Hopefully we'll have a home match against the likes of Burton or Morecambe.

Burton Albion - Is Pesch still in charge?
Carlisle United - not away, please!
Coventry City - half time guest of honour- Jimmy Hill!
Crawley Town - could be interesting.
Gillingham - no thanks.
Leyton Orient - ahah! Chance to avenge our FA cup defeat.
MK Dons - beaten them already.
Northampton Town - cobblers.
Nottingham Forest - how the mighty have fallen.
Stevenage - would be a good away crowd (from them) or an easy away for me to get to.
Walsall - I would love to play them again at the Cottage, memories of 1996.

The Club has been drawn away to Sheffield Wednesday in the second round of the Capital One Cup.

The game will take place during the week commencing the 27th of August, at Hillsborough. Ticket information and prices will be released in due course.

I doubt if the club is even slightly interested in cup competitions this season. It'll be a nice run out for the kids at Hillsborough. I hope it's on television, as I'd like to see Kasami play once this season.

The reserves should be able to beat Wednesday. I agree that it is always bottom of priorities but when you see a semi-final of Palace-Cardiff you think, 'We could win this one'.

That's the spirit  fp.gif

On the basis that Wednesday are a) crap, and b) not Burnley I fully expect us to win this like we did in the FA Cup a few years ago

Anyone got a rough idea of how much this away day would cost?
