It will be interesting to see what the attendance will be, it will be a good marker as to how our fans regard the Caribou Cup in terms of importance/relevance, considering its a derby game.

Fuck's sake, this is instantly a very lose-able game.
Yes agree especially as it comes around the time of Madrid twice and Liverpool plus Utd, I'm sure the squad will get rotated which makes it likely that we will lose to them.

I think we will lose it because of all the other games we have taking place around it and we will have to play a weakened team. The only way that I see we won't is if we have a load of losses in the other matches and we need a pick me up result.

Man, so much negativity!!

Cheer up lads; cup draw against a London rival. Time to get the atmosphere rocking and watch some of our squad players smash the Hammers in an all-action thriller (y)

A major determining factor will be how much dear old Danny charges for tickets. It will be in his interests to have a packed crowd. If he keeps the prices the same as Barnsley we should fill the first two tiers. If he does not open the top tier the atmosphere should be much better.

Both clubs have to agree on the price of tickets. THFC wanted to lower ticket prices for the Gillingham game last season, but they insisted on a price of £25.00. The Dildo bros will want as many of their rabble to get in as possible, so that might lead to lower ticket prices. If they are restricted to a 3000 allocation, they might push for higher prices.

I come into town on the HiSpeed via Stratford. This is not a journey that I'm looking forward to. Especially if our youth team thrashes their sorry arses.

Annoying that it's West Ham.

I really don't care about this competition, but I'd want us to smash West Ham even if we were playing them on Hackney Marshes, so now we'll have to play a decent team.

West Ham will be a good price... worth thinking about?
Yup you get few opportunities like this a season.Especially good if you want to use betfair and trade.Most bookies won't factor in fixtures and fact it could be a youth team.
