F.A. Cup 2016/2017

Ball Number 43

We're ball number 43 for the FA Cup first round draw tonight. Who do we want?

Personally I want a really low ranked non-league club at home so that we have a chance of making the 2nd round.

 

[Supernaut]

Yep, Westfields at Roots Hall please.

 

[wakes123]

Braintree away.

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

Aldershot away. Revenge ia sweet!

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

If that was the draw I expect it could be a TV game with the rest of the nation hoping we get stuffed. Sounds like fun.:smile:

.......and no doubt, as our history often indicates, we'd roll over and oblige! :smile::winking::'(

Aldershot away. Revenge ia sweet!

Nah the floodlights will go out if we are winning and then we will all get ripped off having to pay again to watch the rearranged fixture

... and lose 3-0!

Given out hit and miss form, surely a non-league side away is the last thing we want this season, as we're likely to come undone?

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

Did any other non-league Essex sides get through?

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

You know it will be Rochdale away or something 'orrible like that !

We'll get turned over and Phil will come out with "We can concentrate on the league now..."

 

[MK Shrimper]

Brackley Town away please. :thumbsup:

 

[undercovershrimper]

I would like a non league team at home. What we will get is Bolton away!

 

[Tommy2holes]

Daggers, Braintree, col u, orient, dover, Maidstone, Barnet, St Albans city, or Boreham wood either home or away would be good.

Doesn't appear to be that many non league sides in the draw this year for some reason.

 

[AndyT]

32 there should be, which is the same each season, though it does seem to look less this season.

1st Round = 40 matches (48 league, 32 non-league)
2nd Round = 20 matches
3rd Round = 32 matches (44 Prem/Champ, 20 2nd Round winners)

 

[Uncle Leo]

Daggers, Braintree, col u, orient, dover, Maidstone, Barnet, St Albans city, or Boreham wood either home or away would be good.

Doesn't appear to be that many non league sides in the draw this year for some reason.

Seeing as the Football League sides are only entering at this stage, I'd say there are as many non-league teams as usual...

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

We will get Scunthorpe or Fleetwood away.

On now! BBC2 live !!!
