Away to AFC Totton would be pretty cool!! localish and a traditional non league stadium appeal. Would be a cert for live tv as well :D

I don't think being live on TV will do Reading any favours other than financially (yet the club will possibly be one of the favourites for coverage anyway given the absolute mess it's in and the fact the results are so consistently poor there'd be a very good chance of a "shock" esp. if drawn away).

Probably nothing to worry about though as the club will probably get a really cr@p tie like Grimsby, Stockport or Notts County.

But who wants Wrexham?

I’d quite like to see us play Chesterfield, but I know who’d win. I dread to think what might happen to our youngsters if they come up against some battle hardened opponents on a quagmire of a pitch. Chesterfield have a great little stadium and play really good football, and it would be a cracking game to watch.

Would set up a nice revenge mission for next season though.

That would suit me fine and bring back memories for me of playing against them, Sholing, Winchester etc. in Hampshire League days.

Away to Biggleswade Town, just to see how many away fans turn up at the wrong Biggleswade ground, given that there are three in the town.

:shock: Bracknell are getting quite a reputation for doing bigger clubs in the cups. Be a laugh if Reading had to visit Bottom Meadow

Biggleswade doesn't sound like a real place

Maybe we'll get Balamory town
