Any idea how many we’ve sold? Might be outnumbered…

Don't usually go to these matches, but thought it would be quite enlightening to see our new young guns up against a Holloway team!
Arrived at the ticket office 5 minutes after the tickets went on sale.
What area would you like to sit in Sir?
I'll sit in my normal seat please, its already been sold Sir. Walked out, SKY+ it is then.
I'm getting very temperamental in my impending dotage 😎

[Rjk]

so what are we thinking - assuming Ng and Robertson aren't back yet, something like

Turner

Kpakio fish Daland Mafico

king Turnbull

nyakuhwa Colwill Davies
Robinson

what exactly upset you? that they didn't keep it for you in case you decided to go?

[Armitage Shanks]

There's not much of the ground open. 1/2 canton and couple of blocks in the grandstand

[lincoln blue]

They used to, in the days when we were managed by football people, hold everyones seat for 24/48 hours before releasing them for general sale.
Five minutes? their avin a larf, but not my money!

How do I get my season ticket seat when they haven’t even opened the stand where I sit? It’s first come first serve and it’s been this way for this cup competition for years.

Colwill's played both full games, I imagine he'll be rested. Same for Kpakio, Spiers may get a go

yeah ideally both would be rested, not sure who would come on for Rubin, maybe Joel?

I suppose it depends how seriously BBM wants to take it, we could stick David Turnbull or Joel Colwill in there or we could see someone like George or Perrett from the youth side

Sit 2 seats over, view might be way better

alternatively, it might be an opportunity to try a 3-5-2

Rested? We are 2 games in.......

[Des Parrot]

Rested? We are 2 games in.......

I hope so, we have 7 games this month a not even enough players for 2 full teams. Availability for league games is far more important

According to the Swindon Advertiser:

"Swindon have lost their last ten Carabao Cup first-round ties

Cardiff have not lost to Town since 1995"

Oh dear

We've only played against each other 4 times since 1995, which was an FA cup game that i attended, and it was a bit tasty before and after, i drove up on my own and was attacked by this group of clowns while walking past a pub.

Maybe swap Colwill for Ashford and have Ashford wide, Davies up front, and Robinson at 10.
