Competition Carabao Cup

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I was looking at the results from the first round last night and was amazed to see Barrow there. I remember them being replaced by Hereford in 1972 after the latter's FA Cup triumph over Newcastle (and Barrow having a speedway track around the pitch) - back then teams voted on whether a team should be admitted to the Football League, it wasn't automatic.

So I looked it up and saw that they had made it back 48 years later in 2020, completely missed that. Brilliant, I love stories like this (like Luton's), imagine being a Barrow fan, how excited you must have been to see them back among the 92.

Shame they didn't beat Bolton, would have been nice to play them
Been there twice with my old club, KIngstonian. The second time they had just been. taken over by local businessmen as their owner was Curtis Warren the scouse drug lord and had just been nicked.
Land that time forgot.

Just for clarification. There are a change in the rules this year.

There are two separate bowls. First bowl will have all the Champions League and Europa League clubs and the second bowl will have the rest.

First six games will be drawn alternating between the first two bowls and then the rest of bowl two will be drawn against eachother.

So we cannot draw any other team in Europe (Besides Chelsea)

Is that correct? I thought it was all English clubs in Europe.

We are getting Chelsea. 🤣
 
It's after the round of games tonight, the Newcastle Forest is the televised one so it's after that. There were games played list night and games playing at the same time. It's just the phrasing.
I don't understand how some games are being played before the draw tonight .Has there already been another draw for the teams that Spurs weren't in or have I missed our match?
