Fox in the North Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 just reading the Carlisle fans reaction. They seem to think they will walk it straight into round 3. Link please?
AjcW Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 My brother lives in Dumfries so happy with this room sorted for the night. Hardly round the corner from the ground is it!
RowlattsFox Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 Not too bad from Blackpool, may consider it if ticket prices are reasonable. Would need to find a lift though. Opportunity for the club to do something for the fans though.
Manchesterred Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 It will be a great day for James family, mattys younger brother Reece is there on loan from man utd till January.
Renart Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 I used to live in Carlisle and still have friends up there (one or two are Carlisle fans) but I'm not sure if I will make the round-trip on a Tuesday night. If it was a weekend then it would be a different matter. Ah... the memories... Friday and Saturday nights on Botchergate. As good as it gets
MrSpaM Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 just reading the Carlisle fans reaction. They seem to think they will walk it straight into round 3. Just had a look myself, one of them was cacking himself at the prospect of Charlton away, but apparently we are there for the taking
foxfanazer Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 Gonna go to this. It's a ground I've not been to and I'm gonna try and get to as many aways as possible this season
Rasmic123 Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 carlisle on a cold tuesday night after a 450 mile trip isn't the best draw we could have got, but they got tonked 5-1 at home on the first day of the season and had a poor season last season so i would expect us to win this
Larry_LCFC Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 Just had a look myself, one of them was cacking himself at the prospect of Charlton away, but apparently we are there for the taking It was the comment about turning us over and holding out for a big tie with one of the top 6 clubs in round 3 that got me.
Ashley Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 Worst possible draw we could have got for the second round.
ADK Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 It was the comment about turning us over and holding out for a big tie with one of the top 6 clubs in round 3 that got me. Tbh they've got a pretty good chance, they've got a decent side and will be at home while we will not be wanting to commit too much effort to this. If Burton could do it then Carlisle can.
Happy Fox Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 Leicester City â€@OfficialFOXES56s #LCFC's second round trip to @officialcufc in the @CapitalOne_Cup confirmed for Tue 27 Aug, kick-off 7.45pm.
Hollism Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 Get paid on the 29th so this doesn't look likely. Would have loved to have gone though

If Burton could do it then Carlisle can. Dont get me wrong, I know they have a chance. Its the way they think they will just breeze past us like we're some conference side that I find funny.
Renart Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 Just had a look myself, one of them was cacking himself at the prospect of Charlton away, but apparently we are there for the taking tbh after reading the thread I think you have misinterpreted that. They are in real financial difficulties and so they were looking for one of the bigger seeded teams away to get the revenue (say Liverpool). The next best option would be a 'winnable' game with home advantage and hope for the wonder draw in the next round. Considering that they have to play a seeded team then we are not a bad option - considering who they could have drawn. The worst option would be an away game against one of the lesser seeded teams, e.g. Charlton, where they wouldn't get the revenue and they don't have the home advantage. When he said 'it could be worse, away to someone like Charlton', he was talking from this perspective imo.
Bayfox Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 did this on the train in L1, left my house at 4.45 in the morning and got back to leicester at 11.30pm, not sure I'm attempting to do this on a tuesday night, not sure I'd even get back as far as brum on the last train. And it couldn't be made worse by the fact on the saturday it's down the country to the capital, would have been an excuse for a few days of work if we had blackpool or someone either the w/e before or after. so guess it's the radio for me.
Leicesterpool Posted 8 August 2013 Posted 8 August 2013 I think the club need to consider flying fans out to carlisle, it's too long for a coach! The club should do a special deal with East Midlands Airport or a plane company to fly fans to Newcastle then get a coach to pick them up from newcastle, thoughts?

What a super duper idea Leicesterpool! I think you should suggest it to Top and co immediately. You may even want to suggest they hire a fleet of private helicopters so they can land us all in the stadium car park. Would save money on coaches?

We're one of the luckiest clubs in the country in that 3+ hour journeys are very rare. What about the Carlisle, Middlesbrough and Portsmouth fans? They'll have to make these sort of journeys on a regular basis and in many cases they'll travel further than the Midlands.
