FA Cup 2023/24

[Luke Imp]

First round draw on Sunday I think?

Looks like there are lots of FA Cup qualifying games this weekend so if it's not Sunday, it must be soon.

 

[Si Robin]

2:30 on ITV1 on Sunday.

We're ball 13. No matter what happens this season, it can't be worse than last season....can it?

 

[denzel ecfc]

Fully expecting a northern league one or two club away as per usual.
Though having four home draws in the league cup means we can't really complain.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Hoping for Tamworth away if they get through. Closest team and no love lost.

Did you score last season?

 

[HutchECFC]

Torquay (H) or (A) would be a laugh, though.

 

[valefan16]

Whitby Town away would be nice and the wife loves it so easy excuse to go the game.

Will be up with Peterborough away or something.

When was the last time you met ?

 

[Si Robin]

Did you score last season?

Twice, but only one counted because the ref and linesman were blind and didn't see the ball go a good yard over the line.

 

[denzel ecfc]

When was the last time you met ?

Last time they were relegated from league two. 2013/14. They beat us, of course, then went down a couple of weeks later

 

[Laker]

Got to be Biggleswade Town for us if they shock Solihull. Needham Market or Chelmsford would be decent too.

Is there still some needle between the clubs despite the gap in divisions? Are are you not arsed about them.

They hate us, we aren't bothered too much about them. When they beat us in a PSF it was as though they had won the cup.

Pretty much what Denzel said, we couldn't give a monkeys about them, but the proper despise us with a passion.

They got their arses in their hands last couple of days, as ECFC tweeted about going to a non league game, but didn't mention Torquay in the tweet but were in the article on the website.

They're just the annoying little brother while ourselves and Argyle are the proper rivalry down here.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Ah, the FA Cup 1st round.... or as we call it, the humiliating exit at the hands of a non league side

 

[E10rifle]

Despite it technically being impossible, I remain convinced we will draw Plymouth (A).

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

I am still hoping for Carlisle vs Curzon so I can go on my old ST seat as an away fan for a weird combination although Bolton away would be good as I didn’t get there last week with Carlisle so get another chance.

 

[valefan16]

Burton… again. Dull but at home winnable as long as we don’t waste countless changes again.

That said I assume we will probably rest a lot with a huge cup tie in the Carabaro the midweek before surely taking priority with what’s at stake.

 

[hellogregory]

Just FUCK OFF

Probably the most depressing weekend of supporting this club since Keith Millen was in charge.

After the diabolical performance yesterday, the last thing we need is an away cup tie to the same fuckers that did us yesterday and do us every single time without fail.

It’s been a dreadful season for us so far. Ideally we needed a bit of respite with a favourable cup draw. Just to give us fans something to cheer. FFS.

 

[Super_horns]

Chesterfield v Portsmouth certainly one for TV.

 

[Laker]

Bracknell at home is about as kind a draw as we could have asked for.

 

[HutchECFC]

Would have thought that the potential TV games will be Charlton v Cray Valley, Chesterfield v Pompey, Bristol Rovers v Chelmsford or Whitby, Bromley v Blackpool, Stockport v Worksop and Billericay or Sheppey United v Walsall (If Whitby & Sheppey were to win their respective replays)

Trust me - we think it’s dull as well.
And winnable.

 

[EricSabin]

Barrow at home. League below, dull but winnable.

I'm already looking forward to the inevitable replay!

No, won't be showing Stockport or Rovers as they are at home.

 

[Bar Carousel]

I'm assuming that Wrexham will be televised, just because.

Your big one isn't it, one of our POD is married to a Burton fan and went Saturday with her as we hadn't a game and apparently you were singing about us after 7 minutes!

 

[Bartonyellow]

I didn’t hear that. We have had this conversation before - it’s all about derby for us. We are far ends of the county and we mean to you what you mean to us in terms of a derby.
Btw - there are quite a few Stoke fans that follow us. I know of 5. So prob one of them…

 

[Marked Ox]

Maidenhead at home. A good draw on paper.
