All of which meant that we travel to Brisbane Road to face Leyton Orient in the week beginning August 23. Can we overcome a jinx which has not seen Bournemouth win away at Brisbane Road since May 24, 1949?? On that occassion we won 3-2 in the old Third Division (South)!
Other interesting First Round ties see Leeds take on Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield, and in the Southern half of the draw, Oxford play Reading and West Ham entertain Southend.
