7th November 2006. Southend 1 Man Utd (incl. Ronaldo) 0. Was on honeymoon in Tenerife and watched it in a bar called 'Beckham's'. Suffice to say there was only one cheer when Eastwood hit the back of the net.

Matt, Derby

We are Away to Newport.

I thought I read that Newport's pitch will not be ready until late August. Therefore I think the tie will be switched round to be a Home tie.

Yeovil or Newport at home please.......

Nearly....Newport (a)

yep... will be at home http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40288117

From the BBC Website:

"Newport will also play away from home in the first round of the Carabao Cup. In the event of Newport being drawn at home, the EFL has agreed to reverse the fixture."

Apologies Custard splat, posted before I saw your reply :)

**** sake, Newport isn't too far from me typical that they switch it. Was hoping to catch as many games as possible before I go away.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Oh well, so much for the 'regional' draw!

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Away to Newport hardly regional is it

 

[GNH]

I see that Col U have been drawn at home to Villa, nice for them but also their last game in the competition this year

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Happy with that , maybe get past the first round this year :hilarious:

Aren't you in Oxford? Not that close, you're about halfway between the two!

 

[Suffolk Blue]

200 miles and 4 hours travel between us and Newport (decades culturally!). Fortunately it looks like it'll be a journey they'll have to make rather than us.

30 minutes west of Oxford. I'm in between Oxford and Swindon, so it's only about an 1 hourish to Newport for me.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Confirmed by Newport as a home game due to their pitch being relaid. Good news. Good opportunity to get into the second round.

 

[kaymac]

Yep, saw that on BBC Sport yesterday. Must have been the worst playing surface in the league last season.

 

[mattitouk]

Newport at home is about as good as it could have gone, in terms of progressing to the next round.

Until we **** it up and go out the competition like every year since 2010!
