[McClarky]

Carlisle away please.

[bazza]

M K Dons, wherever.

But I bet it's Chelsea again.

[Bobby G]

Ill take MK Dons at Ewood and we can loan then Andrews for old times sake as well.

Otherwise, give me Burnley at Ewood. Id love it.

[jonv]

Barrow @ home

[Stuart]

Just an easy home tie against a minnow please, ideally Lincoln City. We'll probably get a tricky one like Brum or Boro though.

[1864roverite]

Had a dream last night that it was Notts County away.

[OhmiBRFC]

Staines away, so we can go visit Ali G!

[tonygreenbank]

Mystic Meg says we`re going to the North-East! Boro,Sunderland or Geordies!

[Amo]

Ipswich Town.

Heard it here first.

[mellison24]

We want games with some kind of stigma attached. My choice (in this order):

Burnley - local derby.

MK Dons - we hate Ince and want to destroy his side.

Lincoln City - welcome back Chrissy Sutton!! (I believe academy old boy Jamie Clarke plays for them too?)

[jonv]

actually, the MK DONS trip sounds a treat

[American]

MK-Burnley, who do we hope wins that?

[Stuart]

MK Dons against Burnley

Villa away - could have done without that!

[American]

Villa away.

[Plastic Head]

5-0

[cn174]

boring!!

[BRFC1995]

Villa away.

rubbish draw........wanted liverpool or united at ewood, away to villa won't get televised, already don't care about that match.

[Steve Moss]

MK-Burnley, who do we hope wins that?

MK, as last I heard they have a Rover with them on loan.

[John]

Tough draw, damn.

[Plastic Head]

Do we have to play this game or can we give them a bye.

Maybe we can send a team of stiffs, has-beens and donkeys.

Oh, thats the first team.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Tough game but winnable on the day, Villa aren't as good as some people make out.

Would have preferred an easier fixture, but i'd rather play Villa than Le Arse, Chelsea, Liverpool or United.

[Plastic Head]

Tough game but winnable on the day, Villa aren't as good as some people make out.

You're right there....we beat them.

[American]

Some pretty weak draws for Fulham and Spurs, so hoping that there will be cheap tickets available.

[Plastic Head]

boring!!

Not as boring as Wigan v Hull.

I think I will go to Stockport County or Torquay v Brighton.
