carling cup 2nd round draw......we got....

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Great opportunity to get a big club in the 3rd round.

 

[Surrey Phil]

Brilliant draw - especially as it's free for 1901 ers!! As the home league midweek games are on a Tuesday, presumably game will be on 23rd Aug?

 

[garethjamesuk]

Yeah they seem a mix of excited and nervous as they know we a decent team and the cup can be tough.
It shows how far we have come when fans of teams like sunderland a bit nervous of playing us.
Im happy with that draw, is as good as we could wish and home tie means a possibility of winning this game, but have to perform a bit better than last 2 games.

 

[osgood]

Snap!

mee too, 3 x home games, fck fck fck !

 

[kingcole]

Not suggesting Sunderland will want it, but does the 15% of capacity rule extend to the Carling Cup, as it does in the FA cup?

If they take 3800, I am sure it will sell out!

 

[osgood]

f*** my boots
Away on holiday and gutted to miss Blackpool and Posh, now I miss Sunderland too, grrrrrrrrrrrr
Just have to hope its on the box, at least i'll be able to watch our 1st premiership scalp

join the club ! and hope its on sky

The local ales is going to be a real selling point this season.
People are thinking of travelling down because 'they have local real ales'
Love it.

It reminds me of that Peter Kay sketch where he talks about going all the way to Spain and seeing cadburys fingers in the shop & buying them!!

 

[Washboard Didgets]

Please please please let it be on WED 24th NOT TUE 23rd...

I'm in London on the 23rd entertaining a client at Gauchos. I'm on track for attending every home game and do NOT want to miss this! Second Prem team at the Amex in a month, how times have changed!!!

 

[bob monkhouse]

I wonder if the tickets will be discounted like the gills game - or will the club ramp up the prices as it's a premier league club ?

 

[homer]

Just what i wanted Sunderland or Newcastle at home the amex will be rocking.

 

[Goodfella]

Blackpool 20th Aug
Sunderland 24th Aug
POSH 27th Aug

silent treatment 28th Aug - 5th Sept lol

this is my fear - delighted it's a home tie mind , my bank balance is in tears already

 

[smudge]

I fly out back to work on that day, gutted. Great draw, they have a lot of new players to bed in so I'm sure there'll be some of their big guns up against us. Great following they have as well.

 

[Wilko]

I hope they keep the same prices. I am not sure too many will fancy paying over £20 in a week when we already have 2 other home games. Keeping it £15 should give us a bumper crowd.

I agree that £15 pounds is a FAIR price for this match...

 

[Turkey]

Fantastic draw, can't wait for this!

Suspect prices will be high as they know they'll sell tickets but would be nice to lower it given the three home games in a week, and possibly encourage more mackams down as well. Seem to recall they have a very good away following.

 

[Aseros]

I thought the cups had set prices anyway for tickets? Or is that just the FA cup?

 

[NUFC1892]

Hope Scunny crack a few skulls

Nice one

 

[Lord Bracknell]

so gutted that i am on holiday ffs

Holidays can be PLANNED. I'm going to miss the away game at Leicester City - but will get to see Siena v Juventus.

 

[dan-reilly-1991]

Literally so excited about this! (Look at my profile and you'll know why) Normally bring a large away following but dunno because of the circumstances of it being a long trip and midweek if we'll sell out. Im going up for the Mags game which is on the Saturday before on the 20th, what a week its gonna be!
