Woohoo! We finally get our free home cup game!!!

[Holte132]

Can't go. Does anyone know if I can use my freebie at another home cup game, or does it have to be this one?

Since when has Newport been in 'the North' ?

Well, it's in the northern hemisphere.

Something to do with not being able to play @ Home and West Ham being in same position

[cdbearsfan]

Hopefully it'll be on the Tuesday, as we have Bristol City on the following Friday.

They should have just had one red and one white for home and away and put them back in each time to guarantee it was 50:50. By removing a ball each time your odds were changed by what had gone before - which isn't right.

Clearly it's not and not sure if you are being serious but in order to devise a north/south and seeded draw with equal numbers these anomalies appear. This is why Burton (not seeded) are in South section whilst we (seeded) are in north when geographically Burton is some way north from us.

Is this game free for season ticket holders ? I know that was the plan last season.

[cdbearsfan]

The Burton anomaly was to ensure an even number of Northern and Southern clubs in both the seeded and unseeded groups.

Newport were in the North to avoid being drawn to play West Ham... as both clubs need to play away as their stadium/pitch are being changed.

Go with this one don't chance your luck.
I am taking this one as might end up with no freebie.

I think it was confirmed that it would carry over from last season. Not sure if "new" season ticket holders would be eligible... I hope so. Be nice to get a reasonable crowd for a cup game.

Literally can't go! I'm on holiday in Italy that week!

I can't believe anyone would choose a trip to Italy instead of Wigan at home in the second round of the LC.
