arbitro Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 With the FA Cup first round draw being made on Monday at 7 pm I was wondering who everyone would like to play and why. Personally I would like to play a non league team away from home because I believe that is what the FA Cup is about and quite unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllRoverAsia Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I was only checking up on the FA Cup a few hours ago. Trying to work out how often we have been in the First Round proper. I would like Truro City away and selected for TV as a giant-killing possibility......yes I know........ Mainly as I love proper Cornish Pasties http://m.bbc.com/sport/football/41580484 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboy3333 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 You'll be pleased to know Truro got through. What a journey that would be! Chorley drew 0-0- at home to Boston and replay Tuesday. Fylde won 1-0. Wouldn't mind a trip there. Looks a nice ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reedy You're A Star Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Truro do the best Cornish pasties on earth though. So even if we lost, it'd totally be worth it for a freezer full of pasties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Kidderminster - 20 minutes from my front door But actually anyone away from home, I know Truro really well through work so thats an easy one, but still 3hrs+ from West Midlands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reedy You're A Star Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Hyde Utd closest to me. @#/?s knocked out Warrington too, so if we draw them then at least it's a bit of revenge for making me travel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove down a few times for family holidays from Heysham to the Perranporth area. Some trips were pre Oakhampton Bypass times..................can't get lost though just aim for Exeter and turn right. Once you get there it's Paradise with Pasties.

Drum roll please.....Venky’s need it on their cv. I went to the Willington game with EiT amongst others. Also remember when we played Altricham at Ewood because they brought around fifty coaches which was pretty impressive for a non league outfit.

It was replayed on an afternoon Jim and we won. From memory the reason for an afternoon game was that Altrincham didn't have any floodlights at that time. I recall three things from the game. We won 1-0, Neil Wilkinson was sent off and one of the Altrincham players worked for Blackburn Council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s embarassing It’ll be more embarrassing when To-Bray let’s the lads play a training ground game to decide who plays and then leaves them to it. Let’s hope they take this one a bit more... professionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s embarassing No more embarrassing than playing Willington or Matlock in the Cup and they proved very enjoyable afternoons. Although getting knocked out by Crewe in the 2nd Round was pretty depressing as was a 1st Round exit at the hands of the mighty Port Vale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
