2017/18 FA Trophy

[Silver Stone]

Torquay away. Regionalised my arse.

 

[The Terminator]

We will lose this the way we are going, not even sure if Haringey are even capable of putting the game on themselves. The ground holds 2,500 so the police may have the final say!

 

[RLC]

Solihull away, winnable but dull. I was hoping for Marine.

We have not had many interesting cup draws since we have been down here.

Could have been worse - we got Gateshead away ffs

 

[E10rifle]

The last time we played at White Hart Lane was in the League Cup. We got dicked 4-0 having beaten Spurs 2-0 in the first leg. I’m sure this will be exactly the same.

Hate to remind you, but you're non league now, where segregation is the exception and we all stand together. Besides, it's a plastic pitch. What could possibly go wrong? Would love to go to this as a neutral.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Truro at home. We've not beaten them at home in 3 attempts, 4th time a charm?

Clubs aren't allowed to switch ties except in exceptional circumstances any more. In the trophy, matches only really ever get switched due to unplayable pitches rather than crowd issues.

I can't see this game being segregated - I don't think we have the infrastructure for segregation and there's not much call for it. Orient don't really have much of a reputation for trouble, and even if they did, there's not really anyone for them to have a pop at. Even if it was segregated, it would be very hard to prevent orient fans from coming in the home end unless we restricted ticket sales to season ticket holders.

If we can't host a non-segregated game with 2,500 fans either we'll rig up some rudimentary segregation, or restrict tickets sales.

You're closer than us

Cheers Ian, will be interesting to see how it all pans out. Would prefer the game to be played at your place, it will be a unique occasion!

I'll have to get there early to make sure I get a programme and good standing spot

 

[GTFCfish]

No it's just the name-dropping. I met both Neil Young and Jonathon Legard on Saturday but you don't hear me crowing about it.

Who?

[Darlo On Tour]

Delighted with a home tie against Marine, that has to be winnable.

Should annihilate them on ur current form without a doubt, but saying that they knocked us out last season we underestimated them and paid the penalty.

 

[DarkSithLord]

First win for Stockport at Southport`s Haig Avenue since 1956 tonight in the trophy.

Whereas it doesnt appear Kingstonian bothered to turn up at Heybridge going down 5-1?

 

[Aberstone]

Chelmsford City 1-2 Wealdstone (Att: 367)

Like Saturday, I really enjoyed that. Despite Chelmsford having a man sent off midway through the 2nd half, we rarely threatened but scored from 2 of our 4 shots on target. The home crowd weren't happy with the referee for Craig Braham-Barrett's 2 yellows but it was poetic justice for his shirt pulling and playacting in the tie on Saturday.

Home to Wingate now, exactly the same tie as last year. Progression without a replay this time please.

Heybridge are mint for their level. Being too good is actually going to cost them promotion this year, as they keep drawing cup games against higher-level opposition and then winning the replays. They’re already between 7 and 11 games behind the other teams in their division and that’ll only get worse the longer they remain in the Trophy.

They've played only 9 league games this season. But they've knocked both Carshalton and Kingstonian out of the FA Trophy which as a Sutton fan is hilarious

 

[Harrier94]

We've got York, this happened last time we played them in the Trophy

That's because there aren't any.

Our match at Hereford changed to the Sunday as their FA Cup replay is moved to Thursday. Many angry daggers who booked up the train already, poor from us should have enforced the Saturday game.

Sickner, Peterborough fans have also been stitched up due to BT Sport as their game away at Fleetwood was also moved, the cup game may not even go ahead due to the weather as well......

 

[The Terminator]

Our ticket sales for our game at Haringey on Saturday have been quite poor, only 400 sold. The game may end up being pay on the day afterall.

Not alot of enthusiasum coming from our fans about this, which is understandable as we've been crap all season.

Pretty much the same feeling coming from our lot, it's like an even more pointless version of the piss pot/windows/checka whatever cup.

I hope we get dumped out.

 

[doveranddover]

no-one is really bothered anymore until the quarters/semis then interest will pick up a bit

 

[getoutofit]

Solihull away, winnable but dull. I was hoping for Marine.

We have not had many interesting cup draws since we have been down here.

We got south park last season which added a bit of interest due to the novelty factor, but when you draw a team from the same division in the first round of a competition that's not remotely inspiring even in the latter stages, it's just...nah.

I understand the reason for its existence but ideally it would just fuck off and leave us alone. A bit like a wasp. Or james corden. Actually no, there's no reason for him to exist at all.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Very dissappointed if we do not ply 3-4 of our youth players. We have a welsh international goalkeeper who hasn’t played for us yet this season which is a farce.

Imagine Solihull will go attack without substance as they do every time we play them, very naive side. Not fussed on the result besides no injuries please!

 

[Boz]

I think it would be better if the round when the NL sides come in was seeded as well as regionalised, a game against Lancaster or Marine would have attracted more interest than a trip to Solihull.

Would agree Luke Pilling deserves a game, though with Scott Davies only a booking away from a suspension, it’s only a matter of time. Mellon suggests he’ll play a strong side, but that carries with it the risk of players being unavailable for the trip to Sutton, which follows.

 

[Gatekeeper]

The manager and the majority of the fans at Sutton would like a good run in the Trophy.
We will play a strong team on Saturday.
