July 27, 201610 yr My sister lives in Gloucester and her best friend works for Cheltenham Town, the club are absolutely furious and were told last week they would be in the Southern draw, they are now threatening to pull out of the competition which will mess our group up. Surely these "regional draws" should be split 4 ways
July 27, 201610 yr Draw done behind closed doors , no dates for games and no venues announced , load of old bollocks. The group matches are in weeks beginning 29/8, 3/10 and 7/11. (if it falls right could be at Cheltenham on Wednesday then Swindon on Saturday). last 32 w/c 5/12, last 16 9/1, qf 23/1, sf 20/2, final 2/4. Bit tricky if a club is in last 16 plus league cup semis!

Match Day 1 – w/c 29th August 2016 Bolton Wanderers v Everton Match Day 2 – w/c 3rd October 2016 Bolton Wanderers v Blackpool Match Day 3 – w/c 7th November 2016 Cheltenham Town v Bolton Wanderers
July 27, 201610 yr should play this behind closed doors, absolutely zero interest in playing premier league reserve teams. Cheltenham is local to you?
July 27, 201610 yr Cheltenham is local to you? I was referring to the Everton game, playing premier reserve teams is the beginning of the end!
July 27, 201610 yr Blackpool at home will be the lowest ever attendance at the macron. By a fucking mile.
July 27, 201610 yr Couple of interesting fixtures in the groups; Millwall v Luton, Grimsby v Sheff United (after weekend just gone), but its a disgrace of a competition with these "elite" clubs in. Boycott.
July 27, 201610 yr Newport Swansea, Hartlepool Sunderland Couple of local ties for us 139 and 187 miles to go with Wimbledon at 215miles.
July 27, 201610 yr Thought the plan was league one and two teams plus premier reserves. So how are Derby and Reading in it?
July 27, 201610 yr Loads of Prem teams declined the invite so they had to dig a little deeper to find their elite clubs...
July 27, 201610 yr So it's a tournament that teams refuse to enter and others are open to invite Surely it's got to be scrapped next season
July 27, 201610 yr My sister lives in Gloucester and her best friend works for Cheltenham Town, HBATT?
