QPR.

More chances for the youngsters. That's good.

R.Nilsson7 · 27th September 2008, 12:29

The kids can handle it.

Utd heap · 27th September 2008, 12:32

Absolutely fuckin' shite draw.

Can't believe it, when was the last time we got a decent one?

Villa away last year 3rd round, that's it.

We have to fork out for tickets (probably full price) to watch the reserves in a half empty stadium with no atmosphere in a competition we don't care about.

So many decent away ties we could have ad instead (Leeds, Burnley, Rotherham, Wigan...)

Carling Cup fourth round draw:

Sunderland v Blackburn Rovers
Arsenal v Wigan Athletic
Chelsea v Burnley
Swansea City v Watford
Manchester United v Queens Park Rangers
Stoke City v Rotherham United
Brighton & Hove Albion or Derby v Leeds United
Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool

My boss is a Q.P.R fan so we better not loose this. If we do, he'll never stop talking about it.

Actually I care more that we progress even if its almost a pointless cup. Our young players would love to play at OT because its obviously easier for them.

Great draw for us. We can play some of our youngsters and still go through. Happy days.

Of course you do, because you don't have to fork out a fortune for the tickets! If United win, get drawn at home the next rounds, and there's no ticket discount, it'll set everyone with a season ticket on the ACS back over £100. If I was in the same seat as last season, it'd be £152.

On top of the extortionate cost of a season ticket in the first place. We're not made of money! And we stay on the ACS because we like the possibility of being able to attend away games, which you're barred from otherwise

This is the kind of thing foreign and further afield supporters get a bad rap for. Dismissing the concerns of match going supporters, not showing any understanding whatsoever. Then you whine when you think we're being 'top reds'

Can't you just put your ticket on Ebay or whatnot? Surely a local fan that can't get a ticket would snap up your ticket.

If you're not made of money how do you afford a season ticket?

Don't be such an arse, Brad. It was a valid point, just as your interests in the draw were understandable. No need to bring the old local "top reds" vs. OOT's debate into this. I'm sure your sentiments for people who have to pay over a £1000 to watch any game aren't any warmer than OOT's towards you parting with an extra £40.
