Sod this glamour tie bollocks. I want to win not get tanked 10-1 by Man City.
Let’s think confident and not get below our station….. got plenty of experience seeing us beat Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal in my lifetime. I’m not a welling fan wanting to see the big boys in a once in a lifetime game. We’ve been there before in the league.
Without much of a financial incentive in this comp - let’s get a run going simply because we like winning games
Those wins were roughly TWENTY years ago. A whole generation of fans won't have seen us play such opposition

Must be so hard for anyone under 25 following Charlton. We don’t do cups and the odd time we do, even our draws are shit.
A shit draw is Blackburn away, Wednesday etc. If we're not gonna get a big team then this is decent
Try telling that to a kid who's never got to experience a game against Premier League opposition... :-)
Since that relegation fifteen years ago, we've had one away at White Hart Lane in 2011 and then a behind closed doors COVID game away at West Ham. (There was also Fulham away in 2012 if that counts...) Can't remember anything else that was decent.

Unlikely that we'll ever be back there so cup matches are our only hope of ever playing the big clubs, or getting a derby, again.

I admire the confidence in assuming we'd score.........
This could be a decent draw if we take the game as seriously as we would if we were drawn against say Man City. Why, because we will probably be favourites and then it would be the last 16 where all the big teams and their fans become more interested and we could have a nice earner or another winnable game with hardly any Championship teams left in it.
Stevenage are doing well but the game is in a while when they might not be, I suppose the same applies to us though. Nothing is certain in life but this is a great opportunity for a bit of glory of a cup run and indeed there is a crock of gold out there to find.
Just like to point out that it’s a blessing the game isn’t till November, Stevenage have made a sensational start to the season winning 5 and drawing 1 including beating Peterborough and Reading.
Really pleased with this draw. Shouldn’t fear a team in the division below. Can’t see how BG doesn’t take this seriously when already in 3rd round, plus a game which will comfortably have a sold out away end.
Local ish game, no annual leave needed and a ground I have not been back to in 10 years or so.
Do wonder whether they will play this earlier than November, as neither of us have premier league or European commitments.

Fuck 'em...what do they expect for their lousy £29? (or whatever it is now).

I'm officially old aren't I.........
I take your point btw.
Definitely winnable so I just hope we take it seriously
We'll draw 1-1 with Stevenage and win on pens. And then lose in the next round to proper opposition.
