  • I love Torquay away. May have to make a trip....


  • What is the Carling Cup? Is it related in any way to the Worthington or FA Cups?


  • First round takes place the week of August 11.


  • As a Hartlepool fan I'm looking forward to tussle against Chris Turner. It should be fun, I only hope the fans at The Vic give him the welcome thats deserved.

    Anyway, the first tie that struck my eye was Crewe vs. Wrexham... this will definitely not be a "Careless" Cup meeting.
    Yeah, I saw that, and the Wednesday draw. Bristol City - Swansea also looked good.

    Looking at the list, I'm guessing that the first round is regionally seeded. Is it just North and South, or is there something else going on?

  • Yeah... it is the Worthington Cup ;)

    It's the same cup (the "League Cup"), just with a different sponsor this year. There's another thread called "No More Worthnothing Cup (http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=56743)" (even though I always heard "Worthless") on this forum that has more info.
