If we win tomorrow night we will play.....

Hayes at home in the next round.

[Ryan.c]

Could've had worse. Or we could've been jammy and got another pub side like Dearham away!

 

As for Hayes, they're struggling in the Conference South, I guess both us and Hampton will look upon it as a fair chance to progress.

"Could've had worse. Or we could've been jammy and got another pub side like Dearham away!"

 

Yes indeed, same with the Clarets - but as it is we've drawn DEREHAM away, so we've unluckily avoided the pub teams also!

Besides, pub teams (ie St Margaretsbury) are best to be avoided anyway, because you never know what you could be up against hey?

Of course, an easy passage through the F A Cup first round is an opportunity to help ease those all ready stretched finances...eh, BC...

[Keith.P]

Presently we cannot really speculate about the next round as games against Hampton are always tough. But i do see our friends on the soapbox are expecting it to be a rout against their opposition. We were somewhat guilty of that last season, and look what happened to us !

Gazza you should follow your own advice and not comment on other peoples finances. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />Probably most teams in non league have 'streched finances'.

 

Good luck tomorrow night, we want to see as many local teams as possible progress in the Cup

Blimey NWS. I almost believe you mean that! You could always come down and cheer us on of course. I bet you lot are getting withdrawal symptoms, it's been so long since you've glimpsed the "hallowed turf".

[nws]

Read your post Gazza, you know what you meant. Why would I have a very guilty disposition? I agree with you that the few City fans who made comments about BTFC finances were out of order so practice what you preach.

 

Would have been nice for us to get a home draw as crowd would be bigger and both clubs would earn more from the game.

 

I imagine should you get through and play Hayes your attendance at home will be bigger than if it was away. it seems like the luck of the draw is in our favour so far!

[nws]

Rick I do mean it.I would much rather have an Essex team progress than say one from Kent etc.

 

I wont go as far as cheering you on in person but am really looking forward to our visit at the end of December

I have indeed read my post and nowhere do I mention Chelmsford or their finances...was just asking for a comment from BC...

[Balmoral Claret]

"was just asking for a comment from BC..."

 

Oh! sorry Gazza - didn't realise you were awaiting a response.

Agree wholeheartedly - would concur with you that EVERY non-league club welcomes an infusion of cash to assist with their shoe-string budgets (I assume that's what you were inferring).

[GazzaBTFC]

There you nws....

 

Thank you BC...
