CARDIFF CITY have been drawn away at Bournemouth in this season’s Carling Cup First Round. The tie is expected to take place at Dean Court on Tuesday August 16th and it’s easy to imagine a few fans may take a mini break on the South Coast at that time.
The clubs last met in the third round of the same competition in a thriller in October 2004. Cardiff were denied victory in the last minute of normal time and extra-time, Cameron Jerome scored his first Bluebirds goal and Tony Vidmar was sent off but City won 5-4 in a penalty shoot-out with Neil Alexander making his first penalty save on a bitterly cold but brilliantly entertaining night.
After reaching the last 16 of the Carling Cup with an unforgettable occasion at Anfield as well as reaching the F.A. Cup Final last season, fans will be hoping City continue to take the competition more seriously as they hadn’t under Dave Jones before last season.
Elsewhere in the draw Reading (you’re not Premier anymore!) head to Dagenham & Redbridge while league newbies Exeter and Aldershot host Southampton and visit Coventry respectively.
The full draw, with ties due to be played week commencing 11 August, reads;
Preston v Chesterfield
