As far as bad ideas go this is right up there, the draw for the First round of the Carabao Cup is to be held at a supermarket. Yet they wonder why the teams no longer take tia competition seriously.

Morrisons?

Moribund more like.

Jesus wept.

They want shooting. Seriously.

When interest in the Cup competitions is seemingly at an all-time low, they come up with a stunt like this.

Would be more interesting if they'd got Glen Johnson to make the draw

I work 15mins' walk from Morrisons Colindale. Great news! It's biggest thing to happen in the area since Taco Bell opened up opposite the Tube station.

eugh, just remembered how bad Burton away was last season.

As bad as that idea is, drawing the EFL Cup in a supermarket, I just can't stand John Barnes, so the whole idea is just appalling and a nonsense.

The Draw will no doubt drag on Aldi.

I once said cup draws should never take place in supermarkets and Iceland by those comments

Enthusiasm for this idea seems a little SPARse.

Don't understand why. It's not like the draw is a LONDIS-tance away?

 

[Strummer]

You’d think the supporters would be more Co-Operative?

 

[Alf-engelos Mindminackers]

I'd like to hear Morrisons as to why they think it's worth it.

I hope that this is a SAFEWAY to do the draw.

Shaping up to be a gro-TESCO-pening draw

 

[Flaggers]

The people whose idea this was are insane. Bury's not in the draw are they?

Yep, they're off their trolley. One Stop away from total lunacy.

Apparently Danny Rose is supposed to be doing the draw but it'll be delayed. His agent just messaged the overseers "Wait! Rose will be late!"

*Gets coat

I think we'll draw Aldishot Town.

I heard that the reason for the location choice is because shoppers are one of the Football League's Key Markets.

*One for the older readers there.

Apparently as Barnes is stuck in Cornwall, Martin Keown is stepping in.
