Did anyone know that we had already been drawn away this morning? Only issue was which seeded team we'd be travelling to? Very strange and confusing draw on TV imo.
 

I hope Jags has gone to the Arse by then, Id be gutted to see him play against us.
 
Its ok guys I have heard their number 6 is a bit suspect :-)
 
Good draw from a financial point of view. Last year in the second round they beat Hudds 5-1 at home with 28,901.

And the time before that when they were at home in the league cup nearly 28,000 watched them against Luton (2006/7).

So 28,000 x average of £20 = £560,000 divided by 2 = £280k each! Surely that can fund McDonald???

This also means we'll play five away games in August :blink:
 
Could be a decent one in a financial sense but it would have been nice to see us get a little further than round two.

Suppose you never know though, maybe the unrest of their fans over their lack of investment in the team (sounds familiar) could unsettle them a bit and we could shock them. Especially if we keep winning until then and go in to it with a bit of confidence.
 
Well organised as Everton are, they are stagnant. They have had only one signing i think. could be a good night.
 
I went to bed before the Pig's game was finished so didn't know the draw. Just hoping we play them Wednesday night as it is on the tbc fixture list I've got... Thursday night we're meant to be down in Yeovil :)
 
Decent enough draw from a money point of view. Could be interesting if we remain unbeaten and take some momentum into it. Would have quite liked a packed Bramall Lane or an easy draw to ensure us getting a little further.

The Draw seemed a complete joke to me.
Someone yesterday morning could have sat in an office with a peice of paper going, don't like them = away, like them = home

Expenses are paid out of the revenue pot, before the money is distribited

Can't remember exactly what expenses they are, but i think it includes Police, Stewarding, Hotels, Travel etc.

The final total paid out won't be anywhere near 280k each. (Based on those attendance figues/prices)
 

nice trip to go out of this competition with , unless they disrespect us and play their reserves
be nice to return to Goodison

on a lighter note Ive found a cure for insomnia
if you need help I will post you a dvd copy of Wednesdays game with Blackpool , I fell asleep in 12 minutes
 
Anyone know how that draw worked???? I see Scunny got Newcastle at home??

I've just had a quick squizz to see what happened but can't find anything, but based on the draw and a bit of analysis:

- 13 teams joined the 2nd round draw but there are 24 ties

- So they created an extra 11 seeds based on last season's league positions but took out Birmingham who are in Europe and obviously Blackpool, Hull and Ipswich who all lost in round 1 - the seeds go down to Bristol City in last year's Championship (e.g. so not Donny)

- There are also the 5 postponed R1 matches but they seeded the higher finishing team where it applies, i.e. West Ham (v Aldershot), Bristol City (v Swindon), Reading (v Charlton) and Watford (v Bristol Rovers) so you could get a R2 tie between 2 non-seeded teams

- They then did a pre-draw for the 24 non-seeded teams on a simple home or away basis and there are 12 away and 12 at home so I assume it's on a 50/50 basis

- They then drew the seeded teams to match the already drawn home or away non-seeded teams

Phew - couldn't live without working that out!
 
I think Sheffield United could beat Everton in the 2nd round of the carling cup, as im not sure whether Everton actually care about the Carling Cup as i would say Everton's priotery this season is to be qualifying for Europe so it could be a weakened Everton side & Sheffield United could be on a run & high in confidence by then as on paper we really should win our next 3 games against brentford, walsall & tranmere (no disrespect to those sides).

also theres always upsets in the cup like who would have thought in the 1st round of the carling cup that Barnet & Macclesfield could have gone away to 2 championship sides and beat them comfortably
 
Everton haven't got enough players in their squad to pick a weakened side have they?
 
Ticket news: http://www.sufc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10418~2417977,00.html

Tickets for United's Carling Cup second round tie at Everton go on sale to season ticket holders on Saturday from 12noon.

The Blades were drawn against the Premiership Toffees in Thursday night's draw. The match will be played at Goodison Park on Wednesday 24 August with an 8pm kick-off.

Prices for the game are £16 Adults, £12 Seniors and £8 Juniors.

A 20% discount has also been secured for season ticket holders with tickets only £13 Adults, £10 Seniors and £6.50 Juniors.


Six wheelchair tickets and ambulant disabled tickets are available at the normal adult match ticket price with carers tickets free of charge.

3,000 tickets will initially be available with the option to take up to another 2,800.

Due to the short amount of time available to sell tickets, loyalty points will not be used and the Club are keen to make tickets available to fans as soon as possible.

Tickets will therefore be on sale in person to members (including season ticket holders) from 12 noon until 2pm on Saturday and then again at full time after the game.

Between 2pm and kick off fans will only be able to buy tickets for the Brentford game and are advised not to try and purchase other games due to the anticipated queues.

Tickets will still be on sale to members only on Monday (15th August) with General Sale following on Tuesday (16th August).
 
So Who's heading to Goodison then?

Do we have many travelling from here?

Foxy and I will be there and I think he bought tickets for another car-load.

I know some people who can't go because of it being midweek.
 
I'll be there, along with 3 others in my car this time. We're putting a fair few miles in watching the Blades in that 10 day period with 4 consecutive away games!

Well I'm going too!!

So if you establish a venue for pre match entertainment let me know and I'll see you all there.

Its been a while!
 
Does anyone know if we have taken the option of the additional 2800 tickets and if there are any left?

Most of the Everton fans I know arent going Wednesday due to the shambolic performance on Saturday. So if you dont have a ticket you might be able to get into the Everton parts no problem!
