No thanks, Newport (A) would be a new ground and you can still get the train back with the early kick-off 8)

Not yet, from memory we found out last year when they drew the Premier League clubs which is due to happen later this week.

Hoping for Newport and Cheltenham away - two new (to me) grounds close to the Forest of Dean, and I could even combine Cheltenham with some fieldwork, weather permitting.

Oh, I misremembered from last year. I guess Rodney Parade, then - shorter drive home.

+1 from me; I work in Bristol so an easy hop across the Bridge then home afterwards.

My memory was that the home/away split was determined by the U-21 team being away for all games and the remaining two being split.

Games typically October/November/December

Yep. Draw is tomorrow at 2.30pm. Also hoping for Newport (A).

Came agonisingly close to getting the chance to go there last year in the FA Cup until Harlee Dean's ridiculous forward run at Eastleigh. :roll:

Cheltenham normally kickoff early at 7pm for the BST trophy.

Away fans will be in the Colin Farmer stand (the seats on the side) with home fans in, what is normally, the away end behind the goal. The home terraces will be closed.

Quite a few Cheltenham fans take the opportunity to sit in the away end, as a bit of a novelty, but attendances rarely make it above 800.
