FA Cup 3rd qualifying round draw

[Reading Rebel]

Any preferences?

 

Personally, as long as we don't get drawn away to a team that's in our division I'll be happy.

[GlenSTFC]

So away to a Conference South team is ok RR??!!

[GlenSTFC]

Obviously home to anyone at a level below or more is the most favourable. But with our form we shouldn't really be afraid of any team home or away. The worst type would be away to a poorly supported league higher side in Brighton... but even if it that's the case I'd hope we could get them back to AP where we'd have a chance.

Assuming it is still drawn by region to give reasonably local matches.

 

Good draw potentials:

Beaconsfield Sycob

Egham

Staines

Walton Casuals

 

Bad draw potentials:

St Albans

Wealdstone

Chelmsford

Hampton and Richmond

 

 

These are just a few potential opponents.

Keep away from Chippenham spoke to a mate in my local a good friend of Sandell who scored a hatrick v Poole.

SS Marine would be handy.

[GlenSTFC]

I wouldn't include Staines as a good draw as they're the same level, it's a local derby and they have an ex-Maidenhead manager in charge.

[Longshot]

I think that with the great start you guys have made, Several teams will be saying ' Hope we don't get Slough away', So relax chaps and let them worry about you for a change.

I watched Staines beat Maidenhead on Saturday and they were far from being anything special. Maidenhead should have won the game by 2 or 3.

[Curtis]

I would like Cadbury Heath or Brimscombe and Thrupp..... both level 9 and have got this far by beating other level 9 clubs.

 

Both 12th in their respective leagues, the Western Premier and Hellenic Premier.

If the alternative is Merthyr, Banbury, Kettering, Chippenham and Weymouth away then yes.

In terms of progressing though you'd surely want to avoid a team in a higher league? I'd fancy our chances against anyone at our level but a league higher it'll obviously be harder, not sure many would wish that!

It's the FA Cup, Staines, Winchester, Chippenham, Weymouth, Rushden and Diamonds, North Leigh all knocked out teams from the Conference South.

[GlenSTFC]

Yes that can happen but I think the vast majority would still prefer a team at our level or lower!

[GlenSTFC]

Home to Dartford (CONFERENCE SOUTH).

 

Not a great draw only saved by being home. Of course winnable though!

 

Dartford are 10th currently, without a defeat at home. Their away record is 2 wins, 2 draws, 2 defeats.

They average 966 which makes them the second best supported club in that division, so we should expect a few hundred make the relatively easy journey to us. Hopefully we can expect a 1000+ crowd for this one.

Might this game be all ticketed again?

[BFR]

Tough draw but you'd expect that at this stage. Bring it on

[GlenSTFC]

Tricky one to call really, depends what the actual current capacity is, as the opening match was set at 1,400 which to me means it is higher, but what’s the figure? I’m guessing not that much more if the capacity is only 1,950 once the main stand is open as that will seat around 300. With Dartford averaging just under 1,000 you could expect them to bring minimum of 150, maybe upto 300? Might be a good marketing tool to make it all ticket but sell the tickets at the Biggleswade game?

[RebelDelaney]

Didn'the Frank Parsons get sent in a bad tempered away game all those years back.

COYREBELS playing with confidence and passion to get into next round.

[Stan]

How ironic !

Dartford spent 15 years playing outside the Town ground sharing at a couple of clubs till about 10 years ago their local council built them a new ground in Dartford. Two promotions followed and their crowds increased from 250 to over 1000 back home.

Will be a tough one but a real proper FA Cup match .

Not sure they take many on the road so not sure it needs to be all ticket as I don't see it pulling in 1500 but however many want to go I certainly Cant Wait . !!!!

I know being thw FA Cup its a one off game etc but i think it will be good too see how the current team fairs against a team from the league above. A good challenge for us but certainly with our home form this season and the way the team is playing is one i think we can rise to and overcome.
