One of my favourite grounds in non league by a distance. More than winnable.

Lovely memories of weekends away in Bath with the late, great Mrs. York Alty.

Winnable if heads are sorted properly.

Some good teams been drawn  against each other. Put aside yet another way draw, we can progress a long way in this.  Come on Alty.

It's a tricky tie, but there is a place in the quarter finals at stake so there are no easy games.

If we continue to show the same attitude we have done of late we can win it.

Could have been worse. All games are winnable with the correct attitude and a bit of luck. Come on you Robins.

I won't be around for this game but a tie we can win. Good luck lads.

Nice part of the country as well.

BATH CITY              v      ALTRINCHAM   15:00
BRAINTREE TOWN      v      EBBSFLEET UNITED   15:00
CHORLEY OR FC UNITED OF MANCHESTER      v      AFC FYLDE OR AFC TELFORD UNITED   15:00
DARTFORD              v      FC HALIFAX TOWN   15:00
FARNBOROUGH OR MAIDENHEAD UNITED      v      NORTH FERRIBY UNITED   15:00
HEMEL HEMPSTEAD TOWN      v      TORQUAY UNITED   15:00
OXFORD CITY OR WOKING      v      DOVER ATHLETIC   15:00
STOCKPORT COUNTY OR WREXHAM      v      GATESHEAD OR GRIMSBY TOWN   15:00

We've definitely got one of the easier draws on paper. Hopefully the Blyth debacle will provide a good marker on how not to approach a cup tie against lower opposition. I'm sure its still fresh in their minds.

EDIT: Just noticed that Bath beat Wealdstone in the last round. Could have been my opportunity to meet the Raider.

"Dave esdaile, the haircut man, we haven't seen anything like before down at Twerton". We need to sort someone to stare out the keeper and we will be fine. No easy games etc but if we have our full team available teams should fear us.

Just waiting on a coach price and will sort some details.

Christ we could have got FCUM/Chorley, Ebbsfleet, Woking, that is a lovely draw. A fine city and a great chance of getting through. Super day out for me as a London based fan. Planning the pub tour right now.

Bath Alty lived there for 10 years but doesn't know anyone at Alty since I left when I was 5.  If I'd changed my forum name then no-one would know me at all.  That and Lechlade Alty doesn't have the same ring to it.

Indeed. Doesn't seem to be there in its former state any more. Can only find a cellar bar that specialises in cocktails and magic. Don't think London Alty will be sampling that on Saturday night. The only magic we'll be seeing on Saturday is at Twerton Park etc...
