    Well I was going to give it a swerve but can't now.

    I don't think we'll sell out tbh.  We've got a concert on Sat 26th (Big Bang? give me a clue as to who that is) so you can assume the game will be on the Tuesday night.  We don't usually haveva reduced capacity because of a concert.  They can change pitches quickly.

    See you all in Hamilton Hall about 4:30pm and the Bluecoats on the High Road!
  • Spurs mate says we’ll get 9 bags if we want it
    Are you Danny Dyer geez?

    The first time I heard this expression was from Jimmy Bullard on a podcast.  I suppose it is a very poor term for a bag of sand(grand).

    We'll sell a massive number if offered.

    I imagine Spurs will shift a decent number too.  Early season optimism AND they do have a genuinely large fanbase. Not as much as Man U, Arsenal and Liverpool,  but a lot who will be delighted to have the chance of going to a game there, and against a London team they may have heard of.

    And it'll attract some of the European tourists that are attending games at The Valley.

    The perfect draw. As it happens I'll be away on holiday too. With a spurs fan. We'll find a way to watch it in Salzburg or wherever. COYA.

    And their first home game of the season so fans will want to see new signings in action.
  • That’s a good draw. You’d like to avoid Championship and Premier League clubs in the early rounds of the League Cup, but Charlton finished 19th out of 24 teams in the table last season. They weren’t very good — their leading scorer, midfielder Sonny Carey, had just eight goals last season, and they’ll be going up against a Spurs team with something to prove at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Can’t ask for much more than that — Spurs get a low-finishing second division team at home and avoid clubs like Chelsea, West Ham, or any number of tiny giant-killers in waiting at their minuscule home grounds. It’s good
    So patronising - COYR - up the Premier league/ fifa playing twats.

They weren’t very good — their leading scorer, striker Richarlison, had just eleven goals last season, and they’ll be going up against a Charlton team and Nathan Jones with nothing to lose at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

    Can’t ask for much more than that — Charlton get a low-finishing premier league team in a shiny new stadium and avoid clubs we already play at their minuscule home grounds like bloody Cambridge and Leyton Orient. 

    It's good

    Fucking typical,  I go on holiday on the 19th 

    We get West ham away in the league and spurs away in the cup 

    Cuuuuuuuuuuuts
    You've had 3 months since the season ended to go away. Why pick to go 2 weeks into the new season 🤷‍♂️
    9 years ago I had to adopt 2 of my grandkids. 

    So ever since I've had to take my holidays when they ain't at school. 

    Life ain't always as you plan it
    You’re a top bloke Blackpool 👊🏻

    Brilliant draw. 

    Our first game at Spurs since 2011 in the FA Cup, when Keith Peacock was caretaker manager?
    Was their for that game, we was in it until they brought on Modric at half time which completely changed the game.

    With it being school holidays the club easily sells 1 coach on each of the 'home game' Valley Express routes. Fully expect this not to be offered, but would make life a lot easier for a good many of us with youngsters, elderly, etc. Would be a great opportunity for the club to show they're listening and test the strength of support.

    Better than 9k?  I don’t think quantities of tickets should be metric. Who ever heard of millitickets, microtickets or centitickets?

    You are right, it won't happen.

    Nice for the league cup to be on free to air tv but what a stinker of a pick. Two premier league reserve sides

  • Are those tv picks really that bad?

    Forest v Leeds is the only all Premier league tie of the round, so not surprising that was picked.

    And Preston v Everton is a PL team away to a championship side so a chance of a potential upset.

    I guess they could've gone with Stoke v Hull or Birmingham v Brentford but Everton are far bigger than both those PL teams so likely to give them better viewing figures.

    Not surprised by Preston vs. Everton, as its Moyes revisiting the team he first managed - Spurs vs. Charlton will be on SkySports+ anyway so doesn't matter

    Was mainly referring to the ITV pick as all games will be on Sky anyway. Preston v Everton would have been much better on free to air. I know the league cup isn’t particularly popular anyway but for me one of the main thing about cup tournaments is lower division sides playing premier league sides. Sticking an all premier league second round tie where both teams will make 8+ changes from the league isn’t going to be particular enamouring

    And they're not " Big 6" PL clubs of the sort which will attract casual viewers either. 

    Birmingham vs Brentford is a more interesting game.

    That’s poor really imo. I don’t think Spurs will
    sell out.

    Spurs only deal with E-tickets I believe, like Wembley.

    Maybe there's the possibility of more tickets if this lot sell out?

    When the club announced the Wet Spam ticket information on the OS there was a paragraph that explicitly stated they'd asked about a further allocation but had been told it would not be possible; there's no such blurb in the club's announcement of the tickets for the Spuds.

    Why would it take until the start of next week to confirm the date of the match? Seems a long time
