If I'm honest there are probably only about half a dozen draws that are genuinely exciting. The rest being either average or non descript. Not sure how any game in the third round of the greatest cup competition in the world can be described as the worst. Even York away all those years ago was a memorable trip.
Having said all that though any trip to Luton is one trip too many.
One of the giants (Arsenal/Chelsea/Spurs/Liverpool/Man U)would be great, both for the coverage and money, but someone like Palace, Newcastle, Everton or West Ham at home would be more fun - potential upset and almost guaranteed to be live on telly. Man City might seem tempting but we'd get slaughtered.
@MindlessDrugHoover I was thinking that very thing watching MOTD 2 last night... I fear the money would not make up for a 20 - 0 drubbing...but agree about getting the strugglers. West Ham or Swansea and we could at least see off Moyes or Clement...
Apart from GAs association with Blackburn there is the Simon Garner link too, I do believe Garns is something to do with there hospitality on matchdays.

Would Blackburn away be that bad? Nice little story with Ainsworth.
Would it be any worse than Burton, Peterborough, Doncaster or Shrewsbury?
Luton away is not amongst the three worst
Yes a difficult game but potential for a great atmosphere in a game that's had a bit of needle in recent times.
Bradford, Wimbledon, Doncaster and Shrewsbury are the ones too avoid.
Anything else is either winnable or a potential giant killing opportunity that could make ££

Man U away.
The trouble with drawing a top side is that you never get to play their top players.
MK Dons would be far and away the worst draw
Good point but 50,000 at Old Trafford would be great even if they did play Zlatan, Shaw and Mata.
POTD from the plantmeister
Not until you're 2-0 up at half time and they realise they need to bring them on!
Rochdale please
0 - 0 at the Emirates then 90 mins and penalties at Adams Park. Brown to score decider.
I found some draws under my bed that must have been there for months
@eric_plant Spot on. Anyone but them.
I would hope the people above took this as a given. I would rather sleep in a room that smelt like a wet fish shop than even think about that
Yes
I suppose it depends on where you are. I would not mind Blackburn away, of course if they can beat Crewe. But a game I am sure Gaz would love.
Someone we've never played before. How about Derby County?
Or Everton
That's my number 1 draw. Goodison Park before they leave. Been twice before, but it's such an atmospheric stadium and still has loads of character.
Played Derby in a friendly in the late 70's at Loakes Park Mr @arnos_grove
Forest at City Ground would be nice as I can stay with my folks and drink a lot.
Lost weekend.
Any ideas what number we are tonight?

Number 48 - does nobody check the Club website???

No.
Thanks and apologies Alan, I was on here and just asked the question. Didn't think of the club website.
In the rehearsal we were away to AFC Wimbledon
