    The first round of the Carabao Cup competition is set to take place on the weekend of September 5th, but if a League One club draws a Championship side in the first round, the tie could be played on August 29th.

    That’s because the weekend of September 5th is an international weekend, a weekend which second tier clubs usually have free.

    would be good to get Charlton, Ipswich, Portsmouth, peterborough first 4 away fixtures with no crowd we would have a better chance.

    I don't want to tempt fate, but . . . .

    Sunderland A.F.C. have once again been named as favourites to win the League One title this season.

    Phil Parkinson's side have been named 13/2 favourites ahead of Portsmouth and Charlton, to make it third time lucky in their pursuit to get back to the Championship.
    That is according to the EFL's official betting partner,
    Sky Bet.

    They name the Black Cats as their favourites, with Portsmouth 8/1 and Charlton, despite their off-field troubles, 9/1 - a priced shared with Peterborough United.
    The market changes slightly for promotion, rather than the title outright, but Sunderland A.F.C. remain favourites at 9/4. The difference in that market is that Portsmouth and Peterborough are joint second-favourites at 11/4, and Charlton then 3/1.

    p.s. sorry for the link to Ronnie Gill :emoticon-0101-sadsm . . . . which I haven't looked at :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Of course we are favourites, we'll have .ore fans betting on us than other clubs will, plus we are a bigger club than the others so folk will just stick bets on us moreso than others as they'll think we'll just outspend everyone and eventually get it right
