Home draw or big league 1 team away

Hopefully the players will get a bonus for 3 great results, the PA system is updated and we don't get into a fixture backlog when we get to the 2nd and 3rd rounds

Excellent today lads, I remember us struggling to beat 9 man vics a few seasons ago..

Also just had a thought....

We might be on Al Jazeera Sport TV even if we get a 3pm kick off in the CUP.

They show three or four matches from the Cup on Saturday 3pm games plus all the usual UK tv times.

Not sure how much they pay to the clubs they show.

There's no way 18000 would go to an FA cup 1st round game. They got 10000 at home last season in the 3rd round. 

Anyway, we will not get a lucrative big crowd/live on TV draw. Oh no. No. No chance.... ;)

i stand to be corrected but dont non league cubs get 50% and league cubs 33.3%  the balance 16.66% going into the fa pot.
thinks could have changed now that we get prize money .

things always change they should stay the same . children should work up chimneys and down pits etc

Its a 50/50 after expenses with nothing to the FA until the third round:

(i) In matches prior to the Third Round of the Competition Proper (other than replayed
matches in the Competition Proper), the net gate receipts of each match shall be
divided equally between the competing Clubs.
(ii) In replayed matches in the Competition Proper prior to the Third Round, 5% of the net
gate receipts shall be remitted to The Association and the balance shall be divided
equally between the competing Clubs.

45% to each Club competing in the match.

we've gained £24,500 in prize money so far.

Second Round Qualifying winners   £4,500
Third Round Qualifying winners   £7,500
Fourth Round Qualifying winners   £12,500

an easy home tie agains a low ranked team would go a long way to helping us net another £18,000 in prize money for winning the first round proper.

A tragic draw for us all after our efforts to get this far.

A souless breeze block ground and what do they get at home, 2k I'd guess so our cut of the gate receipts won't be that great either.

At least Burton has some decent boozers if nothing else.

No not the best draw but not the worst either seeing as we are destined to always be away, Crawley, Aldershot, Stevenage, Mansfield , Guiseley, Barrow etc? Better than any of those, good drinking town plus easy access to Derby later on for a few more for those who like that sort of thing.

Their squad list contains a lot of familiar names from our conference national days. Unfortunately they seem good at home with a good defence, but hardly prolific scorers. We do have a chance, just not a big one! Great beer though.

Will this be played on Sunday 4th November, as the day before Derby are at home to Blackpool. Don't Burton and Derby share the stewarding at both grounds?

Would be absolutely bizarre if that was the case. Surely as a football league club they need to have stewarding arrangements that don't depend on another club?

Bradford City, Preston North End, Tranmere Rovers , Carlisle United, Yeovil Town were all still in the pot.  Really thought a game on TV might be on the cards here.

Its a draw where you think bollocks at the start but the more you get used to the idea the better it becomes putting a brave face on it

Friday night at Burton might just well suit us.



On a side note: Carlisle United v Ebbsfleet United ouch

Looks like this is true. I've had a glance at the two teams' fixture lists and, for example, Burton are playing Accrington at home on Sunday 9th December. Derby are at home the day before.
So I think the game could well be played on the Sunday.

It's not a tie on anybody's wish-list but this is a game that does provide a potential route to round 2 - where more money awaits us.

They will say that the tie must be played on that weekend so they are within their rights to say its on Sunday.

City are away at West Ham  and United play Arsenal on the Saturday so we would get more floating fans on the Sunday.

I'd prefer it on the Saturday though..

Altrincham at home for us.  Possibly one of the most uninviting ties in the draw and I doubt either set of supporters will fancy that.  It's just nice to have a cup tie at home though to be fair.

As Derby are at home we have our usual tinpot steward situation which means it's almost guaranteed to be moved to either the Friday night or the Sunday afternoon.

Our club should refuse outright to play on the Friday night. Simple as that, Sunday fair enough, but after a day at work should players and fans alike really have to brave the M6 on Friday teatime due to burton not having stewards? Friday would put us at a total disadvantage and lower the crowd, we should NOT accept the offer to play on a Friday night......

ITV stated the games were to be played on "the weekend of 3rd and 4th November", which for what it's worth suggests Friday is not an option. It seems most likely that it will be Sunday due to stewarding arrangements, which doesn't suit me personally but I'll make every effort to be there. We're very much in a 'nothing to lose' situation which might actually help our chances. One point for coach organisers to note - I distinctly remember that the last time we went there we were charged ten quid to park the coach.

I think it's laughable that they can't provide their own stewards, I really do.

They've got some of the typical ingredients for a tinpot outfit:

Soulless breezeblock stadium
Copy of the incredibly tedious "Tom Hark" to play whilst easy clapping
Using an outside firm to steward games

For any burton fans reading this, I really don't want to sound disrespectful and credit to you for your success, a respected non league rival you perhaps were.....but decent FA Cup draw material you aint....and that's a sort of compliment coz it'll be tough to progress....to the sort of draw that burton built their success on......not even a new ground to visit.......I'm sure you understand :-)

Yes we do have to borrow Derby's stewards.  It's incredibly embarrassing and most of our lot absolutely hate that we have to move games but it saves us money so it works for our Chairman and the club's finances.  Oxford moaned like f**k last season because we had to move our home game with them to a Sunday because apparently it meant less supporters would be able to come.  There were more Oxford supporters at the Pirelli that afternoon than there were for the Saturday game this season.  Go figure.

Anyway...enjoy your Friday night trip to the Pirelli.  It's unlikely it'll be played on the Sunday because we've got Plymouth away on the Tuesday night.

We have a game on the Tuesday against Guiseley, we should not be playing Tuesday then playing Friday, its frankly unacceptable, the game should be played Saturday, if that's not possible then Sunday, failing that the fixture should be switched to moss lane, simple as that. This is their problem, not ours, we should make it clear that Friday is simply out of the question.

In theory yes, but I'm sure they can make a decent case to say they do indeed provide their own stewards...but not when Derby are at home!

I'm sure this won't be a Friday fixture really - our board and management aren't daft and we're not going to be pushed about by Burton Albion.  I am sure a reasonable way around this will be found that doesn't involve Friday night with the onus on BAFC to get stewards in.

Back in March 2007 we were to go to Burton on a Saturday. But this was moved to Friday to avoid a clash with Derby. Ironically TV then chose Derby v Colchester as their Friday night game. Our game still went ahead on the Friday. So this does at least prove that Derby and Burton can play at home on the same day.
If they have to move the match, then Sunday please!
