Sorry to annoy you all further but we're about to know our first opposition of the season shortly.

Cup upset specialists.  Do well to win that.

The closet Villa game I've ever been to in 45 years! Only 8 miles away for me.

Would have liked a home draw but a chance for some of the younger members of the squad to show what they can do.

Blimey that's a tough draw....... we can`t be expected to compete with the likes of Yeovil :)
Do they still have a sloping pitch? If so, SB can get his excuses in early
Seriously though, it will be a good tie to blood some youngsters

I imagine we’ll be using league games to blood our youngsters next season.

Chuffed for Dorset. He covers more ground for Villa than a Milner does in an entire career.

Just checked how far it is to Yeovil for me. Surprised that Google is quoting over two hours.

Not sure but don’t we have Ron Saunders in common?

I thought he managed them in between his stints at Tonbridge and Oxford.

Just checked on Wiki and it confirms he managed Yeovil between 1967 and 1969 and then moved to Oxford.
