Reaction on the forum:

sedgleyimp: “Never seen us play at Bramall Lane so I’m fine with that one.”

gijsbert_bos: “Bonkers that we’re away again. Might try and get to this, depending on the date. Ah, just seen I’m on holiday. Oh well!”

Snats: “My kingdom for a home draw. But it’s a good chance to test ourselves against Premier League opposition and I daresay we’ll take a good following as well.”

Chesterimp: “Won’t be live on TV so that’s a bad draw, and away seems to be a given.

The conduct of the draw has been atrocious, for a professional broadcaster it’s embarrassing. Did I hear Chapman relegate Port Vale?”
