That's a great draw ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Whilst knowing Alty we will mess up, but happy with that. We need the money.
-
FC Halifax Town get the dream draw of Abbey Hey at home.

I just knew it. You can smell Bishop Auckland from Shildon.
-
They seem to have beaten someone 11-0 in the league!
Played two at home, scored 13, conceded none.
We should have too much for them but not an ideal venue..
-
They beat the mighty South Shields 11-0.
Not entirely confident about this one. Need a fully fit squad!!
-
It has horrible echoes of Tow Law Town....!

Another potential banana skin ::)
-
£4500 at stake. 8)
-
said I wasn't going to this fa cup game but I've been straight on national rail this morning.....
-
They are three levels below us in the football pyramid. As mentioned elsewhere Alty should have enough about them to win.
Lose the game and avoid the forum that evening. :(
-
we all knew we were getting a horrible draw. but we might aswell be optimistic. 1-1 and win the replay ;)
-

id take 1-1 now
-
We have to win this, we really do. Even a draw and then take them back to Moss Lane and beat them there would be great. I know too well about our horrible record, but we did get some tough draws with the exception of witton away, and we should be looking to finally break the cup curse. Sinnott's standing will go up a significant amount if we do manage to win a cup game or two. Come on Alty!
-
If we lose there it will be depressing, I agree with you we have to win this, we really do.
-

id take 1-1 now
anything but a thrashing tbh. dont wanna see another poor fa cup performance
-
A piece of sh*t 0-1 win will suit me just fine. A few grand in the bank and within sniffing distance of a decent tie.
-
I agree it's a banana skin.....if we're not careful it could turn into a hot potato......
it's got humilating defeat in front a couple of hundred rosey cheeked home fans written all over it.
But not this year! this year it's our year!!!....we may as well go out and spend the £4,500 now! ;D ;D ;D
c'mon Alty!
anyone else noticed the nawty draw of the round? Salford City v FC United Of Manchester ....tasty!
-
We haven't scored in the cup for 4 years, time to delete that depressing record.
I agree with Jezza lets get down to Harvey Nichols, the cash is ours
-
I reckon we will progress past Shildon with comfort
-

Must be tie of the round that one, didn't realise Darren Sheridan was Salfords manager.
-

We knew that whatever the draw, it was always going to be a hard one (Halifax, Chester ect.) or a banana skin
-
Lose the game and avoid the forum that evening. :(
Just like every other game in that case ;)
-
2- 2
-
Some of you lot are puddled, a tough draw, a horrible draw! If we play to our standard, it will be a comfortable passage into the next round and it is about time that happened. I for one am looking forward to it and should be able to travel up for the game.

even if we do play to the best of our ability its still gonna be tough. so yes its a horrible draw. its a massive game for them and they will work hard and play to the best of their ability, no matter what this IS a tough draw. in my opinion this is a harder draw than witton last year which is kinda worrying :/
-
I reckon we will progress past Shildon with comfort
who is this comfort have we made a new signing ? ;)
-
A word of warning to anyone going there by public transport. My son lived up there for a while. It is a Newcastle stronghold. Anyone walking around in red and white stripes should be very careful. Geordies are not the brightest of people at the best of times. On a Saturday night after a few brown ales they can take offence to what they see as a group of stray mackems. As for the game, a comfortable 4-0 win.
-
Red bllack?
-
The biggest game in lee sinnott's tenure in my opinion
-
oh hell. the smell of banana skin is strong in the nostrils.
-
The biggest game in lee sinnott's tenure in my opinion
Its a good draw, avoided the likes of Chester and co. with a real chance of going through.
The draw could have been a lot worse IMO.
-
Agreed, let's wait and c wot happens
-
Good draw. With our attacking talents we'll have far too much for fat northern league centre halves. bring on macc town

I don't know where your son was living but don't think it was Shildon!! We are 30 miles south of Newcastle and I for one do not class myself as a Geordie - the main reason being I'm a Mackem. Where you've got this idea that you will be beaten up for wearing red and white stripes is beyond me!! You will be offered a warm welcome by our supporters and people of Shildon. As for being a Newcastle stronghold - that's rubbish - Crewe is about 30 miles from Manchester - is that a Man City or Man Utd stronghold???
The railway station is about a mile or so walk from the ground though. I agree with the Geordie bit ;D ;D
As for the game I think that it will be close. It's a tough tie for us but Skelmersdale came to our place a couple of seasons ago expecting a walkover and we comfortably beat them 2-0
Our FA Cup record this season is played 4- won 3- drawn 1 - goals for 16 - goals against 2
-
Goals for 16 - goals against 2 makes bleak reading given our leaky defence. Forget what league Shildon are in. It's a cup game, how many times have we beaten the bigger club?
This is a nasty fixture and no doubt we'll have to be on top form. No excuses Alty.
-
It's well documented that the Northern League is the best level 9 league in the country. I reckon that most of the top teams in our league could compete comfortably in the Evo-stick (if it's still called that).I know that's a league below you but I' m looking forward to the game as it's a big challenge for us and hopefully Altrincham fans will be impressed by our standard of football.

Thanks for the info. Alty have no chance, we haven't even scored an FA cup goal in 5 years. It will be a walk over for Shildon. Please take it easy on us, we don't travel well either but Alty fans are a very friendly bunch. What pies do you serve there?
-
;D Nice one Pukka pieman - dont know what pies we have but dont think they're pukka mate- sorry!! There's a fish shop just down the road that the Skemmy fans raved about when they were up and it's still as good as ever. We're a friendly bunch as well so looking forward to some good crack and I'm not buying into the idea you have no chance - I watched your Oxford City highlights- how many chances did you miss???
Also if any of you fancy getting up early for a pre-match slurp I'm sure I'll be up for that

We should travel in decent numbers, we had a good following at our last visit to that region in the FA Cup when we were at the now defunct Newcastle blue star

Bonz, I'm intrigued to know more about South Shields? How bad were they or were you that good?

From the South Shields Forum:
Very probably a record defeat, and most certainly a scoreline to raise incredulous eyebrows, more like a cricket score. What one can say is that harsh reality is a lesson to be learned from, when there is no immediate consolation so acute and with painful embarrassment on such a scale. The season to date with the resources currently available on the field and with the clubs financial situation in mind has been reasonably pleasing, with only two narrow defeats by the odd goal to speak of. Money as ever is the catalyst, and without it you cannot spend it, though having said that, tonights result was an absolute nightmare, unexpected and out of character and something the players will have to live with, certainly it will do the profile of the club no credit and will live long in memory. To try and find believable reasons just how such a scoreline can be possible is to examine both teams and where they are. Shildon from the start were yards faster, wanted the ball, and literally destroyed a feeble Shields defence for speed and technique. The railwaymen headed over the bar on eight minutes, a portent of things to come as they moved menacingly forward with purpose and design. Shields fell behind to a soft goal on 18, when the ball was lost, with weak and indecisive defending,the player beaten easily and the ball lobbed accurately over the goalkeeper to open the scoring, schoolboy stuff. On 30 the floodgates were opened with three goals in as many minutes, with defending so dismal as to be non existent,and goals really gift wrapped and given away and the goalkeeper left helpless and the game gone,an awful mess to witness. Wightman on 34 and again on 40 shot wide on both occasions when put through. Just before half time the procession continued with a 4th, and another example of lack lustre half hearted effort in defence. It was noticed that Shildon on the few occasions their goal was threatened lofted clearance balls high and well wide of the danger area, whilst Shields allowed themselves to be caught and repeatedly paid the penalty. Chapim again lost the ball in a dangerous position, and a snap shot claimed goal no. 5, a free kick claimed goal no. 6 and immediately a 7th was put away for half time. Shields supporters were silent and shell shocked and home fans were jubilant. It was remarked by a Shildon supporter that their team is not allowed to play Sunday football, and it really showed tonight, whereas Shields looked nothing like the team that played so well against Bishops in the second half on Saturday, Sunday football has a lot to answer for. The second half saw a quick 8th goal as the nightmare continued and it was all too easy. Smith shot over with a decent effort as Shields made an effort on 60 and for a while played some decent football, but on 65 former Mariner Rob Briggs fired in a fine shot for no. 9, that was followed two minutes later by a free header from a corner to 10, even though Shields had six players in the goal area ....Number 11 followed some time later to complete the demolition and a collapse so complete that really defies adequate explanation, outplayed by a better team, yes but in such a fashion for a defeat so huge is reason for soul searching by players and management alike. For the supporters, a bitter disappointment beyond doubt to see their team thrashed so mercilessly, it is for the team to now regroup, and try and prove a point in the next game for themselves individually and as a team and move on. It will be a hard season, and survival in the first division is the priority, no more no less, and to remember this night and try and put matters right here after as best they can.

That's someone who can write, but needs to learn that less is more.
Anyway, I'm not too bothered that they battered South Shields. From what I can glean, the Northern League is unusually strong for that level of the pyramid but we still have a better squad of players. I can't accept they have a Geordie Damian Reeves with a pathological hatred of travelling more than 30 miles to matches. If we take this game very seriously - as I'm sure we will with memories of Witton still fresh in the mind - we should progress.

The main thing that sticks out there is the absolutely terrible condition of the pitch. Good grief.
-
As mentioned elsewhere, we are a team from several leagues higher up the pyramid and should be expecting to go there and win. We have played on ropey pitches before so lets get that excuse out of the way.
Lets get into them from the off and our fitness and better football ability should see us through. No regrets like how the team trudged off against Witton last year.
Its a good draw this and we have an excellent chance of making some money.
No regrets Alty!

I love the fact they have those paddocks of standing behind the dugouts that seem compulory in the North East where bears stand and berate opposing managers.

They started off very well mate - I thought we were in for a hard game!! We were brilliant going forward though and looked like we would score every attack. They had chances as well and give them credit their heads never dropped even at 11. We hit the post three times as well!
Here's a link to our last round game against Durham City - hope it works - if not I think it may be on Durham City's website

Mr Birch would have a field day up there!

Out of interest, and this is going off topic for which I apologise, does Dennis still attend away games despite being banned from Moss Lane?

How many alty do you think will make the journey?

100 would be a good effort in my humble opinion.

It'll be more than 100, despite us being terrible in it, people still turn out for the FA Cup, we had great followings at Kendal rushden Newcastle bs etc in recent years

Just to let you know that this game was played last season against Spennymoor who finished champions. Our pitch was relaid during the Summer and is much better now although admittedly there are still a few bobbles. Our style suits a nice playing surface and doesn't every club wish they could have a billiard table type surface to play on???
As for an earlier post by SammyH8 regarding fat Northern League centre halves - how many Northern League games has he seen? - as Banbury Alty would say - good grief!!
-
Also pleasing to see that there will be a good travelling support. Every bit helps for us smaller clubs!
What time will you be planning to arrive?

I am plannig to make it up there. As said before we normally turnout for the Cup although our past history isnt great.
What are they thoughts of the club facing Altrincham FC? Must be one of the biggest games in your history (not taking the piss there like)
-
We made first round proper a few years ago against Notts County and took over 1,000 fans down there. Only Leeds United beat us for the number of away fans at Notts County that season. We were beaten 7-2 but gave a good performance and at least we scored 2 against a league side. As for big clubs - dont you know that Darlington are in our league now?? I'm not taking the mickey either :D :D
-
Is Mike Armitage still at the club?
-
Unfortunately Mike passed away a few years ago. I didnt know him very well but I know he was a fantastic servant of Shildon AFC
-

pissed crowds if my knowledge of the north east is accurate!
-
We get around 200 but we can attract a lot more with cup games and local derbies against the likes of Bishop ,West Auckland and Spennymoor. Whitley Bay in the vase quarter final a couple of years ago we got 1500. There might be around 500 there if you fetch as many as you're saying
-
Yes York Alty a few of us like a drink - none more so than me! What better way to spend a Saturday than a few beers starting around 11 - 12 o'clock ,get to the ground around 2 another couple before the game. Another at half time and then a few more after the game - beats going shopping with the missus anyday!!
Got to be careful though - I went to the bar 5 minutes before the end of the first half in the 11-0 game and missed three goals and then missed another one while I was stood having a gypsy's at the start of second half ;D
-
Its a strange league your in this year with so many teams from the area including darlington. There's plenty of local derbies. It will be close depends how the first 20 mins goes really.
-
Aye Toff apple you're right. Darlo are top at the moment but they've played nobody of note yet to be honest. They got beat by Guisborough last week 4-1 and both ourselves and Spennymoor have stuffed Guisborough 6-0

True - but since when has 11 been regarded as a decent cricket score by a team...?!

;D Nice one Pukka pieman - dont know what pies we have but dont think they're pukka mate- sorry!! There's a fish shop just down the road that the Skemmy fans raved about when they were up and it's still as good as ever. We're a friendly bunch as well so looking forward to some good crack and I'm not buying into the idea you have no chance - I watched your Oxford City highlights- how many chances did you miss???
Also if any of you fancy getting up early for a pre-match slurp I'm sure I'll be up for that
Sorry Bonz but I only normally travel to away games if they have pukka pies as I cant stand watching us get beat without a good feed and some of pies we get are pretty crap, like Hollands for example ::) but you seem such a friendly lot I might just make the trip, I drink babychams myself :D
-
Ha ha good one mate - I'll tell Wilf our club steward to get stocked up for yer!! Can you still get Babycham??
Dont know if Eric's fish shop down the road does pukka pies but his fish and chips are excellent and no I'm not related or owt.
As I said before I'm normally out quite early for a slurp and if you want a bit of a tour of the town's hostelries before going to the clubhouse I'm your man. Although tending to use Old Shildon Club( about 100 yards from the ground) quite a bit now 'cos they're doing guest ales. Keeping a cracking pint an'all

I knew as soon as I left Newcastle for the year this would happen! Absolutey GUTTED to be missing this. Looks like a tremendous little ground.
It is a tough draw, regardless of how many leagues are between us. I´m sure every Alty fan can feel it in their bones that it will be no formality. Moreover it seems as though they could easily hold their own in the Evo-stick and that is no piss-poor league. Most teams coming up from evo stick and equivalent can clearly hold their own in the conf north (except for eastwood obviously who had specific financial problems).
However, I think we should be grateful to have avoided the nighmare draws (Chester, FC Halifax etc), concentrate on our game and go up there ready for a 90 minute battle! COME ON ALTY!
PS. Chris/Dec/Daisy/Toppers/Mike etc: speak to Conor and see if you can boost the away following with some Newcastle Uni recruitment. I´m sure a night out and hospitality in West Jesmond will be on offer!

Just a reply about Wilf's post. He's the (brilliant) steward of Shildon AFC and obviously I wouldn't keep Alty fans away from our clubhouse for longer then necessary but I don't think he open's up till 1 o'clock. I was just saying that if any of you lot are up earlier I'd be happy to meet up and have an early drink or 7!!

Any chance the managers going to come on here next?

Another potential banana skin ::)
Sorry about this, but just to pick up on something that was mentioned in the Times last week. Why do people talk of potential banana skins? Isn't it rather a banana skin in itself, with it's inherent capacity to slip peopel up?

Shildon 3-2 liversidge

I think what is meant is that it only becomes a banana skin after the upset (if there is one) takes place. Therefore before the event in which there is potential for upset it is only a potential banana skin.*
*Sorry to take pedantry to new heights!

Alty four nil winners, with wilf & bonz seeking santury in their clubhouse ;)

There isn't room for another pedant on this forum. The banana skin is an inanimate object, and presents no danger to anybody - unless it is stepped upon. The danger is of an accident resulting from incautious approach to said yellow menace. So not a potential banana skin, more a potential banana skin induced lapse. I note that Shildon wear navy with red and yellow flashes on the shoulder. I don't like the sound of banana coloured flashes.
Been a long day. Matron says I must turn the light off and go to sleep. I would if she'd get out of my bed and give me some space....

does anyone actually know anyone who as actually slipped ona banana skin ever , i suspect they are a bit like swans that break arms. and vics fans that go to away games.

In other words it is a banana skin and we just have to avoid treading on it.....I have burned my hands handling a hot potato in the past...

There was someone who was on Danny Baker's R5Live radio show a couple of weeks ago who claimed to have done so.

They won the FA Vase last season - decent side

Evening everyone
First of all I would like to welcome any travelling fans to Dean St and to Shildon itself. Anyone arriving early and wanting something to do other than drink, there is a big event on to mark 1oo years of our local park.This is in Hackworth Park itself and is just a few mins walk from the ground.We also have a cracking railway museum {20 mins walk, 5 min drive]Those who want to have a beer, there are plenty of hostelries, all within a few hundred metres of the ground. But watch out for Gone Fishing's marauding jawdeez.Thats right there is none as this is mainly a Sunderland town that has a supporters club with over 300 members, and they don't. This is evident if you pop into the local workingmens club{100 metres from ground].Although you may see a smattering of them wandering around like the set of The Walking Dead.So red and white stripes are very welcome.Hope you all enjoy your trip, but not too much and it is a good game with a decent crowd,though i suspect the event in the park may affect this.
Regards
S.M.

not my thing but I bet my local railway museum is bigger than yours!
-
Not sure which is the bigger York Alty 'cos not my thing either so I've never been to the York one. However Shildon's is the National Railway Village which might suggest it's bigger than an ordinary museum ;D
The first passenger train in the world though went from Shildon to Stockton NOT Darlington to Stockton
Happy to oblige with the history lesson :D :D

Another surprising fact about Shildon. York can't boast that I'm afraid so looks like it's Shildon 1 York 0!
