Fans await cup draw and new league fixtures

Last updated : 15 June 2009 By Deano
With Rotherham hoping for more cup glory like last season, where yet again only the FA Cup proved to be uinkind, they are also favourites to take League Two honours, with odds slashed to sevens at most bookies.

Assistant boss John Breckin insists though " It won't affect us."

"It's good because the bookies usually get it right, he told the Star. "At least people are talking about us positively and for the right reasons."

The Millers start on a clean sweep on August 8th following last year's points deduction and are favourites to be up there come next May - the new fixtures will be covered by us here at MillersMAD HQ and we have again obtained a fixture licence to publish all the key dates for your diary.

Of course this time last year the focus was on the draw in the League Cup at Sheffield Wednesday, so all eyes are on tomorrow morning at 10am to see who the Millers will pull out of the bag this time around.

The draw format is as folows:

*To be drawn Tuesday 16th June 9.30am.

*Newcastle and Middlesbrough receive byes to round two as the relegated clubs from the Premiership.

*The other clubs (in table order) down to Walsall (who finished 13th in League One) are seeded.

*The other teams are unseeded.

*The draw is once again regionalised into North and South categories.


We'll have all the reaction and draw details for you tomorrow.
