Smart draw, it's at home too so probably get to see Tanner at last after we flog him to them next month.
BTW, anyone got their head round this EFL acronym yet that's suddenly popping up everywhere and making you think you're not looking at the right sport let alone competition....

The EPL - wazzat? - has been driving me bonkers since the Barclay's Premiership was formed as *everyone* in the Middle East simply refers to it by this godawful acronym.
And now that cancer has reached the football league..... it makes me want to go and twat anyone and everyone who uses it.

I keep seeing it and thinking it's like the EDL.

They can leave and join the League of Wales of they prefer.
The Welsh teams joined the English league back in ye-olde days because there was no league in Wales.

Note how I refused to call it the EFL Cup in the thread title.

You hero.
I preferred it when it was the Capital One Cup.

Good draw, though. Big derby in my friend group.

Forgive my youthful ignorance, was it actually sponsered by milk? As in milk the product? No specific brand?

prefer a decent lower league local away day, but cant be too annoyed at that home draw with stam's second game (glad not his first) nd should progress

Hoping we get 9000-10,000 due to travelling support bringing a few

I've been in the Plymouth away support a couple of times with my mate.
I think they took about 3000 to Southampton on a Tuesday, and about 900 to Wycombe for an evening game as well. They are fanatical and to be honest deserve some success after what the club has been through, with the majority sticking around when it all went tits up.
I also saw an old, toothless man eat a hot dog off the floor at St. Mary's. He was grinning ear-to-ear afterwards.

I never buy into sponsorships. It will always be the league cup, the fa cup etc. Just as when the stadium gets a sponsor, it'll only ever be "the football ground" for me. Have to say, I'm not liking the EFL name. It's the football league and will only ever be the football league.

It was sponsored by the Milk Marketing Board (probably easier to Google them than to explain on here!).
