[Archived] Carling Cup

[rovers1995]

Are Rovers in the draw for the second round tomorrow? If so, who does everyone want. Wouldn't mind Preston (shut them up about the pre-season FRIENDLY victory) or Burnley. Haha

[Tom]

I'd like exeter but they have to get past Ipswich first

[rovers1995]

Morecambe would be a good one, at least we can't get beat by Coventry

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Bournemouth are out so we won't get beaten on penalties again by then

Hopefully we'll get Southampton away, purely for selfish reasons, as that's only a short stroll from my house

The draw is tomorrow night at 10pm

Preston beat Stockport away 0-5, you may get your wish.

At home to the semis will do for me.

Exeter on a Tuesday night?! I'm all for new grounds, but that is a bit mad.

Preston at home would be good.

[Tom]

Exeter at home

My brother is an Exeter fan that's why

[Balwer]

Are we in the second round definitely? We finished tenth, is it the top 8/10/12 who get the bye till the third round?

[philipl]

Only the clubs in European competition get byes.

[Balwer]

Only the clubs in European competition get byes.

What about when we only have seven qualifiers for Europe? I think it's the top 8, regardless of whether 8th place gets a Euro spot.

[philipl]

You could look it up yourself but from good ole' Wikipedia-

Second round

All clubs playing in the Premier League, unless they are competing in the UEFA Champions League or Europa League, as well as any (Championship) clubs that may have been given a bye to this round, enter at this stage and join the First Round winners, although Manchester City were not exempt in 2008–09, having qualified for the UEFA Cup through the Fair Play league.

Three extra time shocks- Accy winning at Doncaster, Bradford knocked out Forest and Southend accounting for Bristol City.

[Seggie]

I quite fancy a competitive home game V Accy Stanley, I bet its been a very long time since the last one.

[Balwer]

Thanks philip.

When's the draw anyone?

[K-Hod]

Stanley home or away- as an Accy resident that would be ideal

[modes98]

MK Dons, Shrewsbury or Northampton please!

[Majiball]

Tranmere away would be sweet.

[Manchester Blue]

Rochdale away please.

[philipl]

Trips away to any of Leeds, Millwall, Sheffield Wednesday, Peterborough, Huddersfield and Southampton could be pretty uncomfortable and there are five Championship clubs this morning rueing their losses to unfancied opposition.

[roversmum]

Morecambe, please, would like to see their new stadium.

[Mattyblue]

Morecambe, please, would like to see their new stadium.

Same, safe standing areas behind the goals, much better than, say, Chesterfield's new all seater.

[heysham rover]

Morecambe, please, would like to see their new stadium.

Its really good, I was there last night.

[Ben-2000]

AWAY

Rochdale

Stanley

Morecambe

Nob End

[67splitscreen]

Gillingham away.

[jonv]
