Yeah, the trip to Motherwell wasn't ideal but that was partly down to the horrendous weather and time constraints (we were originally supposed to go for an overnight trip at the beginning of December..!).
I think Scotland away was a tad unfortunate for our first go, it's 50/50 whether or not we get a home draw (which is the main attraction for playing in the cup).
Bury are going to try and bring both of their teams up on different weekends, but we might have to wait until the new year for that (their match away to Hartlepool is the same day as our trip to Villa).
Was pretty disappointed about the Stoke match too, last season's match was terrific! Hopefully we'll be able to get some sort of match arranged for the NW weekends. Altho QBG will no longer be in Liverpool
