FA cup draw

[paperboy]

Time flies!

It's the final qualifying round tomorrow and then First round draw time again - not sure exactly when because shockingly it doesn't seem to say on the FA website.

We've only 3 matches before the w/e 4th November ties are played so will we still be in DC's honeymoon period?
After the Alvechurch debacle any team we get is a losable tie at the moment.

[Si Robin]

I suspect it'll be on Monday evening - more than likely around 7:00 on BBC1 or BBC2.

[RegencyCheltenhamSpa]

Looking at potential derby-ish games from teams in the fourth qual.

Weston, Yeovil, Bath, Kidderminster, Stourbridge, Oxford City, and Hereford all play tomorrow.

There are a few Step 7 vs Step 8 games, which will provide the lowest ranked sides in the First Round. For example:

AFC Totton vs Ramsgate

Cray Valley Paper Mills vs Enfield Town

Billericay Town vs Sheppey United

[Ben3]

Hardly the honeymoon period, RCS, I should think if it’s a defeat to lower league opposition it will be DC’s last game.

How long will the debacle be allowed to continue? Board have serious questions to answer!

[Fuller]

First round draw is not regionalised so we could get someone like Grimsby or Barrow away.
Whoever we get I doubt we’ll be in round two, and that will end our interest in the cup competitions this season, with the subsequent loss of potential revenue.
But you never know. We could be at Old Trafford or Anfield in January.

I fancy Cray Valley Paper Mills at home. If they make loo rolls it could be back to the days when loo rolls were chucked on the pitch instead of flares. Luke could run down the clock rolling them back up.

[RegencyCheltenhamSpa]

I assume if Robbie Savage’s Macclesfield FC get through tomorrow and get a home draw that they will be on TV.

[Jerry St Clair]

I used to crave a local derby or interesting away game in these early rounds. But with the predicament we’re in, the lowest possible ranked teams at home and pray we somehow manage to scrape into the third round and get a cash windfall away at a big Prem club.

[Si Robin]

FA Cup draw is at 2:30pm on Sunday on ITV1

We're ball 13

I cannot stand that dullard, how the BBC still employ him is quite something.

Says something when, as a Tier 3 club, you have no preference between facing another Tier 3 club or a Tier 8 or 9. If anything, another L1 club is preferred as it won't be so embarrassing when we get dumped out

[Warwickshire Robin]

And we are ball no 13...How apt!!!

I was thinking the same.
If we're drawn away to a non-league team we might get a tv slot as they love an upset ( or not in this case).

[Anteros]

Hereford away for me.
Traditional ground
Near the city centre

[RegencyCheltenhamSpa]

We’ll beat a Tier 6, 7 or 8 club no trouble. A 3-0 win could be just the tonic we need to build confidence.

Seem to remember similar predictions last November before Tier 7 Alvechurch turned up.

[Nesty]

I remember back in our non-league days (1990?) Playing Exmouth - and afterwards signing 3 of their players including keeper Mike Barrett. Anyone name the other two? 1 was a midfielder and another a left back.

guaranteed trouble, hereford’s a total shithole as well, so that’s a no from me.

[RegencyCheltenhamSpa]

Hereford through.
Kiddy through.
Yeovil through.

Oxford City replay.

Bath out.
Weston out.
Stourbridge out.

[bigdavejambo]

Macclesfield out

[RegencyCheltenhamSpa]

Cray Valley Paper Mills are through.

[horlickfanclub]

Awful draw.

[asl]

Ugh... Wimbledon away...

[Shade]

Yep, a suitably s#!t draw for a s#!t season.

[RegencyCheltenhamSpa]

Cray Valley Paper Mills are through.

Dream draw a few miles up the road at Charlton for Cray Valley.

[paperboy]

Still at least we know the 40k will be going to a nice club.
...but hey, there's a giant killing in every round so perhaps there's hope for us.

[Fuller]

Yes it was 1990/91. We actually signed four - Mike Barrett, Mark Gennard, Frank Howarth and Tony Stuart.

[RegencyCheltenhamSpa]

Yep, a suitably s#!t draw for a s#!t season.

It’s not a sh!t draw if we win the match.

The abject capitulation at Wimbledon in the Cup was an awful low point amidst Duff’s success.

Let’s hope it’s the reverse this time round and a win at Wimbledon is a high point in our disastrous season.

[Horteng]

A bye for AFC Wimbledon then

[art vandalay]

At least it doesn’t extend our appalling recent record against non-League teams which, I would suggest, is the worst in the League.

[Jerry St Clair]

Could have been better, could have been worse.

It’s a “meh” from me.

[robinsrule]

It’s a banana skin for sure! The only positive for me is that I live not far away so I should be able to attend.

[longmover]

Does Harry Pell still play for wimbledon?

[Si Robin]

He does, but he seems to be a bench player these days

[longmover]

He does, but he seems to be a bench player these days

off the bench to 5hithouse and score against us then.
