League Cup 2nd Round - Wigan Athletic (H)

[cdbearsfan]

Ties to be played week commencing 21st August. As we are at Bristol City the following Friday, I'd imagine our game will be on Tuesday 22nd. If we draw Grimsby it will be later as their rearranged First Round game against Derby is the same week as the Second Round.

Draw to be made after Bury vs Sunderland, tomorrow night.

Newport at home. I owe those twats for 1986.

[cdbearsfan]

Any of the League Two sides bar Grimsby at home (as I can't be arsed waiting ages for our tie).

If we are at home at least us season ticket holders get to use our free game.

 Millwall.  We owe them one big time for the 0-1 freezathon Shittufest.

[brian green]

 Even at their place.  Five minutes walk home.

[Richard]

It's going to be Small Heath

[cdbearsfan]

We never win at Millwall. That would be a disastrous draw. As an away tie against a Championship club is, quite literally, the worst tie we could get, I'm not sure why anyone would choose that option, regardless of how close they live.

And we lost 2-1, not 1-0. Unless I'm mistaken.

[Richard]

Did anyone else read the list of seeds before coming to us and think how the hell are they all in the division above us !? Depressing times.

[cdbearsfan]

It's even worse when you're typing the list of seeds.

[QuintonVilla]

MK Dons away

[cdbearsfan]

MK Dons away

What allocation would we get?

[PeterWithesShin]

A bazillion.

[cdbearsfan]

A bazillion.

Leeds would sell twice that.

[AV5nobs]

Anyone away, preferably SHA.

[cdbearsfan]

Again, that would be a terrible draw.
