League Cup 4th Round Draw - away to Swindon

[TaxDodger]

Why put Chelsea and Man United on telly? Does anyone really want to see their reserves play each other? Us and Swindon or Sunderland and Middlesbrough would have been much better games with four teams who are actually likely to be up for it.

because half the country support Man Utd,
 and yes they will want to see any Utd team rather than anyone else, its all about viewing figures, thats why in the last few years i think 10 or more every single Man Utd FA cup game has been televised.

its not going to change any time soon

£29 a ticket I'm led to believe.

That's shocking if it's true. £29 for a Division 3 club!

[Dave Cooper please]

£29 a ticket I'm led to believe.

Then they can ram it firmly up their collective arses.

Four quid more than their normal price.

[PeterWithesShin]

This is what Colchester are paying. £25 for a division 3 match is crazy imo.

Adults: £25
Senior Citizens (60+): £19
Young Adult (16-18, with proof of DOB): £17
Students with NUS Card (in advance only): £19
Juniors (15 and under): £12

I have never read a more delusional load of shite than on that Swindon forum.

They must be high.

[dave.woodhall]

Lovely people:

"Agreed. Two clubs of similar stature aren't going to appeal to the neutral."

"Mind you, this is probably the best draw we could wish if you ask a Villa fan. They are all deluded."

Does having a loonatic facist for a manager make you a big club or something?

[phantom limb]

Surely I can't be the only person who hopes that we beat them 8-0 and injure all of their players, manager and population

[dave.woodhall]

It's something I'd forgotten until the draw, but when we played them in the second division I've never seen a team turn up with so many of their own stewards and their attitude was that they were doing us a favour by being there.

[damon loves JT]

All I remember about them is conceding a hundred goals in one season.

[olaftab]

I won £557.46 that season on a pre season 50p accumulator bet based on Swindon being relegated, finishing bottom and conceding 100 goals. I was convinced that would happen as they conceded I think 64 in the Second division on their way to promotion.

[Ad@m]

Didn't they get stuffed 9-0 by Liverpool or United that season too?

EDIT: Just checked and that was Ipswich the season after.  They did get spanked 7-1 by Newcastle though and ship plenty of 5s and 6s that year.
