Fulham would be good. Or Palace.

It must be quite exciting for you Albion fans as it's not that often you get this far in the Carling Cup. A 2nd round tie at Selhurst Park will be like a cup final to you. We are due to give a team a good hiding so fingers crossed Palace V Brighton comes out of the bag !

75% of those sides look appealing.

Hardly a cup final mate. Cup finals are usually played at half decent grounds in decent surroundings. That rules Selhurst and Croydon out straight away.

I don't want to play Palace away anyway, just imagine the queue's at the doctors surgery's when we are waiting for all our jabs before traveling to the disease ridden shithole of yours.


Ha-ha, and you've got a picture of a Brighton fan on your avatar!!

They're the seeds, the ones in bold I'd be happy with.

In that case I want Man City.

makes us work harder for the game!

 

[bellsize seagull]

another cheeky home game or Fulham away !

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

We are one of the 24 unseeded clubs that will meet one of the seeded clubs listed above.

How does the home or away part work?

 

[chez]

You just know Burnley away is coming up.

Or Stoke.

done on a seperate draw apparantly

 

[Trigger]

Cheltenham

 

[clippedgull]

They do a draw BEFORE the main draw to determine whether the seeds will be at home or away. So, for example, Blackburn get draw to play at home in the first draw. Then, if we draw Blackburn tonight, we're automatically away to them.

I just can't see the point in that!

 

[footychick]

Swansea away - then I could go
