Cracking draw that. Excited for this now!
-
Will be an amazing day :)
-
Thought we'd be a shoe-in for a TV game with that draw, but I reckon that privilege will go to M*cc away at Portsmouth.
-
Nice one ;D
-
TV may also go for FC United of Manchester v Chesterfield
-
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.
-
Superb Draw for Alty is that. Might even get a live TV 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.
-
I reckon we'll be picked for highlights.
-
Fantastic draw! Should be a decent crowd and a featured MOTD game at the very least!
-
Hopefully if it's all ticket then tickets will go on sale at Saturday's (biggest game of the season) with a voucher from Saturday's game getting you tickets
-
Happy with that, get the word spread far and wide lets get a full house. I assume it will be ticketed?
-
Fourth from bottom of league one and second bottom in the form table got to have a chance against them. Salford City will be on BBC
-
Hopefully if it's all ticket then tickets will go on sale at Saturday's (biggest game of the season) with a voucher from Saturday's game getting you tickets
Any need for all ticket ?
-
No way will Portsmouth v Macc be a live game.
Salford will be, FCUM probably.
I reckon we will be a Sunday match on the BBC, but not live.
-
Get Darren Gough tweeted if your on Twitter get him talking about it on talk sport
-
Barnsley away form is poor, one win and one draw
-
Hopefully if it's all ticket then tickets will go on sale at Saturday's (biggest game of the season) with a voucher from Saturday's game getting you tickets
Any need for all ticket ?
They got 8,700 on Saturday and its 40 miles away
-
Shouldn't have thought it will be all ticket, Barnsley seem to only take 500ish to away games

would be suprised if it's all ticket, mind we struggled with 500 from Chester on Saturday
-

Maybe ticket for away fans only ?
-
Good draw, we have a chance and that should attract a decent crowd and at least TV highlights. Could have been a lot worse.
-
They're eminently beatable. Apart from the crap away form, they lost at home to Fleetwood on Saturday. Bring it on.
-
Can't wait for the thread about segregation. 8)

Not sure that would work being 40 miles away, but we'll see what the police say
-
Cracking draw that.
I hope this gets moved to the Sunday for TV:-
1) for TV money
2) So i can go out on the beer.
I will be there Saturday for sure but without a belly load of beers, at least I will remember the game !!!
-

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
-
I hope the bloke who fell asleep in there bogs comes the game
He will put some revenue in to the club if he gets to are barr

The accent would give it away.
-
Having now looked at the rest of the draw I reckon we'll be a highlights game. Live games will be Salford v Notts County,FCUM v Chesterfield and Maidstone v Yeovil.

I'll warn london alty to work on their mancunian accents so they dont end up in the away end then

I have a timperley accent could be trouble ahead

The point being no Alty fan would have a Darren Gough type Barnsley accent.

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.

agreed, a good shout. I reckon maybe Dicot v Exeter also.

Been on the Barnsley forum and they think it's hilarious we reckon they only take 500 away. One guy is saying they will bring 2 to 3 thousand lol.

Hang about, we have Scottish and Irish fans that come to games. You can't judge on an accent alone. It's ridiculous.

Maidstone on their plastic pitch to a Yeovil side at the bottom end of league two could be an upset

I would be suprised if they brought anymore than Chester, and they defo will bring nowhere near as many as either Grimsby or Tranmere
-
I see Barnsley have a game at Coventry on Tuesday the 3rd so that might rule out Friday night. I hope they don't replace their manger before the tie like milwall did.

We won't be the live BBC game tbh so I doubt Friday night is an issue.

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 .
-
Millwall Novenber 10th 2010 was Away ticket only yes i know its further away etc.
Let the Clubs, Police, Fa advisors do there job.

yes which resulted in no away fans coming, and a crowd only a little over 2k - payday lost

"A guy on their forum fancy us to take less than Grimsby and Tranmere?
Clearly they don't realise that we've the 2nd highest away average in league 1."
-
In league games their average away following has been between 748 and 1,057 over the last 5 years if that's any use.

figgy, send the link to their forum. I can't see any of these comments
Also they only took 200 to Chester last season
-
Great draw. Was just praying to stay away from FC United.
I'm sure Barnsley fans realise that ticket and segregation matters are decided by GMP and South Yorkshire Police liason officers and not fans on forums.

Got a rum little following have the dingles
-
I didn't realise just how badly Barnsley are doing at the moment. Having trawled through some of their forum threads, I'm yet to find one Barnsley fan who is confident of victory. They obviously don't know we're down to just 12 fit senior players.
-

Wasn't it all ticket? I remember having one.
-
It was all ticket only 2200 about
-
Tesco was packed that day
-
Great draw against a big club. Would be astounded if they only took 500, Reckon they'll fancy the away day and bring at least 1000 to ML, should be a cracker!
-
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.
-
They will probably bring about 700 because they won't regard it a big match which is still a fine turnout

???
League teams get a less (a lot less) for FA cup games - not more!
They will bring 500 tops
-
It will be a new ground for many of them. Chance to stand on a terrace and not too far or expensive on a train. Think they will be up for this.
-
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.
-
Reading their forums, they think it is an insult that they would only bring 500.
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?
-
Maybe they'll move it to Wednesday, Especially if macc go to Portsmouth on the Sunday also

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.
-
I really hope that this match is not switched to a Sunday when train times are awful. I couldn't get to Burton on a Sunday but Saturday would have been no problem.
Am I correct that the Sunday FA CUP 1st Round matches last season were 2pm Kick off times?
-
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
-
There's trains back to London every 20 minutes on Sunday's up until the last departure at 20:55
-
And a direct train to Exeter at 17:07

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.

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.
-
Does anyone know when the TV channels decide on their games?
I only ask as i need to plans for other things that weekend.

I suspect next day or so. Needs police approval etc. before everything is confirmed. The TV people have probably starting approaching clubs already.
-
The TV people have probably starting approaching clubs already already have Salford City and FCUM provisionally lined up for live ties.

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
-
Flights are looking sh*tter by the second, hope they decide on time and day soon.
That and convincing the wife that coming over twice in a week (Bromley following week) is a good idea.

Can't see it being anything other than Sunday 2pm

Tell her that staying for a week in sunny Altrincham is a good idea Uncle G! That way you can catch the replay in the midweek if there is one as well!

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

I'll never accumulate enough brownie points to make that a possibility.

If it is made all ticket will the restricted view seats in the main stand due to the poor design of the CSH be cheaper than normal main stand tickets?

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).

Corrected for you. Try harder.
-
Every game, bar the two or three that get televised, should be played on Saturday at 3PM. I'm not a fan of what the BBC are trying to do with the Sundays.
-
The CSH is fantastic but the whoever designed it dropped a major bollock,there's no getting away from that.
-
Talking of tickets, do we think we'll hear any news before the end of the week on what's happening, would be great if we could get a sizeable gate on Saturday on the back of selling the tickets

Think,' the proof in the pudding' is that the CSH has been a resounding success .
Time to move on me thinks.

The building is a fantastic asset but badly designed, why oh why wasn't the roof pitched the other way to prevent these issues. Possibly meddlesome planners concerned with height at the extrnal boundary?
-
Now that those that were sat in any of those seats originally have been catered for I'm not arsed that a couple of day trippers might not be able to see a corner flag. 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.

Using last year and the official site as a guide, the draw was made on the monday and the match date confirmed on the thursday.
Just have to wait and see. Im sure the club want things sorted asap.

day trippers think you've had to many united fans moaning in your cab
-
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.
-
Why are united and city at home a week Saturday
-
Man City away at Villa according to BBC Sport?
-
Why are united and city at home a week Saturday
p
United home Saturday, city away Sunday.
Looking like a Sunday game
-
So city will be on TV I don't think it matters either way

http://www.thefa.com/news/the-fa-cup/2015/oct/fa-cup-first-round-proper-tv-ties-announced
Didn't think FC United would knock back the tv coverage once there was some decent dosh on the table.
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?
-
Why are FCUM playing at Stalybridge?
-
I'll be shocked if we're not a highlights game on MOTD along with Maidstone v Yeovil.
-
So we're still in the dark then...
When do we find out the BBC's Sunday feature games?
-
Now that those that were sat in any of those seats originally have been catered for I'm not arsed that a couple of day trippers might not be able to see a corner flag.
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!
-
It has been diminished, now we get over 600 I have no idea if we've scored or not at the golf road end. It's a BBC typo by the way, it's at moston and they are all shouty about it, but will bank the money to further their fight against a cup they didnt have to enter in the first place

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.

I think we are a shoe in for Sunday at 2pm

On this basis, I withdraw my previous comment on the matter. :)

The CSH is fantastic but the whoever designed it dropped a major bollock,there's no getting away from that.
The building is a fantastic asset but badly designed, why oh why wasn't the roof pitched the other way to prevent these issues. Possibly meddlesome planners concerned with height at the extrnal boundary?
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.

In defence of the BBC and their accuracy...
It's an FA statement, not a bbc one.
Pitchforks away please gun jumpers

What a fkn surprise. FCUM and Salford cashed in..
I bet that 67 grand will stop the class of 92 going broke..

Very easy to predict. The joys of having the media in your pocket.

First ever time in the first round, I know they're only there because they've got some cash now, but they were always going to be on telly Co92 or not.

I to am not surprised I can't see their bbc seeing an upset this year but we may also not beat Barnsley

how many times did Ryan Higgs play for the class of 92 youth side by that stage he was a regular player in the first team

I need a bit of help here. I've re-read the following link a number of times. I can't see any mention that there's going to be any ties shown on MOTD on Saturday night what with all this new coverage.
http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/34657302
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?
-
Port Vale v Maidenhead moved to 3pm Sunday to avoid clash with Stoke v Chelsea on the Saturday apparently.

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.
Or I could just be talking bollocks...
-
With the options of the games left I would think we will be a game on a highlights show

And given BBC Sport close proximity to Moss Lane, Football Focus could well be at ours.

there isn't a FA cup highlights show on Saturday night anymore for rounds one and two. Well wasn't last year anyway

There's the highlights show on Sunday teatime. That could have a feature game or two possibly?

yes but the BBC focus is on the Sunday, they will only have proper cameras at the eight sunday games for starters
Lets just get Barnsley beat, TV can wait for the next round

Football focus live from a ground is Saturday. Final score and the highlights show is Sunday.
We will just have to wait and see.

If it is made all ticket will the restricted view seats in the main stand due to the poor design of the CSH be cheaper than normal main stand tickets?
Yes
