So we’ve got Cheltenham Town next on 30th October, then return to Cheltenham a week later for the final group match against Forest Green Rovers.
Yep, so all the lower league teams get at least 2 games at home guarenteed. I'd much have preferred sp*r's group of Gillingham, Crawley and Portsmouth but it is a great adventure to go to places we don't normally go to.
But when it gets to knockout stages, we can host them at the famous Meadow Park until the semis when we allow them into the Palace of Ashburton.
