FA Cup 1st round

[A Rebel and a Saint]

I believe congratulations are in order for our friends at Harrogate Railway, who beat Droylsden today 2-0 to get into the 2nd round.

Staines got a 1-1 draw at Stockport, Hampton lost 3-0 at home to Dagenham and Redbridge, and Maidenhead lost 4-1 to Horsham.

Thanks for that KT, didn't really need reminding of that...they're more inconsistant that Slough are at the moment (which is really saying something).

And good news for other Rebels...the scum lost 2-1 against Swindon in the cup.

3,379 at Horsham!! 2,026 at Team Bath!

[Martin]

Jesus those attendances are amazing. Congratulations to Railway. Great for them.

Horsham was being pluged on BBC News as it was 50? years since they had reached this level in the cup and also being linked to their move/new ground.

 

Yes 3000+ in that ground is a real achievment, the big stand down the side helps.

[HorshamRebel]

The locals living around me are going to love that attendance !

 

At the last residents meeting I attended about Horsham's new ground (a few hundred yards from my house), people were moaning about 800 wen Wimbledon turned up.

 

Horsham put tickets on sale on Tuesday and Thursday only, and sold 2000 of them. Maidenhead took at least 6 coaches of fans as well.

 

Anyway, well done to Horsham, and all the others who took scalps on 1st round day.

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

Both Horsham and Harrogate have home draws in the second round.

[HorshamRebel]

Looks like another 3000+ home gate for Horsham, against Swansea.

Maidenhead were doomed from the moment I donned my treasured Slough Town Supporters Club lapel badge, given to me by Dick James in 1961 on the way home from Dulwich Hamlet. Its magic powers saw STFC through first round ties against against Wycombe, Millwall and Walsall and also that fantastic trophy match at Stevenage. Unfortunately experience so far suggests that they only work once a season. Let's hope that the BBC were sufficiently enthused by Nigel Brake's long range tap-in to make us one of their televised games.

 

We had an all round great day yesterday. Thanks to Horsham Rebel for his pre-match message of support on our forum and every good wish to all of you who are striving so hard to keep the name of Slough Town alive in such difficult circumstances.

Well done to Horsham...

 

Lets hope you can cause a major upset in the 2nd round and get a plum tie in the 3rd round too...

 

[brighton_rebel]

That attendance against Maidenhead was amazing, and just goes to show what can be done with the whole town behind you.

For the Swansea game there's even talk of them increasing the capacity to 8,000 with a temporary stand, which in itself is impressive.

I see Staines are getting the live Sky TV coverage next Monday evening, but I won't mention it here as it won't go down well with King Tut

[BFR]

Mention it all you like. I am sure their car park which must have half of its spaces for the Thames Club will cope well

[Matt]

More congratulations to Harrogate Railway as they have landed the live BBC 1 slot for their home tie with Mansfield. I thought it was going to be Horsham v Swansea, but there you go. I hope they do well.

[Barry Scott]

i figure the Horsham - Swansea game could be on Sky, but Sky are notorious for doing League Two vs League One sides as its cheaper
