Erm... as we haven't made any summer signings yet or even played a pre season friendly... not sure we can assess the outcome of this tie?
Does it also put Exeter's pre season against QPR in jeopardy, if so, they can come and play us!

Same old, expected us to get them. We always seem to play them somewhere down the line. Just reiterates that we never get the bigger draws- we just cannot get past the lower teams; even when we do, we draw Crawley!

No chance (at the moment anyway). But let's see whom we sign.

To go or not to go to Swine-Town?

I wouldn't be so sure!

We (STFC) haven't got a team at the moment. Our playing budget has been slashed by half (to 2.5 million) and we are desperately trying to get rid of some of our over-paid players signed by Di Canio.

The team mainly consists of youth players who were playing with Billy Bodin a couple of years ago.

i will say with 100% confidence that come the start of the season and no matter who we sign, their team will still be comfortably better than our team.

Despite some of your odd ideas, you know more than enough about the game to know that this means two thirds of three fifths of **** all when it comes to the 90 minutes on the pitch.

Better teams beat worse teams usually.

Swindon away? Crap cup anyway.

Yes! Won't have to wait 9 hours to find out who we've drawn whilst I'm flying to the other side of the atlantic. Anyone local to me away will do. Brighton preferably.

9 hours to fly here? Who are you flying with, Pigeon Air?

Swindon it is then One more heroic 1st round exit coming up. Or maybe a result in favour???? U never know I suppose. Could go down the A420 for this one.

Pretty poor draw really but at least it isn't miles away.

Anyone know what sort of numbers we'll take to that?

If this were true, A we wouldn't bother playing the games, we'd just do a calculation of the 'best' team on paper and award them the money and B Ladbrokes would go out of business on the first weekend of the season.
