FA Trophy Draw

[David Holden]

Away to Tonbridge Angels (apparently)

[Harry J Allstars]

I see Canvey have yet another incredibly easy draw at home to either Cray Wanderers or Kingstonian.

[David Holden]

Both of whom are in the same division as Tonbridge I believe.

[Harry J Allstars]

The point I was making is that every year they seem to get easy draws while we get relitive hard draws against promising looking conf south teams.

 

Although not on this occasion.

[Harry J Allstars]

Aha a twist in the tale Tonbridge drew with East Thurrock United, replay tommorrow night.

[JFW]

Tonbridge drew with East Thurrock - replay on Tuesday, so it might be a trip to Essex!

Last year we were at home to Eastbourne and the year before we were at home to Weston Super Mare.

[A Non E Mouse]

Harry - how can you begrudge us an easy draw?

 

We got knocked out of the FA Cup by Burnham - they may appear easy on paper to you but we sure do make it difficult for ourselves when it comes to beating them <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Drummer Scott]

Tonbridge would be better for the crowd I'd say.

[Slartibartfast]

Tonbridge crowd was 201 last year.

[Harry J Allstars]

We played East Thurrock in a pre-season friendly and I think I remember someone saying we got about 80 down there so i'm affraid Slarti that Scott has it!*

 

*Exclamation mark added for effect.

[Drummer Scott]

Yeah we took about 10 if that to the friendly against East Thurrock.

[Drummer Scott]

Tonbridge have averaged gates just below 400 this season, whilst East Thurrock have averaged only 230.

[Alan W (GNFC)]

Replay tomorrow week now - floodlight problems apparently.

 

East Thurrock are 8th in Ryman Premier - Tonbridge 6th in Ryman 1.

Oh please, if we can't beat East Thurrock or Tonbridge Angels,
then Daish would deserve an immediate sacking.

[Drummer Scott]

Not neccesarily. Daish might play a weakened squad like Andy Ford did sometimes did in the Trophy and we may go out to concentrate on the league.

 

Either that or we will have our usual luck, with the exception of last season and fall at the first hurdle <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Slartibartfast]

Whats to concentrate on, We won't be involved in either the play-offs or the relegation battle. If we don't do something in the cups then the season will be finishing a month early again.

The Trophy (unlikely but worth a go) and the KSC (unpopular but our best chance) are our only chances of winning something this season.

[gnfcmightymole]

i agrre with sarti at least we have somethimg to go for

[Hannah]

I'm going to this one, Tonbridge/Thurrock arn't far away <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Best not be complacent, Slarti (I'm referring to the latter situation or course)!

No pressure then, what with our generally abysmal record in the Trophy. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
