I refuse to even think about this at this stage - one great big potential banana skin to avoid first.
-
A potential banana skin? Do you mean a banana?
-
A potential banana skin? Do you mean a banana?
Yes, surely it's inherent in it's actual being.
Unless you mean it becomes only a skin. Can you slip on an actual banana? Probably.

Can't see why not.

Chip Shop 52 live on and were unlucky not to win today

13 or 35 at home please. Both won the competition in the last 30 years so a decent chance of being on tv earning the club a few quid and still a chance of an upset.

quick question...if we get a major club that attracts that TV camera's and we are at home, do we keep all the TV money or share it with the visiting club? Likewise I guess, if we are away we may/may not receive a share of TV revenues
Just curious

Its shared the home club get a bigger slice of the pot and all gates receipts are shared after expensives have been deducted.

York have only won once all season and tranmere haven't won in their last ten or so attempts, does "conference Calpol" apply in th cup!?

We did buck that trend slightly against Braintree, fortunately, so there is hope. :)
-
Do we want a big pay away day such as Sheff Utd/Coventry/Portsmouth or a home tie we SHOULD win?
Given our recent record in the Fa cup id be tempted to say a big tie round one but id love to progress further!

Personally I want a home tie against the weakest team left in the competition; I don't believe there are any guaranteed 'big pay away days' these days as people even at League 1/2 level get choosy about attending cup-ties; if we end up with a League club away I'd like it to be somewhere we haven't been before, which rules out Sheff Utd, and is a feasible day trip; but I fear that we'll get something like Woking or Barnet away. Hope I'm wrong about that ...
-
A home tie please against anyone, preferably a weaker team.
I don't want a lot but reaching the third round and getting Man United way has to happen otherwise I will be calling for Sinnout to depart.
-
There's more money to be made going as far as possible by knocking out weaker sides than having a day out at portsmouth etc i think we will draw Barnsley or East Thurrock United. But if we had a choice I'd hope for the lowest ranked side at home, and that goes for every round
-
Just a quick point for those who may look for train tickets etc this evening if we are drawn away as usual
"In a first for FA Cup coverage, the BBC will be giving extra prominence to the early rounds of the competition, placing lower league clubs in the spotlight. In the first and second rounds there will be eight matches moved to a new Sunday slot at 2pm, as part of an interactive Final Score, with goals and key moments shown to the BBC One audience as they happen."
-
Barnet or woking away would be as bad as it could get,wouldnt want them at home either,
-
Just please not Crawley or Fleetwood away.
-
We've played most of League 2 in the recent past as Ex Conference sides and of the L1 big boys-Sheffield, Cov, Bristol City-yeah they'd be alright days out but I'd hardly be jumping for Joy. Give me the worst possible side at home and balls to the rest.
-
Nightmare draw would be Barnet or Woking away
Dream draw would be tranmere or crewe at home
-
Didn't want that.
-
Lovely.
-
Bobbins drive that
-
Terrible draw that
-
Bloody Blyth away,dreadful draw
-
It's definitely winnable though, they're lower in their league than Barwell
-
Blyth Spartans .....Off to Geordie land again. Pity it wasn't Shildon.
-
Get through this then were only one game from the bigboys . Has LVG been to Alty yet
-
Take out the passionate Geordie factor and I think it's a decent draw if we had to be away as FA rules state.
As with Barwell, could have been a lot worse.
-
When only 4 balls were left Blyth were the middle option. FGR home or away would've been dire. Needless to say it was the club backed by a millionaire who got the league club at home.
But it's not bad, if you're not getting a plum tie then there were far worse ones than that I guess. A lower ranked side, have to be on our bloody mettle though, big style.
-
Could be better but when we were down to the last 4 balls and it was either FGR, Scunny or Blyth I know who I was praying for
-
8 consecutive away draws, whats the record?
-
Winnable
Not exactly sexy though is it!
-
Big fan of this! Always love a trip up to Newcastle.
Probable weekender, not the best tie but by no means the worst. Lower ranked so I'm happy.
-
Credit to the BBC for that little show, really built it up and I was actually nervous before it started!
Could see our ball at the front and it was quite enjoyable shouting " no, God no.." as balls came out.
-
Home game for Duncan Whatmore!!!
-
It just occurred to me that with the first round all being about the romance of the FA cup, the TV people might really fancy Blyth vs Alty probabaly the best combined FA cup pedigree on show, and why not ££££££££ ?

very much doubt it will be selected for TV, need a league team for TV

Would have been a great TV tie in about 1979....

I know what you mean....I was still shouting NO very loudly after we were drawn out. The wife had to leave the room (already annoyed with me that my fiftieth birthday celebration holiday over to the UK was dependent upon an FA Cup draw).
-
£18,000 prize money for the winners.
Bet the commentary team for Radio Robins are queueing up for this one !!!!!!😄😄
-
Did you spot we should have been Cambridge away, but Neville lost grip of our ball and picked another

Really? I thought he did it on purpose.
-
Not a terrible draw at all. Winnable, they're no unknown quantity and, as has been said, they are actually lower than Barwell.
Pretty pleased all in all.
There's no way it will be televised though.
-
Saw him drop one, we seem to be knocking about the front for a lifetime.
Think the Norton manager will have got Shildons backs up a bit by using his 20 seconds to say that they pay bigger wages!!
-
Think blyth are at fcum tomorow night,,good chance of reaching the second round for the first time in 13 years.

I've asked for a press pass, gives me a chance to check them out.

8 consecutive away draws, whats the record?
Is it?
1 last year, 3 before that, then Witton at home in 2011.

it's 7
-
Sure it'll be a mad Geordie bear pit but they are just above the relegation zone in the Evo Stik Premier. If we do our jobs properly this is a game we *should* win as we did at Barwell. I think we can be cautiously optimistic.

£18,000 prize money for the winners.

I will be hiring at least one minder.

Pukka Pieman is on the money....it's 8........Crewe Alexandra v Burton Albion/Altrincham was drawn before the 3-3 game at The Pirelli Stadium.
-
Could have been much worse.........shouting Nohhhhhhh at the telly once Eastleigh, Dagenham and Stevenage came out of the bag
When down to the last four it had to be Blyth
-
It looked nailed on we'd be pulled out with FGR when down to those final few balls. We've just got to be professional. It'll be a hostile atmosphere but Blyth should hopefully be sensible enough to segregate the fixture. We had a good 200 at barwell on Saturday and I can see more going to blyth with it being 1st round. We need to get up there in numbers and get behind them, we have been handed a decent tie all said and done and are just two good performances from a potential lottery win. All though the latter had external revenue. An fa cup tie against Manchester United has seen Burton Exeter and Crawley into the football league. We can win this game, and a bit of luck in round two and who knows. Anyway, on the shelf for now, time to think about getting maximum points from alfreton
-
How much dosh for the train up there are we talking?
-
Great draw. 1st round great, but 2nd round and just 90 mins away from 3rd round draw is a great feeling. A lesser non league team home or away gives us best shot at that, and also increases chances of a tv game - tv games always likely to be non league at home to league and with only a dozen or so non league teams likely to make round 2, who knows.
-
Being only six all non league ties including our own we'd have to be lucky to pull out a nonleague side in round two should we be fortunate enough to get there. Arguably the winners of Basingstoke/Harrow B. v Spennymoor T/AFC Telford Utd or Bromley v Dartford at home would be best unless anyone causes a shock. Failing that the winners of hartlepool v East Thurrock at home
-
Having been around for a fair while, F.A.Cup means one game @ a time. So far £12,500 Prize Money. Next another away tie v. my one wish, a lower placed team, Potential £18,000 Prize Money. That's as far as I go to the end of the match @ Blyth Spartans, THEN THE DREAMS BEGIN AGAIN. i am luckier than most I've seen all the 3rd Round ties & replays but there was no prize money then. ROLL ON ALFRETON TOWN.

How much dosh for the train up there are we talking?
Just had a quick look and the nearest station (Cramlington or something) is 4 miles away. It looked like there was going to be little change from £100 there and back, possibly more....

There's a fairly fast bus from Newcastle Haymarket bus station, a better option than train to Cramlington I'd have thought.

For those going by train, depending on how much of a day you want to make of it, you should base yourself around Whitley Bay I reckon. You certainly don't want to be spending much time around Blyth, and you might just get a pleasant day at the seaside!
There is a train from Victoria just before 9am, getting into Newcastle at 11:30ish. Jump on the Metro to Whitley Bay, and that should see you in the pub by lunchtime.
A cab ride from there to the ground would be roughly 15 mins or so along the coastal road I reckon. Get a cab back into Whitley Bay at FT.
Return train tickets currently around £45, with a few return trains to choose from (depending on how much sticking around and drinking you want to do)

Spot on sir.....marvellous place......we had a thoroughly salubrious stay there between the Macclesfield & Halifax games & planning something similar next week.

Tynemouth is a wonderful place, wet & wild then off to Gothenburg with Andy Kilner, hey Peter?
