I went to Vale in '99, when Bish and SWP - making his league début - came on at half time and caused absolute havoc in the Vale defence.
We were losing 0-1 at half-time, but won 2-1. It was a great day out.

I completely agree. It will be a much more pleasant competition altogether, if both those two win their third round ties.

I had a good chat to Tony Adams and he's a lovely bloke as well. Not at all what I expected.

Your post reminded me that I was there too, sat in the home end, and it was an excellent debut by SWP. How times have changed in 20 years!

That got me thinking: Of the EFL teams in the cup draw, these are the interesting ones from a new team or new ground perspective:
Rochdale: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. I've seen us at their place in a friendly.
Forest Green Rovers: Not seen them anywhere.
Carlisle United: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. I've seen us at their place in the old second division.
Oxford United: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. I saw us at their place in the cup last season and am going again in a couple of weeks. I also saw us twice at their old ground.
Exeter City: Never seen us play them.
Shrewsbury Town: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. I've seen us at their old place in the old second division and their new place in a friendly.
Luton Town: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad.
Bristol Rovers: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. Saw us at their place in the third division.
Plymouth Argyle: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. Never seen us at Home Park.
Coventry City: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. Seen us at Highfield Road loads of times but not at the Ricoh.
Ipswich: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. Seen us at Portman Road many times.
Crewe Alexandra: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad.
Port Vale: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. Seen us at Vale Park several times including that Clive Allen cup game.
Tranmere Rovers: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. Seen us at their place a few times.
Preston: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. Seen us at their place a few times.
Millwall: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. Seen us at their new place.
Newport County: Never seen us play them at home. Saw us at their place last season.
Rotherham United: Never seen us at their new ground, and probably won't do this season as they are 3 down at Solihull.
Brentford: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. saw us at their place in the FA Cup when Nicky Summerbee got the only goal.
Fleetwood Town: Not seen them against City home or away..
Portsmouth: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. Seen us at their place a few times.
Gillingham: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad. Seen us at their place a couple of times. And at Wembley!!
Northampton Town: Seen them at Maine Road but not at the Etihad.

Yes, I know I'm a fucking anorak for knowing this stuff.
