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.
