13. Scunthorpe United
14. Sheffield United
15. Sheffield Wednesday
16. Sunderland
17. Wigan Athletic

North – Non-Seeds

18. Accrington Stanley
19. Blackpool
20. Bury
21. Carlisle United
22. Chesterfield

1. Aston Villa
2. Birmingham City
3. Brentford
4. Bristol City
5. Bristol Rovers
6. Cardiff City
7. Charlton Athletic
8. Fulham
9. Ipswich Town

12. Norwich City
13. Oxford United
14. Peterborough United

16. Reading
17. Southend United

South – Non-Seeds

19. AFC Wimbledon
20. Barnet
21. Cambridge United
22. Cheltenham Town
23. Colchester United
24. Crawley Town
25. Exeter City
26. Forest Green Rovers
27. Gillingham

30. Northampton Town
31. Plymouth Argyle
32. Portsmouth
33. Stevenage
34. Swindon Town
35. Wycombe Wanderers
36. Yeovil Town

We've had some decent games in recent years, beating QPR away and taking Liverpool and Derby to penalties. Leeds or Sunderland would probably draw the largest crowd so I'd like either of them at home.

Any particular fancies?

1 new ground amongst that lot so I hope we get Blackburn away in that case.

Yeah I think Sunderland at home is the obvious one we would want. I'm sure Leeds would draw a big crowd but I don't really see them as that big a club myself anymore, not played in the Premiership for yonks. Also there would inevitably be trouble and a toxic atmosphere if Leeds came to town.

This competition has never been a strong point of Charlton's. The best we've ever achieved is Round 4, and only then on about half a dozen occasions.

Thailand seems to be an odd place to be holding the draw. I'm sure there is a sound commercial reason for this that has absolutely nothing to do with football.

But it's not the first time the draw has been conducted outside of England. Donald Trump was persuaded by ITV to conduct the draw for Round 5 in 1991 / 92 season on Saint and Greavsie. The draw was held in Trump Tower and the first tie he drew was Leeds vs Manchester United. Two clubs whose fans were not very friendly at that time (still aren't.) Jimmy Greaves said "Ohhhh, Donald. You have no idea what you've just done."

He was right.

Blackburns ground is fantastic too, I went when we played there when Dalglish was manager the year they got promoted to the Prem.

Barnsley, Bradford, Leeds, Rotherham, Scunny, Sheff Utd or Sheffield Wed away please.

So we will probably end up away at Rochdale, Fleetwood or Burton!

Bristol City/Rovers or Oxford home would be decent. Not going to win the thing so may as well get a tasty fixture out of it.

Very few enticing away draws in that lot. For that reason, a home game would be preferred.

Wolves or MK Dons at home as I think they are the only teams in the Southern seeds that I have never seen play before.

Why have 'ull Targers managed to wriggle out of this? For finishing 18th?

Apart from Villa away as a Barnet fan getting drawn away to any of the sides means playing in front of rows of empty seats in huge grounds.

Best we can hope is a home draw.... We will end up away at Cardiff in front of 3,000!

Was going to say villa but then realised they were in the soft side of the draw.

As for the proper side, I'll go somewhere close to Manchester like Rochdale

You'd be lucky if the fa trophy in non-league was drawn in someone's back shed!
Went up in the world the last couple of years.

Streamed live on Perisope from Wembley!

Not sure if that is ironic or not?

I know last year we were drawn away to Derby and it brought a realism to fact that we were no longer a non league club and that we went straight into draws with other league teams.

Such a good feeling.
