The draw is on Tuesday, I believe. Matches to be played on the weekend of 13 October.

Sutton are one of sixteen clubs left in the competition (and, of course, the only English side remaining). The other fifteen break down by division as follows.

2 Scottish Premership U21 (Motherwell, St Mirren)
4 Scottish Championship (Alloa, Dunfermline, Queen of the South, Ross County)
3 Scottish League One (Arbroath, East Fife, Montrose)
2 Scottish League Two (Edinburgh City, Queens Park)
1 Welsh Premier League (Connah's Quay Nomads)
1 Northern Irish Premiership (Coleraine)
2 League of Ireland Premier Division (Bohemians, Sligo Rovers)

I suspect that Ross County, currently top of the Championship, are favourites. They beat Raith Rovers (from League One) 5-0 in the second round. Queen of the South (third in the Championship) and Arbroath (top of League One) will also fancy their chances. And the two League of Ireland clubs could be strong contenders.

Blessed is the person who having nothing to say abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.

Despite the fact that it would be very appealing (for both fans and players) to be drawn away to an Irish club, I’d like to see us given a home tie on this occasion. That way, a larger proportion of our supporters will be able to attend and feel part of this historic venture.

Both a significant distance from a major airport. Connahs quay of course is just like going to Wrexham

Is it possible to prioritise things you have no control over?

I totally agree with you SG. That would be rub your eyes stuff....

I imagine we’d be in a pretty small special group of clubs

scorpioeyes: I predicted a relegation struggle with a totally inexperienced manager. Hope I am wrong, but it doesn't look like it. MG is out of his depth,that's obvious. Sept 3, 2019 22:59:54 GMT

ggl: So are we now saying we have a manager who is not in favour of bringing in loan players and if the board decided to part company with him they cannot afford to do so ? Oct 23, 2019 8:21:42 GMT

historyboy: Sad to hear of the passing of Eddie Cack, I remember him well. I think that the said photograph publishsed by the club, of him sitting next to Dave Hermitage, isn't him at all; I think the picture shows Micky Goodall. Compare other pictures of both. Oct 24, 2019 17:27:34 GMT
