I see Colchester won their 3rd round FA cup game today. Aah, how that still rankles.
how can an own goal be offside?
Because the bloke who received the ball from his own players was in an offside position before his looping shot was headed by a defender into his own goal...................maybe
I forgot about the 12th yes they'll probably cancel the Wrexham game
raining in durban its understandable
I think there were occasions where the ref was very one-eyed though. Downes, in particular, was all over Rankine going up for headers. He was exactly the same in the reverse fixture earlier this year.
But as you said, if we had taken our chances, we might have had something out of the game.
There'll be a few low attendances if a few of these ties go to replays.
Fisher in the trophy in the late 80s anyone?
13.2.88 FISHER ATHLETIC (FAT3) 1-1 Attendance: 809 Goalscorer: Gary Stewart
15.2.88 Fisher Athletic (FAT3r) 0-0 Attendance: 318 (aet)
22.2.88 Fisher Athletic (FAT3/2r) 1-1 Attendance: 728 (aet) Goalscorer: Ronnie Ellis
25.2.88 FISHER ATHLETIC (FAT3/3r) 1-0 Attendance: 929 Goalscorer: Bobby Fraser
I'll be astonished if we get anywhere near either of those 1988 attendance figures this evening.
Does anyone else recall our four games against Runcorn in the FA Trophy Second Qualifying Round back in 1974?
Yes I remember. I think 2 of the games were at Moss Lane and one of the replays was on a Saturday. It was 1974/5 season when we went out to Wigan the Saturday after we played Everton.
I took the family to Butlins 5 years ago for a long weekend and it felt a very long weekend indeed as Butlins is awful, but the kids liked it.Bognor is actually a lovely little seaside town.
It is still an hour and a half from me and about 50 miles. A lot closer than Alty but you have motorways all the way.
Robert it is a tremendouus dump of a resort, you're either easily pleased or suffering from memory loss. Stony beach, Butlins and a crappy town centre. Arundel nearby is recommended for a drink.
"What, Alty fans moaning? Never. Most obnoxious fans within the Non league system."
