FA Cup 2nd Qualifying round draw

[Jafooly]

Does anybody get the rationale behind us being put in the South West section of the draw?

There are four zones in this round, teams who had played previously stay in there zones with a few exceptions, with the new teams entering filling the holes to fill the zones based on geographic location.

 

That's my best guess.

 

Zones being North, Midlands, South East and South West.

FA Cup local derby

Chippenham v Supermarine should be a cracker hope the pitch has recovered from its poor state of when we played in August.

Haha bet you’d still say the same if we were playing The Rose & Crown Vets Reserves!!!

 

 

Correct Glennie. 

 

Be confident but always respect your opponents.

 

As usual there will be giant killings, just let it not be us (that's managerial speak)

A very nice £9k to be won.

[GlenSTFC]

As I said 3 wins in the FA Cup will earn the club a minimum of £49,000.

Sholing won their replay tonight 1-0 so we face them at home on the 22nd. 

[Jafooly]

Sholing currently winning their match 5-0 after an hour. With that said the Newport keeper doesn't look like he would be that agile.

Now 7-0

Think their keeper is Wayne Shaw ?

[GlenSTFC]

FFS don’t give RR more reason to be cautious! They’re obviously a very good side at step 5, but we are 3 divisions higher and playing with great confidence in the midst of a decent unbeaten run. I’m not concerned or worried, yes not expecting an easy game but surely if we play to our strengths we will win.

Finished 7-0.

Newport IOW are one division lower than Sholing, whilst Dan Mason bags his 14th of the season tonight

[GlenSTFC]

It was a county cup so I doubt Newport we’re crying over this!

[Curtis]

Has there been any news yet on the admission price on Saturday?

[GlenSTFC]

I wouldn’t expect it to change? It won’t be a big crowd maybe 500 and reducing the entry won’t suddenly entice hundreds more.

[Curtis]

Sholing are three divisions lower and charge about £5 entry..... I would be surprised if we charge £13 entry.

[GlenSTFC]

I know the 2 clubs talk and agree on entrance price (I think that’s how it’s still done?). Sholing would surely want us to keep the higher price as they’d obviously make more from their cut. I think if we keep it at £13 we’d get 500, if we reduce it to £10 we may/could get 600 but we’d still make less!

[Curtis]

Actually thinking about it, I don’t think we increased the ticket price from the norm for the Rochdale match (and they were four divisions above us), so maybe the right thing to do would be to keep it at our standard home match price regardless of the opposition in the main cup competitions (FA Cup & FA Trophy).

[Reading Rebel]

It's a big word 'if'   

 

Seriously, it goes without saying if we play to our best we will win.

25 goals in 11 games for the Dan Mason and Lee Wort partnership.

[GlenSTFC]

Well no one can argue (where is our old mate disappeared to????) we’ve been performing pretty well for the vast majority so based on that we should continue in that vein on Saturday.
