It's got to be Port Vale.......

 

[blade too long]

was looking at a list of league cup winners
and of 6 clubs that won it from 85 to 91 , 5 of those clubs have since been in division 3

norwich , oxford , luton , forest ( won 2) and wednesday
2 have dropped out of the league , hopefully a third will join them

how weird is that

[Basing Blade]

Hartlepool away

 

[sheffielder]

oops, missed the draw. was hoping for rotherham away

 

[DEANO1889]

Wilson going back to his old club. Lets hope we do better than last year. Fingers crossed we dont get them 1st day of season when released tomorrow.

 

[axel smeets]

I would imagine that the rarely played Nottingham derby will capture the imagination in that part of the world. Also white shite v Bradford will be quite tasty I should think. It's just disappointing to draw the same team again, away from home, again. I think I would have rather played SWFC to be honest now......

 

[Balham]

Wilson going back to his old club. Lets hope we do better than last year. Fingers crossed we dont get them 1st day of season when released tomorrow.

We'll struggle to get Swindon home or away first game given that they were relegated!

Edit: just realised you meant Hartlepool, apologies
