( + 280 pts ) leaving a lot of people unable to go again, particularly as it won't be televised.

Won't be televised? This is South El Coastico part deux we're talking about! Away goals count as double in both legs

Bizarre. Just listened to it.

It's Up All Night, and I found it at 3hours 50seconds.

What an own goal from Carabou. Why not a Facebook Live draw or something? Crackers.

And how do they think they will get the South East Asian audience interested in this when people in the UK are barely interested (unless you reach the semi-finals)

 

[Triggaaar]

Some of you actually stayed up, just for that? WTF?

 

[Dave the OAP]

I really REALLY want us to draw Palace.

We did...I am bored playing them now.

Organisers seem pretty happy with how the 3rd round draw went .

Bournemouth away twice in a week. What a treat for the traveling fans.

Could we not just combine both as one match?

15 loyalty points for the away game, great chance for people to pick up more points on people.

Would like to see one or two added to the team for this game (Murphy, sidwell), 4th round would be the furthest we have got in this since??

 

[theboybilly]

15 points isn't enough to tempt people on a Tuesday night with no way home unless by car or coach to watch the same sort of performance as against Barnet. That said I will be there

10 points Shirley for the away fixture? Additionally I should imagine that the people they'd be trying to pick points up on would already be buying tickets, hence their already inflated totals generally.

Did a 24 hour awakathon - got a few hours when I'd passed out around threeish.

It's only 5 points for bournemouth away in league and away in cup will probably be 5 points again
It's only 15 points for home cup games
