FA Vase First Round Proper - Saturday 31 October

[Rhodes]

I guess we can use this thread for the results and reports once the time comes, games to be played the weekend of Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November although I'm guessing that there won't be any Sunday ties involving SSML Club's who have mostly been drawn away:

[GRS67]

Cracking draw for Edgware Town, away to Southern Combination side Worthing United who play at Step 6.

 

A nice day out on the South Coast and a winnable tie, a we're hiring a 50 seater coach for our should be a decent Away Day!

GRS67 - Don't forget to pack your bucket and spade, presumably the coach will be for players, Management and Club Officials so there will only be room for about 20 fans, what are the rules on social distancing for coach travel

We took a 50 seater to Fairford in the FA Cup, by all accounts there was plenty of room and no Covid cases reported. 

I'll be going by car as I did Fairford, I would hope we have a few fans there but most likely it'll be a dozen at most

Actually this one is kicking off at 7.30pm on 31 October and not 3.00pm, also the tie is being played at Bracknell Town's Larges Lane ground and not at Sandhurst Town's Bottom Meadow as stated on Full Time: 

31 Sat - 19:30 - FA Vase

I think that's Worthing FC ground NOT Worthing United!

Fakenham Town looks a decent ground doesn't it and a nice playing surface which will suit Crawley Green on Saturday:

This won't be a walk in Ampthill Park on Saturday will it for Lee Hawkes's men:

What do we know about Eastern Counties League Premier Division Gorleston, I don't think they will just lay down on Saturday:

Annoyingly Walthamstow will be as fresh as daisies at Ampthill Park on Saturday as their Essex Senior League local derby at Clapton last night was 'abandoned' without a ball being kicked in anger due to the lines not being painted, it was a real French farce of Brian Rix proportions and he will no doubt be rolling around in his grave with laughter:

How do we think this one will go, you have to admire Eastern Counties League Division One North Fakenham Town's style:

GRS67 - I'm really disappointed having seen Fakenham Town's artwork, you could have used your imagination:

Saturday 31 October 

The Buildbase FA Vase First Round

Sandhurst Town v North Greenford United (at Bracknell Town FC, kick off 7.30pm)

This tie has a preview on the London Football Guide, I wonder if North Greenford United were happy to kick off at 7.30pm on a Saturday, groundhoppers will have a field day though with 'doubles' and possibly even 'trebles':

A bit further afield

Sandhurst Town v North Greenford United @730pm - it's been pointed out to me by regular TLFG reader Chris H that NGU's match against Sandhurst has been moved to Saturday evening as they groundshare with Bracknell Town who are also playing that day. If you fancy two matches on Saturday then here's your opportunity. Bracknell is a one hour train ride from Waterloo and sits just off the M4 if you're driving
