FA Cup 2nd Q

[GlenSTFC]

Drawn away to Hayes & Yeading United.

Far from ideal with our current form but at least it’s local and we should outnumber the home support.

Looking at some of the ties it could have been a lot worse.

Eastbourne v Worthing, Dartford v Welling and Weston v Truro are the sides from our division paired together.

I know league form usually goes out the window for cup games but H&Y are mid table and their last 4 in the league has yielded just 1 point so they’re in pretty poor form too.

That's what I'm worried about 😅

Being serious form does tend to go out of the window in the FA Cup with lower sides raising their game as we know to our detriment.

This game will be no different with H&Y busting a gut to put one over us.

Not quite the same I know but it's nice to have a shot at revenge after losing to the old Yeading in the 2nd round back in 2004.

Good point and my car doesn't qualify for exemption.

On that point I wonder if the away coach is exempt if it has to go into the ULEZ zone?

It’ll be extended to Wales and Scotland soon enough!
