fa cup draw

[Gully]

I can see the main live game being Salisbury against Notts Forest. Met a Pompey fan at the game I was at yesterday, he mentioned having been to a few matches at Salisbury and described them as Scum Reserves. They are managed by an ex Saints player, Nicky Holmes, he clearly has a fair few contacts at Southampton and is using them to good effect.

Could this be our year in the Cup?

Damn well hope so

 

[The Oldman]

How many will turn up this time I wonder?

 

[Yoda]

I'll be there.

 

[British Bulldog]

I'll be there.

Me and little Bulldog as well.

I see Maidenhead managed to get a 1-1 draw with 9 men away to Stafford.

What division are they in? appears they aren't in Conference or Conference South or North?!?

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

A good draw, as long as we don't all kid ourselves into thinking we're guarenteed 10 goals!

I hope we who went to the game yesterday get priority seating arrangements on production of our stubs, I don't want glory hunters usurping me from my lucky seat

Of course season ticket holders should get priority.

They get an average crowd of 239 for HOME games. God knows how many away supporters they would bring to Withdean. The Stafford Rangers official website had this to say about them before yesterday's game: "The visitors will be backed by a big following of over 150 fans".

They would probably pack the away stand as playing us would be their "FA Cup Final"!

I expect Stafford will win the replay anway. I wonder how many they will bring down from Staffordshire?

It is unlikely we will be on bbc as there policy is to pick non league at home to league and Salisbury v Forest lends itself nicely there. Sky on the other might fancy it...

Fantastic draw there, but I'll "unfortunately" be in the Canaries.

Really looking forward to a nice third round, wouldn't Chelsea away be great.

518?

Hmmm ...

The Albion don't have planning permission to play games at Withdean on Saturday afternoons in December.

It'll have to be the Friday evening, Saturday at 7.45pm, Sunday or Monday.

Personally I'd prefer the Saturday evening.

My apologies. I'm WRONG about this.



The exact words of the current planning restriction are these:-

"No matches shall be played by the applicant at the Stadium on Saturday afternoons in December except on the first Saturday of the month"

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I'm really happy with the draw, it won't be easy though.

 

[seven stands]

eight nil yesterday, a good draw today and now my first ever sticky

I would reckon more than Northwich, in the region of 500.
