Agree with that, thing is we wont be putting out our seconds, we will hopefully play the side that played yesterday, we should be in the second round, but if we draw then the chance of the replay live on TV could make us a bucket load
Of course there is a risk of losing against a FL side, but there are some occasions when doing so you are not expected to win. However, when a FL team is playing a non-league team the FL team is expected to win everytime. When they don't it provides the headlines of "Giant Killers". That was the point I was making in preferring a FL team. The expectation is much lower.
Well if they do that, the game will be postponed and we'll both be 67 grand poorer. Have seen the long range weather forecast, and high winds and lashing rain are currently predicted for Friday.
Can't see these apocalyptic conditions on my forecast, but even were they to happen the TV has a way of making sure the game goes ahead, don't worry!
I understood what you posted just didn't agree with it. last f a cup game we won was v Nuneaton four nil and the gap between us and warrington is greater than that gap. You are right that the expectation is much lower playing a league side but the success rate of us winning such games recently is also much lower. If it goes wrong it is much worse losing to a non league side as it is embarrassing, but if we drew the likes of warrington every fa cup first round we should be winning far more often than not imo and that's why I would always prefer to play the lower ranked side.
"didn't agree with it"? I didn't say that we would be better off playing a FL side, had I done so I could understand others disagreeing with that view.
