Shit draw for midweek,.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Happy to go out

 

[pusbccfc]

Bristol City away twice in a week ffs

 

[skybluelee]

When was the last time we actually won a League Cup game?

 

[Skybluecol]

Happy with that being as I'm on hols on Cornwall at that time.....only a 2hr drive!

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Probably the worst possible draw seeing as we’re playing them in the league in August. Classic.

Feels like Man Utd 2007

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Away too, the only benefit is that I’ve not Ashton Gate yet and there’s 30 points in offering.

Cornwall to Bristol is not a 2 hour drive in the summer holidays! M5 madness.

Getting Sheff weds deja vu

 

[procdoc]

We do... Northampton, against this opposition, but the pitch was more Blackpool beach.

 

[Jonny]

Boring. Wouldn't miss it for the world!

 

[rexo87]

i quite like Bristol. Couple pints in the sun by the river followed by a stroll up to the ground to watch us lose in the 1st round for the 500th season running

 

[ThievingScally]

Decent for me - but not sure I'll get a ticket.

Had to sit in the home end for AFC Wimbledon last year

TSx

Be a decent allocation tbh , il go in the league but not in the cup

Same here. Will go to the League game. Not sure I can face the M4 - in Summer - twice in one week.

 

[pusbccfc]

Reckon they'll give us 4000 for this and maybe a smaller allocation for the league game.

Not sure we'll sell it but if people want to get to Luton away in April, they need to go to these type of games...

MK Dons away during Covid.

Will certainly help those who have a low points tally.

I might go purely for the 30 points

Cornwall to Bristol is not a 2 hour drive in the summer holidays! M5 madness.

A midday drive on a Tue or Wed shouldn't be too far away from a 2 hour drive with bit of luck. Will be north of Cornwall too so ideally placed.
Thought I'd be missing this completely so I'm not having any negative thoughts about the travel as the wife isn't happy about it as it is!

Luton away will be 1500 pts minimum

 

[GaryJones]

I wouldnt be that unhappy if we went out in the the first round and get knocked out of the FA Cup 3rd round if it helps us get into the play-offs.
The FA Cup run really screwed our Play-off chances last season IMO.

I'm surprised the league cup is still around especially with all the fixture congestion. Have no interest in it and hardly ever get beyond the initial round.

 

[Noble]

Will be a good early opportunity to see some of our new depth get 90 minutes at least..

 

[ccfcricoh]

Luton away will be 1500 pts minimum

and the rest i think - points tallies are only going up now we are out of the Covid year for points, so i can easily see this being 1600/1700+, especially with only 900 or so tickets!

 

[Potbellypig]

It's either happy to go out early or get through to the QF minimum. Anything in-between is wank.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Bristol City Away

Boring

 

[skybluecam]

Exactly what I said last year

Watching £10m+ worth of new strikers fail to score against League Two Wimbledon wasn’t exactly the greatest experience ever

I was going to say 1600 but someone mentioned we're getting 1200 due to the increase of attendance they had for the PL last year still being in place....I'm a few hundred shy from 1500 so not a game for me

For those who drive be aware Bristol has ULEZ zone.

I agree on the League Cup, but not the FA Cup. Quite happy for MR to use the game to give the squad a run out as per previous seasons.
