We have a great record in this competition - which has produced some of the more memorable and impressive results since being a FL club, beating the likes of Preston (away), Blackpool (away), Coventry City (home), Wolves (home and away) and Barnsley (away) - I bet the directors wish we could transfer this form into the more lucrative FA Cup!
I really like the format of the competition in addition to the above it has allowed us to visit Bramall Lane, Stadium of Light, The New Den, Oakwell, Molineux and The City Ground (grounds I didn't think I'd ever visit with Morecambe) whilst hosting Burnley, Newcastle United and Bournemouth - three sides now in the Premier League.
Still unsure if I can make the game on Tuesday - If I go it will be a mad rush from Lancaster at 17:15ish going through Manchester and the M62. Likelihood of making kick off? I was gutted that I missed Rotherham away last year, especially when we got the win in dramatic circumstances.
Hello! Hello! We are the Morecambe boys!
