Last time I went to Fulham the coaches took the wrong turning out of the ground and it was 2hours before we got on the m4 also that day I got the number 4 yellow away shirt off of David mahew Did you miss the beginning of the match ?

because money bags Newport can afford the travel costs but paupers west ham can not..... I do not see the point in your post? West Ham were indeed drawn at home but due to the World Athletics being held at the OS they have asked to be allowed to play away, so will have to pay travel costs to Cheltenham. Added to that, the EFL may decide an amount of compensation that West Ham have to pay Cheltenham to make up any nominal difference in monies that they may have got if the game was played at Stratford. I think the "very fair" point is that West Ham should have been chucked into the Northern half of the draw rather than Newport.

"nominal" didn't we make £300K from our Chelsea tie? I guess our tie is winnable so not too bad a draw.

The point being the club struggling at the foot of the football league last season having to have a NORTHERN away match. As it turns out Leeds isn't such a bad draw but a long way to travel midweek. Certainly further than stratford to Cheltenham. West ham should have been the team moved to the northern half of the draw.

Nominal as in existing in name only, i.e. it is not a known amount , so therefore will be decided by the EFL.

Equivalent to about £1-1.5k for us.

Then, as I see it, your point is flawed: Newport would probably get far more from gate receipts at an away game than they would if they played at home, more than covering their travel costs, hence them not having a compensation clause in their agreement. West Ham will have to pay more than travel costs. As someone mentioned, Rovers were reported to have made £300,00 from the Chelsea game last season. If the EFL decide that even half that amount would be a reasonable sum for Cheltenham to have expected for playing at the OS, then it makes travel costs pale into insignificance.

Can't there be some sort of compensation for the Leeds fans missing out on a trip to Rodney Parade, surely they deserve one.

Newport would be playing in front of a bigger crowd if they had been drawn away in the Southern section too. The compensation west ham are paying is of no relevance to Newport county its not going to them. That is unless WHU have agreed to pay NCFC compensation for being in the northern draw (?) . Im not going to cry for WHU they have gained from getting the Olympic stadium already and get enough tv money and prem league money.Compensation will be most likely about 75-100,000 at the most.

Got excited at the draw then realized Fulham ain't in the Prem anymore and it'll be a Tuesday night. Should still take a decent following but talk of taking over that stand again is a bit laughable!

I have a couple gripes. Why are their seeded and un seeded teams? Is it to get rid of lower league teams asap. Less likely to get a Wycombe go to semis, and more likely to have a "glamour" final. Why are the unseeded teams not given home advantage? It would slightly balance out the unseeded v seeded bull. BOYCOTT.

Understand the point, but this is why the League Cup is crap compared to the FA Cup.
