chance of quite a tasty game

Fancy, Chesterfield home or away not bothered...

Fancy Rovrum at home , it's been a while since we last gave them a damn good spanking.
As much as I like Stanley, please God let's not draw them again.

thinking Morecombe

Away ? I hope not it's a horrible place.

to be honest, whoever we get, i just hope we manage a convincing win this year. given the shocking end to last season we're going into the next with virtually no forward/upward momentum, so lets hope we get a really good start this time around, even if it means banging rotherham at home

I know but we used to play them virtually every season before the early 90's . However bar the last 5 years they've usually outperformed us in the League............we've played them 85 times and they've won 43 of them to our 21.
Quite some catching up to do eh ? Trouble is we can't get them up to our level again to even things out...........how the mighty have fallen (in local terms that is).

So we play someone out this list right?
North - Unseeded

1. Accrington Stanley
2. Bradford City

Tell you what you are one clever lad lol must of learnt you that at school

when i were 14 and looking at a list that said seeded and unseeded i would most likely start talking about plants

Leeds garderners V Oldham Allotments society

We have got Tranmere at Home

guess thats ok but i would prefere to be away

A home game would have preffered a local team but beggars can't be choosers..

I was just confirming
Ok draw i suppose

I haven't got a problem with that draw especially due to the lack of home friendlies, as long as they aren't hatchet merchants like Acrrington were the other year
