There's quite a few non-league clubs at home to league clubs, it's more unlikely than likely we will be a live game.

Great draw. I think we'll be one of the Sunday featured games, minimum, and we've got a chance of being the Friday night game, though I suspect they'll go for Salford or (and let's see what the guardians of football morality say when if they're asked) FCUM. Doubt it'll be Portsmouth v Macc as they virtually always go for a non-league team at home.

What is this clervoiance you all seem to think people on turnstiles have for spotting away fans? If I want to see a game and know it's pay on the gate for home fans ticket for away fans and I haven't got a ticket I simply wear no club colours to the match and go in the home end. If questioned "are you an altrincham fan?" My reply "yes watched them for years but live away from the town so can only make a few games" not rocket science. You would have to make it all ticket or no ticket.

Not singling you out just seen this suggested a few times with the Chester game as well, people going to a football match with intent on causing trouble don't wear club shirts and scarfs

United are at home to West Brom Saturday 7th 3pm so the police may well say they can't cover two games in Trafford at the same time.
Odds on the live Friday game will not be in North-West England as it was Warrington v Exeter last year (which incidentally rules out Didcot). I'm thinking Wealdstone v Colchester, Braintree v Oxford or Gainsborough v Shrewsbury, but if they did go for our region again it would be either Salford or FCUM.
I suspect it will suit both the coppers and the BBC to have us at 2pm Sunday again.

Wouldnt be based on accent alone I think it would work and  if you dont then thats fine , if away fans really want to get in the home end as others have pointed out then they probably would .I reckon it will probably be made  all ticket anyway. We have dealt with Tranmere and Grimsby this season .

If they normally take 750 to 1050 away for a league game i reckon from 40 miles away they will double that for an F A Cup game. I would say they will bring around 2,000 but who knows none of us have any feel for the dizzy heights of league one.
Title: Re: Barnsley at Home.

Didn't they take about 6k to City in the FAC Quarters a couple of years ago? Not quite the same but very local and easy trains you'd have to assume in the region of 1500-2k. Like to think we could top the 4600 recent ground record vs Guiseley in the play off final for this. Biggest FL side we've played here for many a year.

Some form of TV is certain, unfortunately just like their big brother in the latter rounds both FCUM and Salford are nailed on for a live game. Still, there's a lot of cash for us to make here and their currently dodgy form maybe a replay isn't entirely out of the question. Two big league games before this but places to be won at Macc the midweek before might inspire a few. Hope some of the injuries cleared up by then. We'll need Rankine's presence.

They are so looking forward to be able to stand up at a game,and play on a muddy pitch !!!
Knowing some Barnsley fans, and only 40 miles away. I think they would bring close to a thousand.
They also think it will be all ticket.

The game at Macc is on the Tuesday after the FA Cup First Round weekend.

If we do get moved to play on Sunday, 8th November 2015, how would that impact on the Macc fixture just two days later?

What helped the Guiseley crowd possibly was that it wasn't all ticket, because the momentum and publicity could build right up to kick off. People who decided late on to attend could do so.

I'm not saying that this match shouldn't be all ticket - the authorities know more than I do about all this - but it could have an effect.

Great draw all the same.

Yes the Sunday matches were all 1400 last year - which enabled me to get the last flight back from Newcastle to Heathrow.

If there are train problems for some of South East Alty in getting to game, I would be more than happy to provide a taxi service!!

On the "all ticket" point, I think the only way that would be workable is if we made sure there was (say) sufficient space for 1500 Barnsley fans, with appropriate stewarding and policing so that the away fans section would not sell out with the consequence of many milling about Yorkshire men

Didn't they take about 6k to City in the FAC Quarters a couple of years ago? Not quite the same but very local and easy trains you'd have to assume in the region of 1500-2k. Like to think we could top the 4600 recent ground record vs Guiseley in the play off final for this. Biggest FL side we've played here for many a year.
Some form of TV is certain, unfortunately just like their big brother in the latter rounds both FCUM and Salford are nailed on for a live game. Still, there's a lot of cash for us to make here and their currently dodgy form maybe a replay isn't entirely out of the question. Two big league games before this but places to be won at Macc the midweek before might inspire a few. Hope some of the injuries cleared up by then. We'll need Rankine's presence.
But going by the manager's comments on the club website we're unlikely to have it - hamstring, a couple of weeks at least, is the gist of the remarks.

There's trains back to London every 20 minutes on Sunday's up until the last departure at 20:55

The connections especially at Stockport seem to be the problem. And praying that there are no engineering works between Redhill and London. Normally it should take about 4 hours Redhill to Alty but not on a Sunday. Lets see what the TV people dictate.

The chester - Alty - Stockport - Manchester trains are only a 2 hourly service on a Sunday but You can get the metrolink to and from Manchester Piccadilly or use the 11, 11a or 370 bus to and from Alty to Stockport

Any replay would be ten days or so after the original tie (i.e. in the week after we play Bromley).

Didn't they take about 6k to City in the FAC Quarters a couple of years ago? Not quite the same but very local and easy trains you'd have to assume in the region of 1500-2k. Like to think we could top the 4600 recent ground record vs Guiseley in the play off final for this. Biggest FL side we've played here for many a year.

Some form of TV is certain, unfortunately just like their big brother in the latter rounds both FCUM and Salford are nailed on for a live game. Still, there's a lot of cash for us to make here and their currently dodgy form maybe a replay isn't entirely out of the question. Two big league games before this but places to be won at Macc the midweek before might inspire a few. Hope some of the injuries cleared up by then. We'll need Rankine's presence.



The game at Macc is on the Tuesday after the FA Cup First Round weekend.

If we do get moved to play on Sunday, 8th November 2015, how would that impact on the Macc fixture just two days later?

 

Last year, our Sunday game at Blyth in the FA Cup meant that our game at Telford, originally scheduled for the Tuesday, was moved to the Wednesday, therefore I think that would also be the most likely outcome this year.It seems likely that at least one of us, will be playing on Sunday, so I believe that Wednesday is now the more likely date for our visit to the Moss Rose, as I think that the League will set the date (Telford were a bit miffed when this happened last year).

The CSH is an amazing asset to the club, it still stops me in my tracks to see how busy it is on non matchdays/evenings with so much going on and so many people using it. Biggest cup tie for 8 years this, should attract our best FA cup gate since the Darlington match.

It may surely be advantageous slightly in terms of potential attendance to have it on a day other than the Saturday so it doesn't clash with the Man Utd game. I wouldn't be too upset certainly to see it on the Sunday. Friday night is the nightmare scenario for people like me living a distance away.

Can't argue with Didcot given their league ranking and also Exeter's historically bad cup form. Salford and FCUM were somewhat inevitable though. Why would FCUM be playing at Bower Fold - assume this is just typical BBC (in)accuracy?

May I respectfully suggest that you should desist from issuing sweeping proclamations about the main stand, as it is clearly not your specialist subject.

And you would be the first to bleat on here if your regular view from your favourite spot on the terraces were to be diminished in any way!

For what it's worth, I think that Didcot and Salford in particular are poor choices for tv, as they'll both be beaten easily (lightning will not strike twice with Exeter especially and Salford has been chosen for the wrong reasons). FCUM, Alty and Maidstone represent the best chance of a cup upset imo.

FYI since you asked,....  The roof height isnt the issue its the width of it,.. the site had a fixed amount of space and was very restrictive. Various options were considered by the club but the building would be half its current width (and therefore useless) if a perfect view of the corner flag was to be kept for a few seats that are almost always empty. The other corner flag also has a restricted view too yet nobody has once mentioned that!  Many many grounds in the UK have restricted view seats, nothing unusual at all and its a few feet around a corner flag we are talking about.

If we wanted a hugely successful CSH, plus the additional income it brings then a few seats with a restricted view is a small price to pay and that was the judgement the club made.

This makes a difference to the Sunday 2pm possibility. By my reckoning there are now currently 22 outstanding ties featuring non leafue sides.

9 where the non league team is at home to a league side and 8 vice versa with 5 ties where both sides are non league.

Now even assuming that all 8 Sunday are from the 9 home ones it leaves a fixture on Saturday. So would they want one like ours for sat MOTD or leave it entirely?

Being totally speculative,  they will be doing a football focus live from one of the Saturday match venues. That indicates there will be an outside broadcast unit of sorts, and a better standard of coverage as opposed to just a camera showing the goals. So that could in theory be on motd as highlights.
