Carling Cup 2010/11 - First Round Draw made

[Chris Rabz]

It might not be a bad idea to just have one thread for both of the domestic cups to discuss the games that don't involve us, and I'm sure a mod can change the title as we progress through the competition.



The First Round of the 2010/11 Carling Cup was made yesterday and the main fixtures that stand out for me personally are a local clash between Stockport County & Preston North End, Portsmouth come down to earth with a bump following their relegation with a trip to Stevenage Borough - who last year were four divisions below in the Blue Square Premier. Also there's a localish tie at Carrow Road as Norwich City host Gillingham. The ties will be played the week commencing 9th August.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put the whole draw on here for copyright reasons but it is available here:

Why does a side who got relegated from the premier league always end up with a team that has just been promoted to the football league.

Lets hope Bury make the 2nd round for once so We can play them.
