The Imps To Face The Terriers In Round One

|

Lincoln City will take on Huddersfield Town in Round One of The Carabao Cup at John Smith’s Stadium. The tie will be played week commencing 12th August, with the date and kick-off time to be confirmed.

Ticket details for the fixture will also be announced in due course.

My Views: As I said before the draw, it would have been nice for us to be drawn away at Barnsley, Stoke City or Middlesbrough because I’ve not been to their stadiums yet, but Huddersfield Town away isn’t a bad draw. The last time we played them away was on 19th May 2004 in the Division 3 Playoff semi-final second leg. The match finished 2-2 and The Imps lost 4-3 on aggregate.

Reaction on 100% Imps:

Snats: “Huddersfield away! If only it had been home.”

Chesterimp: “Revenge for 2004 – Cain, PO semi etc, we owe them one.”

Scotimp: “Are we ever going to get a home tie in the League Cup? Five successive away draws now.”

Luke Imp: “With the fixtures today and now the Huddersfield game, I feel like I’ve been transported back 10-15 years to the mid to late-00’s!”

MaineRoad_96: “I’ve still got a massive chip on my shoulder about Pawel Abbott and Andy Booth.”
