FA Cup Draw

[Laz]

It's Wingate and Finchley at home. I seem to remember we beat them 6-1 away a few years back in the league cup or whatever. I think they may have finished with 9 men. Should mean £7,500 prize money is ours.

[ESG]

Presuming of course we actually turn up to play (... saturday)

 

 

[Laz]

Let's hope so.

[Rob_the_Saint]

Agreed. I still have nightmares about Brimsdown Rovers.

[Laz]

I think the days of losing to the likes of "Brimsdown" and co, are over, don't you.

 

Last time we played them, Wingate didn't have any players above 5'6" (or so it seemed). All their players have to be Jewish, so maybe that explains the height problem.

 

 

[HelenC]

Are you serious that we get £7,500 if we win that 2nd qualifing game? Seems quite a lot not that I'm complaining!

That's barely a week's wages for our lot, Helen <img src="/forums/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

[HelenC]

True!

It gets a lot better than that: I think the following two rounds are about £20,000, then the competition proper goes up to £40,000+. That's based on last years figures, but I see no reason for it to change. Therefore I think a win against Wingate is essential; however, they are probably thinking the same.

 

A few more rounds in the cup and we could probably afford to have free Breezers in the bar, which will doubtless please student scroungers like HelenC!

[Guest]

Wingate fan here.

 

Just for the record, all our players don't have to be Jewish. the motto of the club is to mix Jewish and non-J players together in competitive sport.

 

however you are correct in remembering that we have had a height problem in recent years.

 

I'd like to say that in the FA Cup anything can happen. We have also had freak defeats to the likes of Brimsdown and Brook House. We have also overturned Ryman giants such as Braintree and Bishops Stortford in recent years. No match is a forgone conclusion, even though SAC are clear favourites.

[Guest]

Braintree and Stortford are giants now?

[Guest]

Im trying to be friendly and put a valid point across but the word petty springs to mind.

 

they are both in the Prem Lge arent they? And considering we were in Div 2 or 3 at the time(cant remember which because we yo-yo'd a bit), they were huge clubs.

 

The difference then was a lot greater than the 1 division difference between WF and SAC now

[Webbo MFI]

Thanks for the comments Blue Boy....

 

Lets hope for a good game (and a City win) a week Saturday!

[Guest]

I wasn't having a pop at you blue boy, just a light hearted jape at the expense of the alleged giants, see you in 12 days.

Is this guy for real, Zimmo? Or does he not take the time to read things properly? And what is a riund? <img src="/forums/images/icons/confused.gif" alt="" />

[Laz]

Helen, I hardly sloped off. I just wanted to go home and top myself. I guess I could manage a Breezer or two on Saturday.
