Title: FA Cup Draw on Monday
Post by: One Foot in the Grave on October 02, 2021, 08:16:37 PM: I'd like Atherton Collieries/Marine at home. We'll probably get Guiseley away - we've never won there.

Post by: Alty Bri on October 02, 2021, 10:32:09 PM: Would love either Marine (fairly local to me) or Atherton (brother's team) but let's face it, it'll be Gateshead away!

I'm sure they wouldn't be amused though 😉

Just hope it's home tie

Post by: CRT Butty on October 03, 2021, 04:43:27 PM: York away is the norm.

They'll be even less amused if Marske turn them over in the replay. The dodgy pitch was one of the excuses offered on their forum on Saturday - they may need to make up some new ones.

Don't expect "we missed Johnston" to be one of them.

We've just beaten the current highest ranked team in the competition.

Post by: andrewflynn on October 04, 2021, 08:11:35 AM: York or Chester.

Post by: Inter Alty! on October 04, 2021, 09:07:47 AM: I'd like Alty to get an 'easy' home draw v lower non lge so can get thru to 1st Rd proper then get money spinning TV game v big EFL club away...

Would like Atherton Colls (if they get passed Marine in replay on Tues)... but probably end up with usual ie either York, Chester, or Stockport...

We should fear no-one way we are playing! :)

Hope Southport win the replay. I like visiting Haig Avenue and it's not much further than a home game for us.

Post by: Alty Bri on October 04, 2021, 03:42:42 PM: Southport is practically a home game for me. I've seen them this season and they will be no pushovers.

Title: Re: FA Cup Draw on Monday
Post by: andrewflynn on October 04, 2021, 04:10:28 PM: Eight consecutive away draws? Wonder what the record is in that regard?

Similar to Chorley; who didn't win a single of their first 6, but finished 7th and a mega run in the cup.

Still we e just beaten top of the national, we shouldn’t be worried about bottom of the north!

Post by: robininstockport on October 04, 2021, 05:43:18 PM: Southport would be better all round

Post by: rorysgrandad on October 04, 2021, 08:23:18 PM: Are the FA aware we have a home ground?
Title: Re: FA Cup Draw on Monday
Post by: Hugh on October 04, 2021, 09:38:36 PM: It's alright, we're at home to Nantwich in the Cheshire cup! When is that anyway, or have they not decided yet?

I'd treat every game the same, personally, but I don't expect against 4TH QR to be a "walkover" either.

Turn up, professional job and move on, even if it's replay.
