The Football League have announced the seeded and unseeded teams for Thursday’s first round Carling Cup draw (10am).

The Blues will hope to get a more local game than in recent years with trips to Shrewsbury and Exeter in the last two seasons in the draw which is regionalised along north/south lines.

Birmingham City will receive a bye to round three as they are involved in the Europa League which means newly-promoted Crawley Town and AFC Wimbledon will play a preliminary match with one of the former Blue Square Bet Premier sides progressing to the first round.

Ties will be played in the week commencing Monday 8th August.

MickMillsTash added 15:04 - Jun 14 All I ask for is an away game somehwere that we have not been to yet. Hopefully we have a manager now who will learn from the games played and realise that e.g. Troy brown is not a full back.
