There's two live games listed now in the link I posted. We're not one if them

Seen it listed on the BBC as being Tuesday 25th but nothing on the OS yet.

Hopefully they'll be cheap tickets again!

Date not on OS yet but listed on Notts Co site fixtures as Tuesday 25th 7.45

The date of Villa's second round Capital One Cup game has now been confirmed.

We were drawn to face League Two Notts County on home soil here at Villa Park.

The game will be played on Tuesday August 25.

It will have a 7.45pm kick-off.

The last time we faced County was in the FA Cup in January 1997 on home soil, a match we won 3-0 thanks to goals from Dwight Yorke [2] and Ugo Ehiogu.

This latest encounter will see the return to B6 of Graham Burke and the renewing of acquaintances for Jack Grealish, who spent time on loan at Meadow Lane during the 2013/14 campaign.

The League Two Magpies were relegated last term and are managed by Dutch coach Ricardo Moniz.

Villa have won the trophy five times - in 1961, 1975, 1977, 1994 and 1996.

Our ticket and hospitality details will be announced soon.

Interesting how WMP couldn't deal with Villa v ManUre and a couple of hundred EDL twats in Walsall on the same day, but can deal with these on the same night.

Villa v Notts Co
small heath v Gillingham
Walsall v Brighton
Bitters v Port Vale

Very pleased with this draw, and wouldn't mind seeing the manager mix the line up a bit here since we have a few more options and it will keep the first teamers (if there are such things at this point) on their toes.  Would give Bunn a go for example.

For "in the interest of enhancing the atmosphere" read; "in order to save a few quid on staffing costs"

They could go further and close the top tiers of the North, Witton and Holte. They'll be less than 20,000 there.

[London Villan]

£17 in the Trinity £12 everywhere else... Why??

£17 in the Trinity £12 everywhere else... Why??

It isn't.

Hoping for a line up like that, should be more than good enough.

[KRS]

Its too early to be resting players particularly when they need game time to gel...its a free hit that could build confidence and fitness so I'd hope TS doesn't rest any of the new guys for this one.

I totally agree.
Why doesn't anyone have to provide answers to situations like this?

None of these matches appeal to the Friday night TV audience in the Middle East.
