EFL Cup (2nd Round: Bolton [A])

Standard allocation is 3,000 but can be up to 5,000 so hope Villa ask for that.

My favourite away game when I lived in Horwich. Few pints in the pub next to Blackrod station, then a 2 minute train to the Reebok in time for kick off.

We had the 5k for the semi in 2004. There was only 16k at the game, the other 3 sides of the ground half empty.

I also think we’ll be on tv because who better for a shock result than the Villa?

[cdbearsfan]

In recent years, Newcastle, I think.

Good draw for us.

might well be the Thursday night tie as we then don't play until the following Sunday

Yes but Bolton play on the Saturday. Plymouth away, too. Would be pretty harsh on away fans to move that at a fortnight's notice.

This means it will happen

Their capacity is 28,723.
Average attendance last season 16,104.

They could easily give us 8,000 if we reckon we could sell them.

I've checked the EFL Carabao Cup rules

We have a right to 10% as a minimum - more by mutual agreement.
Ticket requests to be made within 3cdays of the draw.
Ticket prices to be agreed between clubs.
Away tickets cannot be sold for more than equivalent home tickets.

Interesting what sort of approach regards starting eleven will be taken. We have Palace few days before but don't play in the league till the Sunday 28th away to West Ham.

Gerrard didn't manage to win a domestic cup in Scotland. One final in 6 attempts. I think he's highlighted the cups as something to target, so I have to be looking to go deep or really win one. Certainly a capable squad for the task.And SG has the right attitude and mentality to be a manager who wins a cup.

I think Olson will play in goal and Young as captain. Other than that, I am not sure for now as it depends on player performances on Saturday and Palace and who has played

[Legion]

I think Cam will start.
