FA Comps...

nice trip to Rothwell Town in the FA Cup for you lot..and Wingate & Finchley at home in the Trophy...

[YELLOW]

Nice. A new ground to visit.

 

Who did Romford get?

[coupwotcoup]

Potton Utd away... been there before ten seasons ago...

Rothwell Town finished 10th in the Southern League Midlands Division last season and have an average attendance of 136.

Coup, I see they've done the draw for the 1st qualifying round of the Trophy. Would be nice to know who our opponents would be if we get through. I see Billericay are at home to an unnamed opponent so you never know!!!

 

Have they done the draw for the FA Cup 1st qualifying yet? I know before we played Fakenham last year we knew we'd possibly play Lowestoft if we won in the 1st QR.

The F.A. draws have been pulled from anothers website, i wonder if he`s been a bit previous releasing the info 2nd July is the offical date for the draws release.

 

 

[YELLOW]

Yep noticed the draws have been deleted from his site now so best not to jump the gun.

[coupwotcoup]

Apparently draw was put up on FA website in error, but now removed. FA asked TK to remove them until Monday, the official release date.

Will be interesting to see if they redraw it all, or just re-release it with all the extras?

thats the ground. not that bad to be honest. seen worst!

[ronin]

From this picture the pitch looks to have a bit of slope.

 

[Mini Goose]

yea i was gonna post that aswell. dont know if its worse than flackwell heath tho

[Lefty]

o well at least there is covering meaning loads of noise!!

[Mini Goose]

exactly what i thought. first thing i look for in a ground when i look on that site is a descent shelter

[YELLOW]

Don't get too carried away. Looks like we'll know officially on Monday who we've got but as the information was accidently put on the FA site the draw will probably be redone.

[ronin]

I think if it is the true draw (and i think it is) they will just leave it as it is, what`s the point of a re-draw?

[YELLOW]

The FA Cup draw looked fine enough but looking at the Trophy draw, Dartford were due to play Hornchurch in the First Qualifying Round.

 

As a Ryman one North side like ourselves they should start at the preliminary stage unless they've been given a bye.

Well if it is a fact Yella, we went to Rothwell about 8 years ago in the FA Cup, nice little ground and bar.

We drew and played them on the Tuesday at Aveley, as the council had started on our pitch very late.

They finished with 9 men and had 2 sent off in the tunnel afterwards, and of course we beat them 2 0.

Trust you are all well.

[YELLOW]

We are Max, thanks. Looking forward to the new season.

[ronin]

The F.A. Cup and F.A. Trophy draws are now on the F.A.`s website. The original post was correct so we are away to Rothwell Town in the Cup and home to Wingate & Finchley in the Trophy.

[Eastside Urchin]

not the best of draws for you guys,i think rothwell are quite a good side,good leagues up that way.

You should beat wingate though
