Think I will make this game with son and granddaughter (she is football crazy)
It’s about a 250 mile round trip, but it just has to be done sometimes. COYB’s

We beat them 2 0 and they looked awful.

Will lightning strike twice?.

Will lightning strike twice?.

Is he a new signing , if so scoring twice looks a good purchase

Was thinking we would get Barnet away considering it to be the worst possible tie.
But, lo, I forgot...Barnet is within easy reach of most Shrimpers so's we could take another 1,000 plus.
FGR would have been a new ground for me, even if equally tough.
But no, we get a team with a great home record just itching for revenge and nowhere near anywhere, unless Southampton is somewhere.
Bill Bryson wrote in one of his best sellers, forgotten which, how boring and dull Eastleigh is, probably the only time anyone has written about the place.
Have felt the world is against us for the last five years, and this just confirms it.

That book is, I believe, 'The Road to Little Dribbling'.

A first round replay

Except I do not think there are any replays after this 4th Round Q. Prize money, per round, has been increased to placate us minnows for missing out on potential lucrative ties.

I’ll revise my definition of a cup run to a 4th Round Qualifier Replay then

Great draw,already beaten them this season and was one of the better performances.Once again i'm not sure why supporters on here think it's a bad draw other then it's away from home? We are southend united we played in the football league for over a 100 years and played in the championship!! We get over 8000 supporters for home games and have a decent ground.Dont u think pub side eastleigh with no supporters should be worrying about us? I'm sorry but we should be smashing all these pub teams and I don't fear them one bit,our away support will make it like a home game.

Nail on head. We should. We are the biggest and best supported in the division but have a tap water budget and won't be anywhere near it this season.

By the time this comes round we'll be lining up a 6-4-0 formation.

We've been playing without any strikers so far this season anyway.
