League Cup draw thread - Swindon away (merged)

[Lady Whistledown]

Interesting Tie.

Could potentially be convicted drink drive killer Luke Mccormicks first competitive game back between the sticks !!

I doubt it, not unless Wes Foderingham gets injured between now and then.

I'm a bit "meh" about it, never liked going to Swindon as it's just an inexplicably crap town located in the middle of an otherwise glorious part of the English countryside.

Could have been a better tie. Still fancy our chances though against them.

 

[BHA96]

now with that draw, I would physicly cry if we are away for the first league game on the 18th which would result in my first game being in sept :'(

 

[Silent Bob]

Being the first game of the season hopefully our performance will be a bit better than it usually is against lower league teams in the cup.

The Gus and Paolo slapping match

I'm pleased for the Swindon inbreds, they'll possibly get a chance to say goodbye properly to Greer, as I think he was suspended the last time we played them at their place.Thye'll also be able to think up a witty little chant about what a sideways move it was for him.

Hopefully both clubs can agree to have the game on the weekend rather than mid-week.

There is something about Swindon? Everything about the place is just?...Well, naff & bland. Plenty of other towns have the same feel, but as you say, for the area, Swindon seems misplaced.

As for that stupid roundabout system?!......

Is this allowed? Would make it a much more attractive fixture to go to.

sky sport have stated that the league have said clubs could apply to have the game moved to the weekend before. But this would have to be agreed with both clubs.

Mate you dont have to be a rocket scientist to work out how to use a roundabout !!!! If you are finding it a bit difficult I suggest you park your car in the car park before the 'magic roundabout'

If thats to difficult drop me a PM and I will guide you when(if) you get here..



It really is not that hard.....

Well I hope we do this!

Gives us a whole week before the first league game of a hard season ( and of course means I can get to the match.. )

Hope Swindon haven't got a silly friendly arranged for that weekend...

What's bigger than watching Di Canio & Poyet going at it on the touchline?... Assuming Poyet is still here, you never know, someone might take him up on one of these jobs he keeps touting himself for soon!

lol, he will be at Glasgow Rangers v Queen of the South in August.

 

[Mackenzie]

Great draw :selfish:

Only an hour and a half drive.....yay me

 

[Basil Fawlty]

This could prove to be a potential banana skin for us, if we don't take it seriously.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

I want to go to Swindon on a tuesday night...........I live there..

Any dates yet?

me too!

I don't think it'll exactly be a bad thing if we were knocked out to be honest. Would rather focus on the league and the FA Cup.

Swindon have a friendley with Palace on Aug 8th....

What about Aug 11th?

 

[Ninja Elephant]

I can hear [MENTION=13055]Ninja Elephant[/MENTION] screaming with joy.

Actually, I am not. I don't really know how I feel about it, all things considered.

I just hope we smash them 5-0 and Greer gets all of them.
