FA Cup

certainly don't fancy faversham away.

 

Overland,lacy,maxsted,stone,wilson,gonella, hockton,sherlock-a few too many there out to prove a point for my liking !

 

I hate these early season cup ties anyway-for so many clubs when with a quarter of the league fixtures played by then and unlikely that promotion(or relegation) is on the cards -not just a Margate issue-it means their season is all but over by then end of september.

 

we have seen the FA Cup devalued for various reasons-and it is now arguably more meaningful to lower league clubs,but most are out of it by end of september and their season dies with their exit from the cups

 

What about having the FA Cup running in a calender year with maybe the prelim rounds playing in December to bring something mid season to look forward to-then the first qualifying round is played early january,and you get to second round proper by end of April.

 

That gives a mid season stimulus to clubs and supporters when in the main-crowds and interest across the land start to drop

.

Then you get the summer break -but for the few lower league clubs who reach the third round-they have got all of the summer months to whip themselves into a frenzy of excitement-and then play the third round proper in september-leading up to the final in December (when as above the prelim rounds are played and feed off the publicity.

Assuming we have a good run in the FA Cup I note the next three ties to be played on 22/09, 06/10, 20/10. we are schedules for Away games on those Saturday, so presume they would be rescheduled for a Tuesday Night. Canvey not a problem, nor East Thurrock, but I note one on the 06/10 is Away To Leiston...that'll be a treat on a Tuesday night, it's nearly as bad as travelling to Lowestoft on 22nd Dec....

But a small price for getting us through a few rounds, be nice to make it to 1st Round proper.....
