Giant killing on the cards there!!

Does that coincide with the start of the school year? If so most of our first team will be tired after there first few days at "Big School"

Tough game. Like any will be next season.

Giant killing? When was the last time we pulled of a giant killing? Just can't see it happening myself.

Oh! Somebody appreciated my attempt a humour then. Pusb

You think we can beat them then?

I think it is a big ask, i expect us to lose, especially taking on 2 teams at once with our ever younger and decreasing squad!!

Ooo D&R! Have Championship teams always been in the first round draw of this Cup?

When we held Burnley to a draw?

Any chance of this being played on a Saturday? Heard a rumour that if both clubs agree it can be moved.

Got makes who live in Upminster, Romford and Dagenham so this would be perfect for a day and night on the lash!

Fooking hope not, I've already got my Bristol Rovers train tickets....:thinking about:

I'm well placed to get to this game so i'll definately be going. I just bloody well can't wait for the season to kick off. As i've lived abroad for the last 9 years i'm gagging for the season to start, i'm counting the days down.
Being starved of Saturday matchdays for so long has been pretty awful,infact i've missed this much more than friends and family,(hope they don't see this), and to think i can start to watch the skyblues regularly again is so exciting.
Now the kids have grown up ,and one's even flown the nest,i have that majic phrase that most of us lose when we have kids, FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT, and i can pretty much go about my week in any way i want.Bloody fan-dabby-doozy.

Don't get too excited yet - I know for a fact that the FL are not allowed to stage any games in London during the Olympics, which may well prevent us from playing on the Saturday at Dagenham!!
