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

[Danshrimp1]

We do seem to get terrible draws in the fa cup.

Tbf apart from the Chelsea tie for which we joined the fa cup later because of being in the championship. I can't really remember any decent draws in the fa cup in the last 30 years.

We were in League One that year, we drew Spurs the year we were in the Championship

We'll get what we get, the trick is to progress regardless of who we are drawn with. Nothing is impossible.

 

[danbowen]

Would love a decent draw but you just know we will get Carlisle or Morecambe away

plus don`t forget Barrow

 

[Shrimper83]

My guess Kettering home or away Nile Ranger showing us what we are missing

 

[JD]

By hook or crook we need to get to the third round. The riches from a plum away draw are huge for a club in our position.
I’ll take any old **** in a home draw please.

Lately this is true.

2nd worst team we could have drawn this year

The only thing we would be missing is more aggravation and we have only just got rid of another wrongun allegedly.

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

it's bound to be Mansfield away. The last time, in 1969,

That was the one & only time i've ever been there!. Maybe wrong, but i seem to recall when we were 2-1 down & near the end of the game, Gary Moore's shot or header hit the crossbar?.
And for them to get West Ham at home in the 5th rd really rubbed salt in the wound?. With the crowds we used to get back then, had we played West Ham at home, imo the crowd would have nudged 30,000.

 

[Hampshire Shrimp]

Jumping the gun but assume if we got a "big" team athome it would be STH's first dibs on tickets?

Or those that went to Eastleigh?

I thought that was the league Cup

Would like a lower ranked team home or away

My brother would always talk about that game. I think the main incident was a shot by us (Moore I think) that was over the line but not given. As a result and illogically I’ve disliked Mansfield to this day!

Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[RHB]

Thanks for clearing that up.

You're welcome, any time.

 

[LennySUFC]

I've set expectation that we will get a draw like Barnet away.

 

[Paddypel]

Charlton Away, a Macauley Bonne stoppage time winner to endear himself to the fans. Would like it to be a sunday fixture as I get back off holiday at 3pm saturday.

As we always tend to get a crappy draw and also history has a habit of repeating it self, it's bound to be Mansfield away. The last time, in 1969, was after we had scored 19 goals in the first two rounds against King's Lynn and Brentwood respectively. Hoping for a big club in the Third Round we got the impossible draw away to nearly invincible Swindon Town which, against all odds, we won 0-2. Our reward for all that was a bloody away tie to Mansfield, which we lost 2-1. At least, I rememeber that the beer was good at that time!

Aaah, Mansfield.

I remember us getting drawn away at Arsenal in FACR3 in 1970. Scored early, withstood an onslaught, but they got a late equaliser from John Radford.

Home replay, went 2-0 down, and then in the second half gave one of our best ever performances to win 3-2. Genuine, back page of the paper headline stuff.

Round 4 saw us at home to fourth Division Mansfield. And we lost 0-2.
