FA Cup 1st round draw

[Arthur]

Just me?

Looks that way.......again!

The FA Cup starts in the Extra Preliminary Round in August... some of you that 'bloody love the FA Cup' should get down to a county side and show how much you 'bloody love' it.

Quite!

Surely there's an obligation to cover games in the TV contract.

Looking at the draw, I'd guess Halifax v Charlton, Morecambe v Wednesday or even Luton v Northampton would be candidates?

Or failing that, Swindon (because Di Canio is the media whore of the 4th division) against Huddersfield.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

BoF, looking at that, both the Charlton & Wednesday games are on the Sunday, which hints at them being on TV somewhere?

dont miss rounds 1 or 2 at all!

it also means we dont have to win 2 rounds till we can draw a big money game!

arsenal away would be great! more chance of winning there than old trafford as well.

although i'd take a big game at home. palace, manchester utd/city, arsenal, chelsea, liverpool (again) villa, everton etc!

Yes. It doesn't help to look for the matches on the TV Guide a week early

Games on are:

Cambridge United V Wrexham Taff ITV

I do hope we don't get some shit like Preston away in the Third round.

Inevitable. I'm going for a dull, northern side that we could conceivably lose to, which will be a massively unattractive tie for supporters, and which will make the club absolutely no money.

PNE fits that bill rather well.

Well that's sorted then!

Luton v Northampton biggest game in the draw.
