am saying we will get the flames Not sure that can happen. Would be a very specific set of circumstances. One of the seeds would have to pick Cardiff. I think we get either MK or Belfast. |

It's
Sheffield v Dundee
Milton Keynes v Nottingham
Belfast v Fife
Guildford v Cardiff
That was very brave of Milton Keynes choosing Nottingham

choosing doesn't seem fair, should it be drawn from a hat or something

choosing doesn't seem fair, should it be drawn from a hat or something I should really have put choosing in inverted commas as the draw has ended up as 1 v 8 2 v 7 3 v 6 and 4 v 5 Conspiracy theorists will ask did Milton Keynes actually choose or were they told who to choose |

I think it's poor that you get put up against a team from your own group.

We have a chance |

It gives teams more incentive to win their group if they’re allowed to pick, meaning more competitive games so can’t see how it’s a bad thing. It’s ended up how it would seeded anyway so who cares, 2 more games against a team we rarely see, happy days.
