Hopefully we will be in it, the 2nd round draw is on Sky Sports on Wednesday evening straight after the Sheffield Wednesday v Sunderland game, for those interested. 13 Premier league teams will be in the hat, with the other 7 teams joining in the 3rd round.

Selfishly if we won I'd love Swansea or Bristol city away

wtf

Is it only the 1st round that’s regionalised?

Ok I've just looked it up it's regionalised in round 2 still. Sorry to all the red crossers that clearly look into more detail than myself.

Coincidentally they both have the biggest red light districts in the UK.

Hmmm

And you know this how?

So if still regionalised whats the biggest team we can get?

Quoted from mariner2000

So if still regionalised whats the biggest team we can get?

Leeds I'd have thought.

Newcastle too.

Someone crap at home then away in the North West at a giant in Round 3.

According to their fans Sheff Wed are absolutely MASSIVE  ;D ;D ;D ;D

So massive they're not even the second round like we are yet

If it’s just north and south , I guess Newcastle or Everton ?

Villa? Leeds, Newcastle as mentioned.

Quoted from supertown

Good shout.

Probably get Barrow away to make it a hatrick of Tuesday night games against them 🤣

What a clown 🤡

Quoted from mariner2000

I’d say someone like Leeds, Everton, Newcastle at a guess. Others possibly forest, Leicester, wendy, Sheffield utd, villa, wolves

Of we get an away draw it best be someone like Everton, Leeds, Newcastle etc…if not then anyone at home I guess…

The tea leaves have been read. It’s….Fleetwood away.

Quoted from ska face

The tea leaves have been read. It’s….Fleetwood away.

I see your Fleetwood and raise you Morecambe away…

I met your mum there

Shrewsbury, tranmere, barrow, Rochdale and Walsall have all simultaneously put Grimsby away on their forums

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Shrewsbury, tranmere, barrow, Rochdale and Walsall have all simultaneously put Grimsby away on their forums

And the feelings are mutual. I wanted Hull home or away, but now my preference would be Lincoln at BP or a good Prem / Championship away day.

Everton, Villa or Newcastle away for either of those grounds to be ticked off.  Even 'Boro or Sunderland as been to but not for football games.

I'm gonna call it as Rochdale at home.  

Villa away, only live just down the road

Quoted from Mariner93er

Villa away, only live just down the road

Same 👍

Shame Man Utd not in it yet, as could do with another winnable game to get to play the likes of Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal etc etc

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Shrewsbury, tranmere, barrow, Rochdale and Walsall have all simultaneously put Grimsby away on their forums

They must think about what we already know. We are a big club, waking up from the depths of the football pyramid.

Everton at home

Quoted from The Yard Dog

Everton at home

We've not lost to Everton for over 50 years!!

Quoted from The Yard Dog

Everton at home

I'd take that!

Can't do away games midweek, so selfishly I'd like a big home draw ;D

Quoted from Lost in Lincoln

I'd take that!

Can't do away games midweek, so selfishly I'd like a big home draw ;D

What about Lincoln?

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

What about Lincoln?

Would do I suppose ;D be closer  :P

I would have liked Hull City, but looking at the way Bradford celebrated last night after beating a much-changed Hull side, I would not mind Bradford bringing them back down to earth.

They celebrated like they had won the League Cup for some bizarre reason.

A slightly better than a 1 in 4 chance of a Prem draw.

https://mobile.twitter.com/Carabao_Cup/status/1557306059924115456

I'd take lincoln.

Gotta have a winnable game to get the big boys in round 3 and that extra TV money.

Leeds away.

9 plays 22 is my guess

Quoted from Poojah

A slightly better than a 1 in 4 chance of a Prem draw.

https://mobile.twitter.com/Carabao_Cup/status/1557306059924115456

That's probably the only number 9 we'll get this season  ;)

We can’t have had a premier league club at home since Newcastle in 2005.

Surely about time?

Spurs?

Quoted from tanga_the_indestructible

Spurs?

Beat Spurs then lost to Newcastle in the next round

For those without Sky, is the draw on any other channels or on the radio?

Quoted from Poojah

https://mobile.twitter.com/Carabao_Cup/status/1557306059924115456

Newcastle away probably best from a cash perspective, they’re bound to become the darlings of sky because of rich owners, plus they’ll have 25k+ even against a league 2 side.  To progress I would think Rochdale at home.  Whoever it is the reward will be better than winning the FA trophy.

Leicester away for me, work right next to Leicester, with a load of Leicester fans and only half hour away for me. Failing that barrow or Rochdale at home

Hoping someone can type quick to give us not watching it a real time update

Can watch it live on YouTube at 10pm mate.

https://youtu.be/fzG5avzM2UM

Anyone at home for me.

If we get a big away day it would be good at a ground that will still see a big crowd. Maybe Leeds

I'll go Peterborough away

Quoted from Mighty_Mariner

Can watch it live on YouTube at 10pm mate.

https://youtu.be/fzG5avzM2UM

Legend- thank you!!

No sound for me

I want Everton or Leeds or Newcastle at home. Come on

Nothing happening on that link and can't find it on youtube

Quoted from jaygy

Nothing happening on that link and can't find it on youtube

Southern section done, just starting  northern

Grimsby v notts f

Take that Forest at home

Home to Notts Forest, lovely stuff

Oi oi.

Well chuffed with that - could've been a tv job but there's some other cracking ties too tbf.

Good draw that. Beat them

Thats a class tie tbf

Decent game that…

Get in

And we've paid Fenty off! Get it on tv we need a bigger ground!

Happy with that!

Nice. I fancy us against them

Great draw, should be a good match and their support will probably bring a few

Happy with that, thought we was going to draw Stockport or Barrow

Dean Henderson in goal for them maybe

Great draw, will we still get a 💩 ref?

Great draw for us

Wonder if Dean Henderson will be in goal against us?
Great Draw, get them temporary seats ordered!

Pleased with the draw but will be in Turkey so will miss the match and hopefully it will be on Sky so I can watch while enjoying a cold one.

Brilliant draw! Really pleased with that

Good draw. Both teams like to play should be a good game.

No Utd away for us this year then (55 years and counting, unless we do these tree fornicators) but should mean a full house and possibly live on the telly. Nice one

Great draw. Probably sell out. Hendo returns but feel like this town team playing with no fear and may surprise the prem newcomers.
Bring it on and another nice payday

Happy with that, Forest should bring 1500+, doubt they’ll put a full strength team out so we have a chance.

Quoted from immariner

No Utd away as per but should mean a full house and possibly live on the telly

We couldn’t draw Man Utd as they don’t come in to it until the next round…

Quoted from aldi_01

Another busy week for the office staff

Quoted from Bristol Mariner

Next round then

One of a small handful of teams I’ve never seen us play.

I’d fancy us against their shower too…

Quoted from immariner

Already edited it. Knew some quick draw pedant (tongue firmly in cheek) would think I meant this round. We shouldn't win it but ya never know (Kalalaaaaaaa)

Quoted from bradzmilne

...And this week's lottery numbers are  :P

Good draw. That pesky "Football Fortune" strikes again

UTM

Well, if they do come with a mixed team i reckon we have a real chance, i know recently they played Notts Couinty and only drew 2-2, presumably with a mixed team , so bring em on!

Forest have won it 4 times. Only Villa of the sides in the draw have won it more. Bring it on!

Good draw big gate and a chance of a win if they rest a few 1st teamers.

Last time I saw us play Forest at home we were top of what is now the championship they fought hard for a 0-0 draw.

After witnessing the shíte their u23s turn out in the form of Danny Preston & Virgil Gomis, I’d fancy our chances against their stiffs.

It'll definitely be a mix of Forest reserves and youths, most clubs don't care about cup competitions anymore, even clubs at our level. I wonder if Jesse Lingard had a clause in his rumoured 200 grand a week contract that he doesn't have to play against any club below the Premier? The games's gone.

Still hope it's a full house, on telly and a giant killing mind.

Quoted from Tommy

There's still the FA Cup as well

This is also true. I think I had visions of beating someone like Rochdale comfortably at home in the next round before finally getting that draw at the Theatre of Screams. Town/Man U must be up there for the record number of years clubs have spent together in the football league without having played one another. And some mammary inevitably bangs on about it every season (my turn). I imagine they're just as keen for it! 😂

Anyway, Forest is a cracking draw,, really looking forward to it. Living in Lincoln, got a few mates who are Forest fans so the build up should be decent

Last time I saw us play Forest in a competitive game, it was away at the City Ground and the Paul Creighton goalkeeper bloomer.

Hands up who was there? And what was the year?

I know prem teams don't take cups seriously these days but I doubt they will play lasses ;)

Quoted from DaleH

Last time I saw us play Forest in a competitive game, it was away at the City Ground and the Paul Creighton goalkeeper bloomer.

I was there, ended up 5-3 to Forest right? Possibly 1993, maybe?

Quoted from DaleH

Last time I saw us play Forest in a competitive game, it was away at the City Ground and the Paul Creighton goalkeeper bloomer.

Hands up who was there? And what was the year?

Yeah I was. Lost 5-3 didn't we? 1993 I think when the backpass rule had just been introduced.

Am I right in thinking it was a viciously-struck backpass from Futch? Well, I say viciously-struck, but I actually mean gently-rolled.

Think there was a bobble!

Can remember when a team associated with Forest scouted players from the area. Can't remember the name of the team but it had religious connotations.

Ace draw, looking forward to it.

It was Notre Dame run by Father Cannon - they had links to Forest apparently and a couple of players ended up there for trials . I played for them a few years but my skills were not quite good enough for Forest  :( :(

We’ve played Manchester United 42 times in the league, and once in the FA Cup. The problem is that the last time was in 1947/48 so for most people it feels as though we’ve never played them.

And I bet we still lost in Fergie time !

I'm still waiting for Town V Southampton to check off my list .

Don't know if this was mentioned but on Tuesday there were 9 Championship teams who were drawn against lower league opposition. ALL 9 lost. That can't have happened ever before surely.

Only Leeds & Wolves from the premiership teams drawn at home the rest have away ties.

Quoted from DaleH

Well I was there (lived in Boston at that time) and I'm guessing 92-93?

They celebrated like they had won the League Cup for some bizarre reason.

Just a massive weight lifted from their shoulders. We haven’t started the league as expected, the coupled with losing to Barrow on the 97th minute, the lads needed a decent performance and their first win.

Nothing wrong with celebrating a win against a decent Hull team.

If you want to see a proper celebration in this competition, you only have to go back to 2013 when we reached the final.

Quoted from Exiled in Leicester

   As was I.

Duncan Mckenzieplayed for Notre Dame and went from there to Forrest

Does anyone remember a post lady called Mrs Dale ?
She organised young boy footballers and some of them went on to join Notts Forest via Notre Dam, she had a son called Martin and a cracking player called Lee Young who I believe turned Pro. She was a wonderful woman who was passionate about football.

FFS I can't stay quiet any longer,it's bloody NOTTINGHAM Forest that you are playing not chuffing NOTTS Forest (wallbash)

The good thing about calling Notts Forest “Notts Forest” is it annoys both sets of fans from either side of the Trent.
At least we don’t have to play Nottingham County this season.

I suppose it’s the equivalent of every fckin wnker south of Notts assuming we’re Yorkies.

Now that really does kidney stone my urethra.

My grandad is a Forest supporter and fears the worst. Been coming with me to town games for the last season and a bit so need to sort out whether he's sitting with the away fans or with me and my son 😂
