If we do get an away tie I'd like it to be no 14, big team, big ground, a Bristol City old boy as manager, Manchester Utd for me please....
I would want a home tie against a big team or away as long as its a Wednesday night as I can't go to Tuesday night away games any ideas how the gate receipts are split in this competition?

I remember that game, my brother jumped and celebrated and came down on one of those steps and tore ligaments in his ankle, made him wait till we took him to hospital. Caring member of the family I am My greatest night against Rovers was when Louie Donowa scored to end that run of theirs, apart from Liverpool away best game I've been too.
For me Arsenal 0-1 away Leeds 0-1 Away Man Utd Home 1-0 and 0-1 Away all wins, all great games, plus loads of GFA games at Eastville where we generally won Rovers did better at the gate for several years.
