Through to the 2nd round, get in!

"Eight teams find themselves in four regional groups - north west, north east, south west and south east – while 16 clubs have byes and will enter the tournament at the second round stage.

Crewe Alexandra, who lifted the trophy for the first time at Wembley in April, will be in first round action in the north west section but the side they beat in the final, Southend United, have received a bye.

Of the three clubs relegated from the Championship last season, Wolverhampton Wanderers find themselves in the north east section while Bristol City will be in the south west draw and Peterborough United have a bye.

The two clubs promoted from the Blue Square Premier last season, Newport County and Mansfield Town, have both received an automatic passage into the second round.

The full list of which clubs are in the respective sections can be found below.

Why are we getting a bye when Crewe (who won it) don't....maybe the FL are going to call it quits for the 20 points they've taken off us.

I'm not complaining in any case, just seems strange!

I dont think we can beat the the low attendance for the first round, 0, as its a bye, onwards and upwards to 100 for the second round then!

Well, if you have incriminating evidence that the FL have allowed you to field unregistered and hence illegible players and you promise not to tell anyone if they do as they're told, then you get a bye.

I'm sure we had 8 extra home games last year plus the Arsenal and Spurs full houses. Our finances were just on the up before these fucking morons started all this land grab bollux. With the bigger wage earners out of the way now and a couple of decent cup crowds again coupled with rent at £150k per year the club at last could have turned a small profit.

The same way they operate all their other rules. They make it up as they go along or maybe Fisher just tells them what to do.

or away - but I think we must be in the South West pool, looking at the geographical spread of the 8 teams with bye's.
We must be more west then Crawley.

I wish they'd make up their bloody minds as to whether we're North or South.

I guess Wolves coming down means that they have to even up the sections.

I ain't no southern Fairy
