FA Cup 1st Round

[Avening Posse]

Well of course we are away again and they will probably have a terrible pitch that is so much smaller than ours. tisdale wont know anything about them. the ref will probably be awful, the crowd will be right on top of us, the tv will be wanting an upset, they might even put everyone behind the ball and try to kick us so its very worrying.............

No Excuses this time city

They'll be driving tractors down that pitch as we speak

We used to hold the record for being knocked out by non-league opposition the most before the days of conference sides invading the league, I wonder if we still hold this dubious accolade ?

Yes...We held the record for a league side being beaten by non league opposition at one point..Crewe or Halifax took that dubious record from us about 30 years ago...

on top of the recent two I can recall Bognor, enfield, Maidstone twice. before that I believe we had alvechurch, Walton and hersham and sure there were some more before that. could technically count Gravesend and Stevenage but we were non league then as well.

Didn't we also get done by D&R before they came into the league.?

Why is it the scummers are always at home and we are always away.....

Why indeed I would be very interested to see the results of any research into our and their cup draws record. Pretty certain the Gaws have had the best of the deal......annoying and frustrating.

BBC have Didcot face Exeter as the headline on their FA Cup article. Possibly a sign of us to be televised again?

 

[Mackster]

Nailed on for the BBC TV game, it's the lead headline on 5Live. The Beeb would hope that the lowest ranked team would get a league side, even better that it was us.

Tis should walk if he can't beat the Diddy men.

Yes 3-0, live on TV.

Strangely we haven't lost there since

And who could forget Curzon.

Or Bognor Regis.
