FA Cup draw and what's what.

[Ian]

I believe the draw for the next round of the cup is tomorrow at 11am. Contrary to what was printed in the local paper it is Conference South & North teams that now enter the draw not Conference National. All of the qualifying rounds are regionalised.

 

I assume it will be posted on the FA website shortly after 11am tomorrow.

The date of the next game should be 1st October

Which means that our game at AFC Hayes is postponed, and a midweek trip to Middlesex beckons!

[Cookham Rebel]

I would love to draw Maidenhead!!!

[Tom]

I want as easy a draw as possible!

[HorshamRebel]

Something down mine and Warren's way for us

[GarySTFC]

we would have to win 12 games to win the cup unlike the premiership and championship teams who only have to win 6 games. Not very unfair at all.

[Rebel Kay]

Bognor would be fab. My first ever Rebels game was away to Bognor in the FA Cup in 1986 (I think). couldn't get into the Slough end, so had to stand in the pouring rain, with the Rocks fans making monkey noises every time Rowan Dodds touched the ball.

 

This was a replay and we won. Don't remember much else, except the rain.

[brighton_rebel]

A few Bognor fans made monkey noises just a few seasons back when they played Lewes. After the game one of Lewes 6 foot + strikers jumped over the barriers and asked for the culprit say it to his face. Never seen such a little [censored] run so fast.

I would love a trip to the seaside, Bognor or if Weymouth are still in

 

I would also love Maidenhead home or away

 

Else I would like a team that is at our level or level below who are not doing that well. Someone like Leighton.

[Ian]

I'm not sure you can predict the outcome in a cup match based on league position and form. Last year we lost to Erith and this year we go and beat Banbury. My only desire would be to get an away game - I think we're better away and we travel in good numbers.

[GarySTFC]

Much easier in terms of arrangements and administration as well to play away.

[Martin]

They are making a bit of a song and dance of this draw if it was supposed to happen at 11am. Waiting on tenterhooks....

[A Rebel and a Saint]

Just looked around the rest of the forums, on the Margate forum it says the draw will be on the FA website just after 1.

[Matt]

Apparently it might be delayed until 1pm now, which is wholly unacceptable for those of us hammering the F5 button at work!

[Tom]

Going to have to delay my lunch now!

We are at Home to Boreham Wood
