Clitherover Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 The draw for the first round of the Capital One cup takes place at 9.30am this morning. Just looking at the Rovers site and it seems the teams are seeded into Northern and Southern sections, I've never noticed this before, is it a new system starting from this season? http://www.rovers.co.uk/news/article/capital-one-cup-draw-869022.aspx?

Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted June 17, 2013 Moderation Lead Share Posted June 17, 2013 New ground for me as well. Is this likely to be a weeknight game, or are they likely to be sound and schedule it on a Saturday so I can have a day out on the sauce somewhere new??

the original david brent Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I wonder if there is still some bitterness from Carlisle fans towards Rovers fans following the tragedy the last time the teams met at brunton park in the 1980s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozz Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 There was, and the last one was the train crash game. A few of us wondered if it was a revenge saboutage attack on the trains brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moptop Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I remember that day well. I was only 13. Will be an interesting night up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue blood Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Brilliant. Will be great to go back there - spend some good years in Carlisle and went to see them play a fair bit. Ground is a dive mind, especially the away part (part of which is actually facing/in line with the end stand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I work in the Carlisle area. They hate us with a passion. Botchergate could be lively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Kean's Hypnotoad Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 last train to Edinburgh.........9.02pm. Can you believe it? Only in Britain. Last train home to Blackburn, 8:08pm. No its rubbish isn't it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim mk2 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Train from Carlisle - Blackburn is about 2 hrs so train would have to arrive in Blackburn before the last buses so people can get home. Years ago British Rail and the club / supporters groups would automatically have laid on a supporters' special but they were killed off by football vandalism and official vandalism known as railway privatisation.
