Breaking News F.A Cup 1st Round draw. Southend United vs Charlton Athletic

[sufc4life21]

Birmingham would murder us so wouldn’t want that draw. Col U or another league 2 team locally wouldn’t be to sad.

They might get 8k in first round and an 4-0 win for them against us

I rather get Harborough at home, nice and easy draw and an £45k prize money.

 

[dusterman]

Looking at the teams:

Kettering, Scarborough, Harborough, Horsham, Weston-Super-Mare, Chesham at home would be fine

Or someone like Birmingham, Charlton, Orient, Reading away

Reading away would be great so we can show solidarity against their owner.

 

[greyerfox]

You just know that our bubble of euphoria will be burst with an awful away draw like Aldershot or Rochdale. Is it asking for too much to hope for a home draw? Knowing our FA Cup draw luck, yes, it probably is!

 

[greyerfox]

£45K is a sizable sum on offer to win in Round 1 proper so fingers crossed.

 

[Shr1mperBlue]

The lowest ranked team in Round 1 and 2 and pick up that much needed prize money. Leeds away in Round 3 and a massive cut of ticket revenue

Use the cash to help re-build our North!

A small cup run with a big name draw would cut years off of the plan to rebuild the ground.

 

[Ricey]

Why want them? They have sh*t fans.

My good friend is a Mansfield fan, we joke about playing each other all the time.

Leeds away? What about Man Utd, Spurs, Arsenal or **** Ham away? As gate money would be worth 500k to us.

This is such a good point. Have to look at the bigger picture. So many sides have had a decent run and improved their facilities. Lincoln and Newport (in fact, I think Spurs paid for their pitch). Just imagine we get through and get a really good tie in the 2nd round that could reap financial benefits that could be spent on the north like you said.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Scarborough. Away

That didn't go well last time, did it?

 

[Exiled Shrimper]

Or our beloved Morecambe

We have a 100% winning record against Morecambe in The FA Cup with a 3-0 away success in the first round in 2013/14 (in stark contrast to our league record, which reads 2 draws and 10 defeats in 12 meetings).

 

[It'sGrimUpNorth]

I do miss an away day at Brisbane rd.

 

[Billericay Dickie]

We have a 10% chance of a home tie against lower ranked opposition.

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

I do miss an away day at Brisbane rd.

But financially, better to get them at Roots Hall ( or rats hole as they call it! ).

 

[meerkat54]

Weston-Super-Mare away please, just on a personal preference

I just fancied a trip to Leeds and Elland Road. You can replace Leeds with any big team and my point stands

 

[Tommy2holes]

Either the lowest ranked side at home or Orient or col u away

 

[LeedsSUFC]

Hopefully not Birmingham away... Their adult tickets this year are priced at £37!

A low ranked team, or Boston / Solihull would be okay. An Essex derby for round 2, to set up a Premier League team for Round 3. A cupset against Everton/Palace could be a nice one.

Pretty sure col i would murder us too sadly.

I want the worst team and hopefully a win and a big draw.

Col u aren't that great themselves
