League Cup 3rd Round: Brighton going for a Burton

[Mackenzie]

Does anyone actually fancy a midweek midlands trip to the Pirelli?

Hell yeah!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

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 !

Sammi is taking the cup seriously.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Happy with that. Winnable but, against a lower league side it is always losable. But Sami seems keen to create a winning mentality and will play a decent side, if we suceed we move in to the last 32?

 

[northstandsteve]

I do aswell.

 

[GreersElbow]

Any east Midland 'gulls up for meeting up? I'm on my larry here in Lincoln, but really want to go to this.

The Derby InnA fine Public house .

Last 16. I round less than the FA Cup.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

I have that week off. New ground to visit. Shouldn't be a bedwetting binfest over ticket allocation and loyalty points. Looks a plan to me.

 

[MF'84]

Excellent draw for me, 15 minute drive

It's a decent little ground, standing for the away fans too.

We're part of the past 32 now.

We really should take the Carling Cup seriously - football is all about getting to Wembley and winning trophies.... Carling Cup is our best chance of that.

In other words, please don't start with Ankergren, even against Burton.

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

 

[shaolinpunk]

I imagine the club will try and get St George's Park as a base what with it being just down the road

 

[big nuts]

Not sure if that's a good or a bad draw....

A good draw as I'm seriously considering going as another chance to watch a game on the terraces and another new ground plus we would have a decent chance of a result.

 

[clippedgull]

So, Burton beat Wigan in Round 1, QPR in Round 2, and we are on the chopping block next! Proper team please Sami!

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

How long to get up there?

Have to use it when burton aren't !!

In agreement with this, a decent cup run will do the boys a world of wonders in regards to morale, a glamour tie at home will bring in plenty of ticket sales if priced properly and hopefully we can pull of an upset to draw back the crowds. Have to say, it's rather disappointing albeit expected, decline in attendance.

Don't Burton use it as a training ground so not sure they will want us there

 

[Bob!]

Will Wardy come over for this one?
