Hereford United will once again be in the Carling Cup next season and will find out who they play in the first round on the morning of Wednesday 16th June 2010 at around 9.30am.
The round will take place in the week commencing August 9th, just a couple of days after the start of the new season.
The First Round draw will include 70 Football League clubs including Portsmouth who have just dropped out of the Premiership. The other two relegated teams, Burnley and Hull City, will join the competition the Second Round.
The draw will be both seeded and regionalised. With Hereford United finishing 16th in the 2009-10 League Two table, they will be unseeded, and so will play either a Championship side, or a team from the top half of League One in the First Round.
