Do they usually have first round fixtures on television? Not that we've got any chance of being on.

I cant remeber the last time vale beat hartlepool. Im sure they will be pleased having to travel all the way down here for a night match.

6-0, FA Cup 1994? Martin Foyle hat trick.

[Andy Proctor]

you may well be right but all our meetings since 2003 have been drawn or lost.

Well we couldn't ask for too much more. Home against not one of leading 2 Division 2 teams. Long trip for them and fans midweek so poor low crowd. Still, should see us through and get further in competition to try and add to coffers some much needed cash.

Great draw. Still unsure as to how strong we'll be next season and wouldn't take anything for granted but we usually always get Championship teams in the first round. A real chance of a Premiership draw second round IF we get the job done! Stoke at home please.

Nah....it only counts in the FA Cup in my opinion. League Cup is crap.

[valetillidye]

it could have been worse

 

We could have had Crewe's tie

[Santa]

No we couldn't.

 

We were seeded.

[valetillidye]

it could have been worse if we weren't seeded

 

we could have had Crewe's tie

I disagree.

 

The League Cup is absolutely huge for us. One tie from a potential Premier League tie. Look at what Bradford did the other season! The draw has given us a great chance to create some early season excitement!

Good first round draw to be fair. :). a good chance of getting through to the next round hopefully premier league opposition either away or at home :).
