    BARNSLEY chairman Gordon Shepherd gave his reaction to today's cup draw, which paired the Reds or Southend United with either Cardiff City or Tottenham Hotspur.</p>

    </p>

    Speaking this afternoon, Gordon said: &quot;Of course we are semi-pleased with that. Every club of our size would love a home draw against a huge club or similarly an away tie at one of the big four for the financial aspects of a game like that. Playing Tottenham or Cardiff City should still be a reasonable pay day for us and it would also be an enjoyable day out for our supporters.</p>

    </p>

    &quot;However, we still have to get past Southend United and I am sure that they will want to face Tottenham or Cardiff just as much as us.</p>

    </p>

    &quot;I think we would prefer Tottenham really because they are the Premiership club and it would be a huge challenge for our team. It would be a game to look forward to and a great day out for our fans&quot;.</p>

    Do you reckon the club will provide free transport to the 4th round tie? nt

    Cardiff an enjoyable day out? A bit different to last May, Gordon!

    We have them in the league the week after as well. So I doubt many will go to the cup game. nt

    Nope. Personally I would put that down as a "cake and eat it" type scenario... nt
