Bill 1,788 Posted June 19, 2019 Will be held in a Morrisons car park Thursday (20th) night 7pm We don't enter until the 2nd round (week starting Aug 26th ?) so here's hoping the binners get through for once, which gives us a chance of meeting them The other cup (Checkatrade) draw is made in August, where clubs from LI and L2 are joined by 16 U21 teams from the PL. Giving 16 groups of four, with the top two from each group then going through to a knockout competition. As this one is very regionalised there is every thought that we could find ourselves in the same group as the binners Hopefully that clarifies it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yeah, look how that turned out... But then again, even the folk of Ipswich are more civilised than that pair, so I wouldn't imagine there would be serious problems.
