FA cup 1st round drawn: Watch: FA Cup first-round draw FC United of Manchester v Doncaster seems to be top tie. Other potential TV ties: Eastleigh v MK Dons Hayes and Yeading v Carlisle Hampton and Richmond v Oldham Oxford City v Northampton Tonbridge Angels v Bradford
I'd say Boreham Wood v Southend would be a more cert of a shock. Underwhelmed being drawn away to Oxford , with prize money being a lot lower this year if Fergie put out a B Team so we could concentrate on the League , that'd do me , plus the fact we lost twice at the Kassam last season.
Very happy with that draw, a real shame that fans can’t go though. We’ve actually avoided Oldham in a cup draw!!
How the hell is Boring Wood beating us a shock? They should be embarrassed with anything less than a comfortable victory. I'm just glad we avoided Cray Valley Paper Mills cos that would be guarenteed TV viewing to watch us sink to new levels of ineptitude.
Do you reckon the players of Cray Valley Paper Mills print their own programmes ? I didn't back you to lose last Saturday which is why you did , I will this Saturday in hope of a Shrimpers win sending Scunny to the bottom of the pile
For all the talk of scrapping the EFL cup, I wonder if we might see the FA cup scrapped instead. FA Cup first round is next weekend but not sure how many games will go ahead now and what the repercussions of that are in terms of pushing back the schedule. I don't think they'll push back the latter rounds with the Euros next summer so you're looking at the first and second round having to go ahead before January.
The first round will feature a lot of non league clubs though. Not sure if they'll fall in to the elite category or whether they might make an exception for the cup.
Great story on Hawksbee & Jacobs on talksport the other day. A Bradford fan set up a just giving page to raise funds for Tonbridge Angels that they would have otherwise missed out on in terms of gate receipts and food and drink when in the stadium. £5500 raised so far Really looking forward to our game live on BBC later
Hope we batter FCUM today. Never been keen on them since they were made or Salford since they were taken over.
I know all they have to do is lump the ball up between the defence and Bursik and they’re onto a winner
Very strong team from us. Josh Sims has looked a class above in league one so he should have a field day
