Chichester City - FA Cup

[Rebellier]

Still no acknowledgement from them about next Saturday. Obviously stunned into silence at the prospect of a visit from Berkshire's finest. 

[Bernie Gogan]

5 days to go and they're still not sure who they are playing!

Looking at their social media, home games seem to get advertised the day before on the Friday.

Genius marketing!!! Yes we all know the majority in NL are volunteers but come on… does it take that long really?

I believe that Sailing ⛵️ is more popular down there than football.

They are obviously not as bothered about the game as we may be, although they should be,

with the prize money pot involved!

Don’t fret, I’ve been reliably informed they’re producing a massive promotional campaign which will go live week commencing Monday 16th September…

I thought the same..... he did very well

Real banana skin and FA cup upset on the cards .

Hopefully the players will be fired up for this because you can be damn sure Chichester will be.

[GlenSTFC]

The players (not just ours, any player) should not have to be told the ‘dangers’ of this type of cup tie! Treat the opposition with respect, train and prepare professionally, play to your best and our superior quality and fitness should see us through. Certainly not expecting a comfortable win but I’m very hopeful of progressing, now don’t let me down!

[Rebellier]

Only half time but I have a bad feeling about this 😕 

[GlenSTFC]

Absolute disaster for their first goal, talk to each other!!! We did well to get ourselves in front and was hoping we’d see it out and although a great strike why do we so many times allow them the opportunity and space to shoot? Draw probably was fair as we were no where near our best, hoping we’re at it from KO Tuesday and do the business.

Good come back from 1-0 down to take a 2-1 lead.

I can only go by Rebels Radio but it seems that over the 90+ minutes Chichester will feel hard done by to only get the draw. 

The positives are that we're still in the hat and have another chance on Tuesday to put things right. 

 

 

[Rebellier]

At least we're still in it. Look at Torquay

Who was the mix up between?

Do we have a talker/leader in the back line if Scott is not playing?

Our first goal was not given by the ref or lino but unbelievably by the 4th official who must have been further away than both of them.

Looks like the balls hit the wheel section that's at the front of the goal.
