    looks like being a bumper crowd between Portsmouth and Sunderland.
    I know some people slag this competition off as "tin-pot" but it's probably the only Cup competition that lower league clubs have a chance of winning. I must admit that I jumped on the bandwagon at the Fleetwood stage when we won it but what a fantastic day out it was for the fans. Our game against Oxford was a classic with a brilliant individual goal played in front of genuine people. The Oxford & Barnsley fans were fantastic that day..
    I think it's worth remembering that in the past 60 years, that is the only competition we have won so we should treasure that memory.
    Sunderland and Portsmouth fans will create a great atmosphere - not sure whether it will be on telly but I'd certainly watch it if it is.

    Lots of season-ending injuries on both sides, please!

    Lost credibility when top flight u21 teams were allowed to compete.

    At least we won it before it turned into a farce.
