Impossible (thankfully). They’re in the Northern bracket and we’re in the Southern.Originally Posted by Cowbridge Blue

Another lower league team at home for me. Build a bit of momentum, which our meek cup performances in recent years have impacted imo
A side from above us in the pyramid would be perfect and get some excitement for us to cause a giant killing. Milwall maybe?
Fulham away
Bromley home
Reading at home. CCS low attendance record set.
I'm not sure if you're being serious here or not.
Our potential opposition:
Cheltenham or Exeter would be just fine.
It'll be AFC Wimbledon away and those who go to the league game there won't be allowed a ticket.
Bring on Swansea Town at home.Our potential opposition:
Shit… I’ve binned my Port Vale receipt
Wolves at home, my prediction. Might even have a chance against them honestly, they're the worst team of the Premiership 17.
Weird to look at this list and consider we are now two divisions behind the likes of Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton and Fulham. Any of those four could now be considered an attractive cup draw when not so long ago they would have been regarded as bog-standard Championship opponents.
You see, those clubs have been run well, and apparently, that's not we've been going for these past 5 or so years.
Or, they just got lucky and stayed in the league.
If we had another season in 2015 in the premier league we could have solidified (and potentially still had been in red)
If, maybe, perhaps...
That’s a disheartening away fixture minefield!Our potential opposition:
Any team at home please.
Brighton and Brentford have some of the best youth scouting and recruitment in the UK, especially relative to their size. Bournemouth just sold 3 defenders for Ł150 million to Liverpool, Real Madrid and PSG. Fulham are the weakest of the four, but still have stable ownership and management. The ladder is being pulled up more and more at every rung given how hyper-capitalist and ruthless the game has become, which is why relegation now is so troublesome. Wrexham and Stockport are exceptions to a prevailing rule.
I’ve very little doubt in my mind, that Tans dream was for us to be an established premier league side, playing in red. and he’d never have changed back to blue if we’d done that.

Fortunately for the fans that were against the rebrand, (myself included), for probably the only time in his successful business life, he made a school boy error, in not getting in “Football” people to fulfil his dream, and still to this day, is making the same mistake.
If he had done it differently and we had become an established PL team such as Bournemouth, Brighton etc, we would probably have a full house most games now, all donned in red.
I honestly can’t say if I’d have abandoned them for the rest of my life, or in time eaten some humble pie and started to take an interest again.
I’ll never know now, and obviously can’t speak for yourself and others who took that stance.

Birmingham match tonight is showing on ITV4. I'm assuming they will show the draw.
