Southampton v Northampton has a certain symmetry to it.

 

[BlueJ]

Bit disappointed but should get our season off to a good start! Now to the big talking point, why do Newcastle and Middlesbrough get byes into the second round?

 

[Fish]

Surely tie of the round has to be either Exeter v QPR or Hereford v Charlton?

More than a bit weird we get Cheltenham again though. Whilst we might bemoan the crowd size at WR, we didn't exactly exe; ourselves last season - only just got 2,000 at RH didn't we?

 

[DTS]

Of **** - The Cheltenham Murder Squad will be out in force for this one. Already had three calls from there top boy saying they and the three thousand ticketless Leeds fans have mobbed up and are already waiting to pick of stragling Southend fans getting off at Cheltenham Park Way.

What a cruel twist of fate.

A fix, of course. Because it's in someones best interests that we always meet Cheltenham in the first round, right?
