Re: It's BURNLEY AWAY

Worst possible draw. Can't stand Burnley and their constant mediocre yo-yoing. They'll beat us because they're a step above and at Turf Moor, but worst possible draw.

Maybe it's a challenge and maybe we step up to it, and get a shock. If Grimsby is anything to go on tonight.

Not sure you could've drawn up a worse draw for us.

Not really. They’ve explained the reasons - it clashes with the two midweek dates the Champions / Europa league round are played -and in the grand scheme the league cup is last priority to the club teams competing in Europe.

Thought Chappers and the 2 pundits executed it well. Could have got very messy if Rod Stewart was in the studio.

Unglamorous, far away and a much better team than us.

Terrible draw all round. Still keen on going though

Re: It's BURNLEY AWAY

Not the best of draws.
They probably aren’t keen on it either.
Might be struggling when it comes around and wanting to rest players.

Re: It's BURNLEY AWAY

I think it’s a decent draw. We aren’t gonna win it, so it gives us a chance to gauge our progress. No extra time, so a decent, gritty performance and we could maybe take it to pens.

Usually we could suggest playing the kids but as thats already in motion, maybe we can sign a load of over 40s to play this one instead.

I was thinking of them more than us…
I get your point though :)

Don’t think we can complain too much after Swindon and Cheltenham at home.

God awful draw.

I like the new format. It gives lower league clubs a better chance of getting a big club.

That's true. Bit I think the reality is we will likely go out without a bang now. With no pay day, no trip to a big ground etc

Cest la vie!

Bit feisty up there that day, their fans on the pitch after the game goading us. Gilligan on the scoresheet, if I recall.

I've got some brilliant photos from that game - quite a day out.

Great video here:

I can remember Burnley's reserve players carrying a banner around the pitch before kick-off saying 'Thank you for your support, see you at Wembley' - I think they were in the Sherpa Vans final or whatever it was called then. They got short shrift when they came past our section. :hehe:

As I said, I've got some brilliant pictures from that trip. Loads of us on our bus were in blue and white face paint of various descriptions, lots were in fancy dress, the Whitchurch lads were all wearing t-shirts they'd had done for the occasion, etc. It was chaotic up there but great fun (different times, different times....).

Will it count towards the new Away points scheme? Asking for a friend!

Re: It's BURNLEY AWAY

Due to the European fixtures, the third round ties are staggered over two weeks - 15/09 and 22/09.

Burnley play Liverpool on Sunday 14th and we have our enormous EFL Trophy clash at Exeter scheduled for Tuesday 16th, so I'd guess the game will be played in the second week when neither team has fixtures.

I remember being in the away end and Curtis’ free kick but can’t recall any of that shenanigans. I guess it was so common it wasn’t notable 😂

The lad who drove us up, Sid, was, unlike us, a bit more upmarket. We had our overnight stuff in football type kit bags while he had his perfectly hung up in a suit holder on a hanger. We called in the services in the Midlands somewhere on the way home, Sid went to get something out of his ‘hanger’, was a bit difficult as he’d left it hanging on the railings outside the digs on Albert Rd:facepalm::hehe:
