Are Luxembourg in the 2nd Round? If not, then Ebbsfleet or Dover away would suit me (if Dover are still there). Or any ground near an airport. Then again, lets get past Mansfield first.

I would like an easily-winnable home tie that I have no interest in attending - home to Southport, Stockport, Morecambe or Halifax would be perfect.
Our reward for that would be an away tie at somewhere like Everton, Newcastle, Southampton perhaps. Somewhere where we can have a reasonable day out and hopefully lose by not too many, but it wouldn't be too unbearable if we got a hiding.
The magic of the cup.
*Edit - obviously I fully expect us to lose comprehensively to Mansfield, making all of the aforementioned irrelevant.

Interesting to see that all the top teams in League 1 and a lot around us have all gone through at the first attempt. We should be doing the same if we have promotion aspirations.

It’s like Euromillions, without the prize money....

Buggers deserve a good tie after beating Cambridge so impressively and you should be guaranteed to see it on the TV
Maidstone or Ebbsfleet are once again the main attractions for me
Then again, lets get past Mansfield first.
Luton or the winner of Southend v Crawley it will be then:-)
