 3rd round draw by Rupe
on 27/9/99 at 10:59
this is story 1 of 61 in this topic to date
In the draw for the 3rd round of the Worthington (League) Cup, we've been matched with Preston North End.

Last season we met them at their place in this stage of the FA Cup, running out 4-2 winners after generously giving them a 2 goal start (see report).

This time, however, the match is at Highbury. It's scheduled for Wednesday 13th October (no it isn't!, see next item).

In order to try to generate more interest, the organisers have gone for a fixed draw this year, so that we already know who we'll get next. The good news is that it could be a lot worse: if we get past PNE it'll be Middlesbrough or Watford in the next round (the venue will be decided by a draw at a later date). It doesn't seem to have worked very well (in terms of generating interest, that is), in that it's hard to find the full draw published anywhere. It is, however, published in an easy-to-read form here on ArseWeb.
