With their opening league fixtures out of the way, Plymouth Argyle, Exeter City and Yeovil Town will be switching their attentions to their Capital One Cup first round ties.
The achievements of Bradford City in the 2012-13 season, when the Bantams reached the final of the competition- as a League Two side- and knocked out several Premiership clubs en route remains the dream of the fans, but- nevertheless- a good run in the competition could prove to be lucrative in the short term.
Argyle, whose manager John Sheridan scored the winning goal for Sheffield Wednesday in the 1991 final, host last season's losing League One Play-Off finalists Leyton Orient.
The O's management team possesses plenty of South West connections as manager Russell Slade managed Yeovil Town between 2007 and 2009, assistant boss Kevin Nugent led the Plymouth Argyle from 1992 to 1995 and goalkeeping coach Kevin Dearden helped Torquay United win promotion from League Two in 2004 during a four-year stay at Plainmoor.
Also manager Sheridan isn't the Pilgrims' only League Cup final connection, defender Carl McHugh featured for Bradford in the 2013 final against Swansea City and he scored the Bantams' third goal in their 3-1 semi-final first leg victory over Aston Villa.
Exeter, meanwhile, will be hoping for another bumper attendance- to help boost their ailing finances-when Championship outfit AFC Bournemouth visit St James' Park.
In their opening day fixture at home to Portsmouth when over 5,600 turned up, and the Grecians are keeping their fingers crossed that their tie with the Cherries- who still include former Torquay United favourite Eunan O'Kane amongst their numbers- can attract a similar figure.
Yeovil host Gillingham in an all-League One affair at Huish Park as the Glovers will be looking to banish the memory of the opening day defeat at home to Doncaster Rovers.
