League Cup draw today, we are away to someone !

Vorselaarhammer

Apparent it will be one of these teams. Number 21....

We will actually lose money if we are drawn at home to any of these

Vorselaarhammer

Thorn I think we have t compensate the other team for the lost gate receipts they would have got from playing at the OS.

thornburyiron

That's it. In the league cup gate receipts are shared. Not sure if they'll say we would have got 50,000 at home so don't know how they'll work it out but the crowds at any of these will be fairly low so I expect compensation will be a six figure sum.

What on earth is a CARABAO?

SuzanneClaret

Away at Charlton please ;pray

thornburyiron

It's a Thai energy drinks company apparently.

IronHerb

Just found out that Carabao is an energy drink that is big in Thailand.
It means Red Buffalo ;hmm

Vorselaarhammer

Suz I had to look it up too.

Apparently it's an energy drink from Asia..

MunichHammer

So basically the Asian plagiarism of Red Bull

Not sure why no ones telling you Suze, but it's an energy drink that's particularly popular in Thailand and other parts of Asia whose name translates to Red Buffalo.

steve

When is the draw?

thornburyiron

After Sunderland v Derby so could be 10 ish if there's a result in 90 minutes.

thornburyiron

Home to Cheltenham so a big payout to them.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Good for them. It's not really the end of the world for a PL team to give what will be relatively peanuts to a lower league side.

thornburyiron

Peanuts to us but a huge windfall to them as its bound to be in six figures.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

Exactly, so good for them.

thornburyiron

Jorderz I'm not knocking it, merely pointing out the huge benefit the athletics has brought to Cheltenham. I bet they were gutted when Salako messed up the draw by not knowing his homes from his aways and it came out as their being at home.

SKY are showing our game live. Must fancy an upset! ;nonono

Fortuneseeker
