Draw to be made on Soccer AM
AFC Wimbledon will be paired with one of seven teams in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy when the draw is televised live on Soccer AM.
The draw for round one of the competition will take place on the popular Sky Sports programme on Saturday, August 18 (between 10.00am and 10.30am).
The full list of teams in Southern Section East, including the Dons, is:
AFC Wimbledon
Crawley Town
Dagenham & Redbridge
Gillingham
Milton Keynes
Northampton Town
Stevenage
Southend United
Ties take place in the week commencing 3 September. The Dons enjoyed an impressive penalty shoot-out victory against Stevenage last season in the competition, but the club's involvement was ended in the quarter-finals by beaten finalists Swindon, who triumphed on spot-kicks. Swindon were defeated 2-0 in the final at Wembley by Chesterfield, who we entertain in our first League 2 match on the first Saturday of the new season.
