Trophy Draw

[ronin]

We have been drawn at home to Farnborough to be played on the 10th of Jan.

[CANV EFM]

nice draw.. bit of long forgotten dim n distant rivalary, and with them struggling we have a good chance to progress at the lane.. plus it should generate enough int to get an ok sized crowd out..

see we are playing stortford on fri night now lovely, cant beat friday night football

[ronin]

Agree with you there Canv, friday night football is great and with a lot of people getting dragged out christmas shopping on the saturday makes a lot of sense.

[CANV EFM]

plus im off on that friday so i can get on it super early

[YELLOW]

Good draw this one and an old score to settle from three years ago.

With Farnboro really struggling at the foot of the Conference, I fancy us to get a result.

 

Good news about the Stortford game being on a Friday night. Might try and get off work early for that one.

[CANV EFM]

i reckon the boro really dont give a fk about us... they will see it as trip to shitsvillle essex.. lets treat them accordingly.. westly the match 'caller offer' has fked of to stevenage.. the boro are on their way back down... lets help them on their way..

[Guest]

You obviously are not aware that we'd made the conference three times before without Westley's help. What's the match 'caller offer' about? Did he call off some Canvey match (think I remember one being rescheduled although I don't know why) or is it a reference to the Stevenage v Aldershot debarcle?

 

There's a bright side of this trip. Cherrywood is bad, but Park Road is worse.

no idea i was bolloxed..

Where's Park Road?

[Merv]

It's a new game. Based on 'Im Sorry I Haven't A Clue' where they play Mornington Crescent, this is Park Lane. Trentus Maximus is playing the 'anti-clockwise' rule so couldn't go straight to Park Lane, instead he almost got there by going to Park Road. Quite cunning really because under the rules I can now only use an anti-clockwise route which takes me to Seaview Road - wrong direction!

 

Anyone got the answer to this one? I did look at Holton Road but I can't use it without letting him straight in within two moves.

 

I wonder what Tim Brooke-Taylor would do in this situation?

[frenchy]

If you are allowing by-pass routes your only hope is to try Thisselt Rd. Failing that I think he has got you. Sorry Merv.

[Merv]

You can't use a bypass route in an anti-clockwise scenario. Thanks for the suggestion anyway,

 

I think he's got me. I'm going to stick to my origial move - Holton Road - and hope he misses the obvious connection.

[Guest]

I'm assuming these are places in Canvey which is somewhat unfair. So can I use the reversable back block (1994 ammendment) and end up back at Cherrywood?

[Ian_W]

Has Fanbrorugh got any beer yet on draught? I seem to recall us building towers out of beer cans on our last visit - May 1st if I recall

[Guest]

Yeah, the moment GW f**ked off we sorted out the clubhouse. Decent beer on tap and open on non-match days.

 

It was 1st May, my birthday, you won 2-1 but we still won the leagee!

[Merv]

Plonker! How can you get directly to Cherrywood from Holton Road? Don't you understand the rules? You might get there if you used Mile End Road and Purley Way but, by your own admission, the reversible back would come into play and, unless Cherrywood has been moved 4 miles to the south, you are stuffed.

 

I'll give you a clue. Use a First National bus timetable and look at Smallgains Avenue.

Top game very tense and both sides flat out for a result and the kind gentleman you made reference to was the only person in the ground who failed to appreciate the entertainment on offer
