" Capital One 1st Round draw Full list "

Brighton v Newport could be lively


The Capital One Cup first round draw has been made with relegated QPR handed a trip to Exeter City in the week commencing August 5.

FA Cup holders Wigan, relegated to the Championship, are granted a bye due to European commitments but Harry Redknapp's men start at square one with a trip to St James Park.

Wigan's absence means that Newport County, who gained promotion to League Two, avoid a play-off scenario and bag a round one trip to the Amex Stadium to take on Championship play-off semi-finalists Brighton.

Conference champions Mansfield also feature in the draw and squeeze a trip to Tranmere into their League Two schedule, while one of the eye-catching ties of the round sees Northampton take on neighbours MK Dons.

Beaten finalists Bradford, who upset the odds to reach Wembley before coming unstuck against Swansea, have a local derby against Huddersfield Town in their opening game this term.

Hopfully Newport pull off a shock result then draw us at their place then in the 2nd round.

Preston v Blackpool and Bournemouth v Pompey, interesting.

An interesting prospect for Newport County.
Realising they are back in the Football League has made me wonder , Rodney Parade (which is where I'm told they now play)
is a new ground for anybody who used to like to visit all 92 League grounds. Are their any others that have changed and people need to add to their list ?

Another good reason to be in the Premier League to avoid this draw.

When we get our fixture,hope we use our squad players to give them game time

laughing like f**k i culdnt find cardiff in the draw
