FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round

[Mark44]

So the draw is less than an hour away, who do we want?

 

I say either a team lower than us so we have more chance of getting further or Maidenhead

[Rebel_Glen]

I think we should concentrate on beating Hemel first! But if we win tomorrow night I'd prefer to play a team at our level or below so we have a greater chance of progressing.

Weymouth away would be a good day out with half a chance of progression. Not sure if they fall within our geographical area at this stage of the draw.

 

From a selfish point of view, one of the teams in the Bristol area would be good as I'm on a Stag Weekend down there when the next round is due to be played.

[Mr Rebel]

as long as we actually get past Hemel on Tuesday i dont really care. would be nice i suppose to get a team that are well supported away from home so that we can have a special FA Cup away day but no one should be focusing or will be focusing beyond Hemel yet playing staff wise especially

Hemel Hempstead Town or Slough Town v Romford or Concord Rangers

Some other local draws:

 

Windsor & Eton v Farnborough

Burnham v London Colney or Aveley

Maidenhead United v Truro City or Bridport

Sittingbourne v Staines Town

I'm happy with that draw should we get through. A home tie against same level opposition means we have a good chance of getting through to the next round and banking £4,500 along the way. Won't be a money spinner in terms of attendance though!

Well they are both Ryman Div 1 sides, I don't think it is actually as easy as it sounds.

 

Anyway, got to get past Hemel first.

[Rebel_Glen]

Of course it won't be easy but being at home against a mid-table side in the Ryman Division 1 North, we 'should' progress. There are plenty of more difficult ties we could have got, I think everyone has to be happy with that. But let's not count our chickens yet!

You might be pleasantly surprised as to how many we take away if we both win our replays this week.... You lot still at Beaconsfield?

[Rebel_Glen]

Yes we play at Beaconsfield SYCOB, what team do you follow Coup? With Romford and Concord's average league gate both just about 100, I really can't see either bringing that many.

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

Glen you are not allowed to talk about crowd size on this forum any more - people get upset!

[Chris]

The draw does not matter until the Hemel game is decided, so no point in looking past that yet. They are still favourites as they are in a higher division nomatter what they and their local papers say...

This is true, but for some reason around 50% go to away games too..However, this is all irrelevant so will continue this discussion on Wednesday morning - if the Gods have been kind to us...

PS: Romford... all Concord fans, coming from Canvey, are akin to Midwich Cuckoos and find typing somewhat difficult..
