Bit early, just over a month away until the trip to Dagenham for the 1st round. Anyone planning on going? I work just round the corner so heres hoping theres no extra time as ive got to be away before ten!!!

Pretty easy to get to from central london too.

I'm thinking about it, not sure as of yet though.

I thought the Milk Cup was formerly the League Cup? It was sponsored by the Milk Marketing Board in the 1970's wasn't it? I may be totally wrong........... :thinking about:

I thought about it but then decided its a bloody long way from South Yorkshire where I live to watch our reserves get humiliated.

At least when it was called the "League Cup" it was taken a bit more seriously. The Rumbelows Cup? The Milk Cup? What next? The Aldi Cup?

My Fiancée loves the daggers almost as much as Cov so we're going

Did anyone see Twenty Twelve this week? The Daggers bit was brilliant. Totally.

 

[PVA]

Probably go. I work in Central london so will be able to get there after work easily enough.

Not sure it'll be so easy to get back home to North London though

remember the simod cup...i think we played wimbledon at highfield road in front of a record low crowd at the time.also didn't we play in the full members cup or did i dream up that one

Went to Elm Park (Reading's old ground) to watch them outplay us in The Simod Cup.Michael Gilkes was a good player. Semi-final I think.. Another disappointing long trip home.

Blues? Blues? Fuck off.

THink our lowest ever post-war crowd was against Millwall in the Full Members Cup....1986? It was about 5K.

been a while since we did well in this cup, lets hope we get season off to a flyer and get a prem tie at the ricoh.

actually lets just go as far as possible considering some prem teams play reservers/youth

Gilkes was a quality player! Started out as a winger, then later did a great job as a wing-back in their side that finished 2nd but missed out to Bolton in the playoffs. That was my first year of University at Reading, so I developed quite a soft spot for this little lower-league side in a terrible ground with a pitch that sloped more than Lords. I never dreamt then that one day they'd be a Premiership club whilst we were in L1!
