Can't wait. Just out of interest because i don't know and would like to find out, why do some teams get byes and others don't and why are there so many byes when surely there are enought teams given them to be able to form fixtures? I would appreciate anyone who might have an answer for me. Cheers. I suppose my interest in the competition is just like any Premier League teams fans interest in the League Cup, not bothered one bit early doors but quarter finals onwards and i'm interested!! If the competiton wasn't regional then i would probably go to some Northern JPT games but sadly they aren't so i can't!

From what I've heard, Exeter and Plymouth are both in the draw with us. Possible Devon Derby in the first round?

EDIT: Just seen the link, very likely a devon derby on the cards. Wouldn't mind any of those as long we're at home. I can't remember the last time we were at home for a JPT game.

The last time that we were at home was against Swansea in the 2005-2006 season when we lost 3-1 with an attendance of 1,025. It was then called the LDV Vans Trophy. I was there and remember it surprisingly well. I remember us (TUFC Fans) having a great laugh with a Swansea player (sadly can't remember who it was, one thing I can't remember!)

I would love to play Exeter would be a great game.

Still a very winnable game, get them sort of draws and win them. Few rounds later were off to wembley to win some paint.
