You can just see it being Leicester away, can't you? Ah well, another "new ground" thanks to Hereford United!!! :roll:

Financially Leeds at home would be the plum draw for the club I think. The board could expect a bumper crowd, and a large away following (like them or loath them, Leeds fans travel in great numbers). The club could do with some money after two crap home league gates (lowest gates in the football league on the respective days), which is possibly reflective of the times but like many I wish it could be a lot more.

Also there seems to be a large number of Leeds fans that live locally, which I've never understood but its all worth the same whne they are paying to get through the gates.

However I'd like Leicester or Leeds away. Two famous clubs and big grounds that I have never been to and ones which I never thought I would following Morecambe only a few years ago. Either or both would look good against the likes of Wolves, PNE, Sheffield United and Forest which have all been visited in the last two seasons.

If its a home draw, :shock: well its got to happen some time, Leeds for the money, but also for the atmosphere and extra interest that a game against one of the so called bigger clubs generate.

There certainly are a fair few Leeds supporters in the area, including my next door neighbour.

If not then Bury or Rochdale at home.

Away at Leeds would be good though, having said that Rotherham will probably go and beat them tonight.

Leeds full stop for the money.

A part of me would like Leicester at home as my mate is a Leicester fan and it wasnt long ago he was bragging about them being in the top flight. When they went down to L1 I said to him that we could be playing on level terms within a season. He laughed. :twisted:

I think this is a legacy of them being a top flight club [albeit a while ago now] plus a pretty good rail link to Leeds. I grew up with a fair few Leeds fans who used to go over on the train to watch them ; and bless them they seemed to have stayed loyal much to their credit

I think either Leeds or Leicester at home would bring Sky TV knocking at our door, which would be good as I dont think we benefit financially from this competition till the end???

Thats 11 doormen - 5 front, 5 back and one for Sarney :lol: :lol: :lol:

If we get a home draw against Leeds it would be really good to see a crowd of over 2000 for once :o :o

Wouldn't mind any draw home or away apart from away to Rotherham - if I wanted to sit in a freezing sports arena I'd go to Salt Ayre on my nights off
