Ian Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hanworth Villa play in the Combined Counties premier. A banana skin in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) They beat Aveley 1-0 in Q2 who are a level above us in Ryman Prem and Wembley (same level as Hanworth) 1-0 in Q1. Adding more info as I find it - they are in the same league as Windsor. They are currently 8th with a record of P7, W5, L2. Other teams have played more games so if you nromalised that they're a top 3 or 4 team in that league. Edited October 3, 2011 by Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Every potential opponent in this round has an element of danger to it. But we're at home again, against lower placed opposition. It's what most of us would have wanted, and represents an excellent chance of progressing further. We shouldn't fear anyone. Adil Berdai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Fantastic draw, just need to make sure they aren't underestimated as a side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Without tempting fate it's the draw you'd want at this stage as you look to progress. Their home attendances are around the 100 average it seems so I'll bet they bring more fans than Boreham Wood!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adil Berdai Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Quality fixture, hopefully a win and we're into the 4th Round Q. £7,500 if we beat Hanworth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark44 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Looking at Hanworths previous results they have beaten Shrivenham 4-2, Wembley 1-0, Bedfont Sports 1-0 and Aveley 1-0. We have a fantastic chance of getting through and then you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Without tempting fate it's the draw you'd want at this stage as you look to progress. Well put. Its a great draw as far as I'm concerned, and gives us a very good chance of progressing (touch wood, throw salt over my shoulder etc). Its a good chance for us, lets hope it works out that we get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lucky lucky ba5tards...........5-0 win at least That's probably what some people thought when we were drawn against Banbury and Borehamwood. Any nonsense talk of easy opposition and thrashings will give the oppo all the incentive that they will need to turn us over. I'ts the FA cup, famous for upsets.

Ian Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 In our last four FA Cup ties the underdog has won three times. We beat Banbury and Boreham Wood and Erith beat us. I also think back to Harrogate Railway which was devastating at the time. Under no circumstances should we consider this a done deal.

michaelSTFC Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Precisely, Ian, I immediately thought of Harrogate Railway, who I think everyone underestimated and they walked away from Wexham Park with - if I remember correctly - a First Round tie against Bristol City. The Rebels can certainly win with plenty of focus. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Since I've been supporting Slough, I can name Lewes, Harrogate Railway, Wroxham (I wasn't there though) and Erith Town as experiences I'd rather not repeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Wroxham with my lad ................. lovely place but to this day I still think of it (and Harrogate Railway) when I hear people talking about FA Cup upsets!

Rebel Kay Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 My recollection of Lewes, beside the huge number of goals, was Tom falling into a puddle on the beach and me getting stuck climbing over the front of the stand 8 months pregnant in the hissing rain. After all of that I didn't really care about the result. (don't think it was FA Cup anyway) but the others were gutting, We mustn't underestimate Hanworth and on a pure coincidence basis, they are also the first team we will play in the cup that don't start with B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Lewes 3-0 Slough, September 2001. Wasn't there for the 6-4 in the Trophy the following year, but that was dreadful by all accounts as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Gogan Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Lewes 3-0 Slough, I remember it too, fortunately as we drowned our sorrows in a Sussex pub, the England game was on..........wooohooo 5-1, yes THAT game v Germany! Incidentally Lewes - rapid climb, rapid fall, now just one league above us. That goalie from Boreham Wood was in goal for Lewes if I'm correct as I saw them beat Bishops Stortford 1-0 in the revamped Dripping Pan (?) to consolidate their charge to Conference National.

Ian Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Germany 1v5 England was 1st September 2001. It was the day after we moved into our current house and we'd arranged to go to the theatre in London. We came out and found out that England had won 5-1 and couldn't believe it.
