    First choice for me would be Luton or QPR away.

    Other than that would be happy with any of Crawley, Wycombe, Oxford or Colchester away. Plymouth/Cheltenham would be decent too.

    This is Saints though so no doubt we'll get a dross draw like Watford at home.

    Hopefully someone at home. I won't get go many games this season, so I'll take anyone there.

    Or, being really hopefully optimistic, an away game with a good allocation of it going to general sale. Historically been OK at this round of the cup for that so who knows <laugh>

    Midweek on short notice so a decent chance of general sale if it's not local and a 2.5-3k allocation.

    TBF we've had plenty of decent away draws in this competition. It's the FA Cup we get the ****ty ones.

    I’d like a London away, preferably one I’ve not been to. So let’s say AFC Wimbledon

    Wouldn’t mind Luton either as I’ve not been to Kenilworth Road yet

    I'd love to visit Wimbledon but know I'd have absolutely no chance of a ticket with an allocation of about 800.

    Prob sell out to 15/16 aways given it'd be a new ground for everyone. Quies possibly more than that even.

    That's a thought I hadn't quite contemplated... grim. Might have to try and sneak a home ticket

    Yeah they'd be like complete gold dust.

    I actually think I've hugely underestimated it too, reckon we've easily got a core of 700-1000 who do basically every away game and therefore I reckon there'd be at least that number on 23+

    That will do. Haven't been there since Ralph's first game and will get a big allocation. Will likely go to that.

    Nice. Hopefully a good chance of a decent allocation and general sale, but won't get too optimistic just yet.

    Swansea play Cardiff on the Sunday, so would assume this will be on the Wednesday night instead ...

    Sunderland were allocated 2,800 last Saturday. Well over 2,000 turned up. Good for a 12.30 kick off where many left the north east at 3.30am.

    I expect your allocation will be 2,800 also usually pre match sales for away fans. Sales for the away end unlikely on match night.

    Will you bring that many for a midweek, 2nd round Carabao Cup game
