League Cup 3rd Round: Brighton going for a Burton

[Mowgli37]

I was thinking the same thing. Swansea v Everton will be one i'm sure.

BORING! I really don't get why TV companies insist on using cup coverage to show match-ups we see already twice a season, just for the sake of a bit of extra cash. The Cups are all about the smaller teams trying to cause an upset. I remember when we played Arsenal in that absolute corker of a match two seasons back, they ignored us and they chose Stoke vs Manchester City instead

That Arsenal match was chosen for broadcast internationally though.

100% this - last season going to the cup final even to lose to City was much more important to me as a fan than staying in the premier league, that 1 day out was such a better feeling then ever been "safe" on the final day of the season

Maybe it's early but maybe because no one cares but whilst I agree with you I can't for the life of me remember who got to the final with city . That's half the prob with the fa cup final now . It's no longer ingrained in the publics mind

Ah I never realised, cheers

Burton charged £15 for standing and £18 for seats for QPR game. Likely to be same price for us.

Wednesday would suit me and my mates better.

I am absolutely gutted by this draw. Burton is only a 45 minute drive for me, but the in laws live just down the road from the Stadium. They have been saying for years that if/when Brighton play at Burton they'll go with me. So far, so good.

Problem is, the other half is due to give birth to our first child that week. Therefore, I think I'll be missing it.

plus 400 seats for the old folk

Is it just the elderly who make use of the seating then?

We're doomed don't both Wigan and QPR play in blue and white?

 

[Braders]

REALLY hope it's a Tuesday game - new ground and should be a good evening.

Our game is on the Tuesday, so I suspect you're going to be disappointed......

No, its over 2 legs at respective clubs grounds.

If your joining date wasn't shown I'd suggest you were a JCL with such a rash statement. How many times have we seen the Albion fall to lower opposition - it's something of a habit !

First match longer ago than I care to admit. Said it was winnable. Not that we will win it.
