How Good Would This Be?

[Pendle Red]

How good would it be to get Newcastle in the Carling Cup 1st Round?

Play them at St. James Park w/c 10th August, media interest would be amazing real David vs. Goliath , the have's and the have not's

I suppose my purpose of this post was to hopefully help lighten the mood a little

But on a serious note a fixture like that could set the club up for the future, in terms of 50/50 on the gate receipts, sky coverage, merchandise

Plus putting the eyes of the footballing world on little ol Accy

At Least Dreams cost nowt

yes please!

I will have a bit of that Pendle! In fact I would love a bit of that!

Looking at it there are quite a few juicy looking ties we could land on. Leeds, Southampton, Charlton, but as you say the real deal would be Castle.

and the have not's

Bit of a kick in the teeth to describe them as have not's

Think it's a safe bet you won't get Southampton or Charlton

I think the draw takes place at 10am Tuesday 16th June. Let's hope it's a good one.

Shall we bet him £1m that we don't get Southampton or Charlton in the 1st round?

Surely we are not a team of gamblers

Can stick the million pound on not getting Newcastle or Middlesborough as well.

Middlesborough and Newcastle have both been given first round byes.

No 7, biggest club in the world has to be the best draw for you.

Does it matter who we get in the first round, seeded or unseeded. Either way, we aint gonna get a huge crowd for this trophy unless by some miracle we do what Burnley did last season and get to the semi's. Fat chance of that.
