Tough gig but Rob Kelly’s knowledge may help.

Bit late for that now!

Tough draw not a good one for money or progression. Northampton away was though too and we managed that two years ago…

Sure he will be more than happy to spill the beans on The Latics. Never too late for that or to get one over them!

Aside from someone a league or two below at home for the chances of progression, I think that's one of the best draws personally. Short distance, somewhere I believe we haven't been, I'd say we'd take a few down there. Hopefully it will be a 3pm Saturday kick off.

Barrow at wigan carlisle at blackpool can see one getting moved

Not too far for fans so we should take good numbers there.
They are not pulling up trees in League 1. Hemel Hempstead took them to penalties in the first round.
Tough, but not beyond us to get something there.

Nightmare…..something on I can’t get out of for the Saturday.
A Sunday game would be ok though, although I’d have to battle a hangover

Good point. They won’t want both sets of fans at Preston station at the same time.

Tricky tie in that they’re a league higher so progression will take a bit of doing…but, on a purely selfish level, it’s just down the road for me so happy days!

Yes, Doncaster Rovers last season

Decent draw; tough tie but it’s a very easy one to get to and we’ll have a sniff of a result

Hope it’s a Saturday or Sunday. Not far. We should take a couple of thousand shouldn’t we.

I’d guess we’ll take about 1,200

I’ll go 1,700 then. Definitely over 1,000

Fleetwood v Luton
Blackpool v Carlisle
Preston v Wrexham
Wigan v Barrow

I’m certain if not TV the police will no doubt have the say to as and when the cup games take place
