This evening the 2nd round cup draw takes place and for the first time I can remember Man utd come in at the 2nd round stage. I was looking forward to drawing them or even Sunderland but after just looking online there's a list of seeded teams (we are seeded) and unseeded teams.

Is this a new thing? I dont remember this happening before and is this going to be in every round?

Who do you want in the next round?

We won't get Man u or any decent team. We are seeded along with the big boy's. This has been well documented. Do your research!!

Read his post properly - he clearly acknowledges that !

As to the questions - nope, I don't remember seeding ever being used before either. I'd like Millwall but only because my boss is a Millwall supporter.

Is there no split geographically? Seem to recall in the past there being a north / south split?
 


Crawley please - with John Gregory having signed a good bunch of players, the squads are now probably at the closest level in quality in all Sussex history, certainly far more than in 92 - will be an (mini) epic game
