Thats a good draw for us, a home game in the Capital one cup, the 1st in history ! Lets hope the ticket arrangements reward those who turn up regularly and that the apathetic Burton public manage to fill the Pirelli.

A home draw, a home draw.
Has there been a mistake?
I am greedy and rightly so. I have waited a long time for a decent cup draw in this competition. I wanted a big, well supported Premier League team at home that I had not seen us play before and opposition that would inspire the Burton public to get down there.
Fulham at home. Hmmm...that ticks a few of those boxes. You can't see them bringing more than 200-300 though. And the Burton public won't be excited enough to get down there probably.
Overall I am pleased with that. A premier league team at home. That's grand. If you look at the teams in the draw there are fewer clubs you'd rather play than not play (if you know what I mean).
Better draws at home from the options - clubs that would fill the away end - Leeds, Forest, Sunderland, WBA, Liverpool, Everton, Stoke, V*lla, Newcastle, Derby, Birmingham, Cardiif and West Ham. So not that many.
