Messed it up, OI. Posted that one last week. S'posed to have been this one [Link]

CW- something like that. Game-weeks with no Prem stuff seem to be open house for Leagues 1 and 2.

Is the game on Sky because there are no Premier league matches until 22nd August? Anyone know

Nelson arms merton high street showing Huddersfield match live ,for those that haven't got sky or like a pub atmosphere

I'm impressed pete can still remember our 1950s primary school jokes ;)

Brentford might a sellout in the away end but don’t imagine they are desperate to watch us when they can see the top sides every other week

[Link]

I'd just like a nice new away ground. Brentford in particular could be a sell out. 25th or 26th I believe, although I guess some may be moved to the Monday or Thursday for the telly.

PW- not really, the likes of Crawley, Colchester, Cheltenham and SwinDon lost to Watford, Southampton,Charlton and Cardiff who they can’t be expected to compete with financially

It will be interesting to see how Exeter fare this season in League 2. They've had their own share of financial shenanigans and improprieties whether directly related to their relegation last season or not - they face the same challenge we do in that there's no one to put money in and fielding a squad seems to get more expensive each season.

How poor must the Southern Lge 2 sides be that only Walsall made Rd 2 (granted, Exeter may yet)?

Tottingham away with Surrey Bob in the home end?

Lets face it it's going to be a shit draw

on the rule changes - I went to Peacehaven to see Varndenians v Eastbourne Town (FA Cup) on Saturday. THe ref was strict on 5 second throw ins, fast sub changes and keeper clearances - the game was the better for it and I was on the way home well before 5 o clock

Please not Millwall or Cardiff away…. 🙄

Plymouth or Exeter away going to happen

I'm not defending VAR and I'm glad L1 doesn't have it. If you want to get rid of it then you need to stamp down on broadcasters or the biggest clubs setting up their own version of it to argue the toss afterwards.

That’s a good shout CW - can’t go to Leicester away in the league cos of the fixture date but could do a league cup game. Be a shame though to play their b-team in a half empty stadium.

Even if we got Leicester away it would be better than Boxing Day

Morning all. Feels almost inevitable we'll get Cambridge away this evening

Chelsea, Brentford, Fulham, Tottenham, Ipswich, Coventry, Millwall, Luton, Cardiff, Walsall, Charlton, Plymouth or Exeter City Peterborough, Watford, Cambridge United, Leyton Orient, Stevenage, Reading, Birmingham, West Ham, Leicester, Norwich, Southampton,

Absolutely Leddy and Tom Swig - happily accept the dodgy goals given against us (and the odd one given for us) to keep that instant celebration albeit with maybe a glance at the lino now and then.

And Leddrede is right, a goal should be celebrated in the moment.

The "big" clubs made VAR happen
