FA Cup 19/20

[hellogregory]

Dulwich Hamlet away is the type of tie I wanted and one we should win.

However...

This season, with this clown as our manager, I wouldn’t back us to beat a Sunday morning kids team. I fully expect Dulwich Hamlet to be safely through to the second round and for Pressley to bring more shame on us.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Shrewsbury away. Shite.
But like the Crewe fans, it’s a good test to see how we’re coming along but not many will be interested in going. Shame it’s not at home or I’d have made the effort.
Can see us winning if we play our starting 11.

 

[The Terminator]

Maldon and Tiptree at home, they're 4 leagues below us and have won every game this season and they're a Colchester feeder club..............

If we lose this, our players will not be allowed home................

 

[GTFCfish]

Bet you we end up playing at some non-league style ground like Grimsby

At least we have four stands.

 

[GTFCfish]

BBC and Sky currently in a HUGE bidding war for who gets rights to show Grimsby v Newport.

Sky currently ahead with their bid of £25 having completely blown the BBC’s bid of £15 out of the water.

 

[LeonTheGreen]

Bolton away. Winnable. Decent ground.

Could have been so much better though...

7 nights in a Cleethorpes static, bookended by the kings of total EFL2 football battling it out for league and cup glory, what’s not to like.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

Chippenham away. Upset potential of the round, BBC need to get on this one.
Or will it be Salford again?

 

[E10rifle]

Great draw for fans of plentiful non-league clubs progressing! 9 all non-league ties

Oxford City vs. Solihull
York vs. Altrincham
Maidstone vs. Torquay
Haringey/Yeovil vs. Hartlepool
Stourbridge vs. Welling/Eastleigh
Forest Green vs. Sutton/Billericay
Ebbsfleet/Woking vs. Notts County
Nantwich vs. Flyde
Carshalton vs. Boston

Plus Chichester and Dover given the byes. Super stuff.

 

[Chris FGR]

You forgot FA Trophy finalists Leyton Orient vs. Maldon and Tiptree.

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Bolton away. New ground and the mrs is away that weekend! Chance of winning too.

Would have preferred non league at home or away but can't have it all.

 

[AdamStag]

Was slightly disappointed Nantwich didn’t get a league side at home, but they were at home unlike the previous 2 times.

As for mansfield I’d expect our game against chorley will be on that sunday programme if they do it again.

 

[Agombar stool]

Swindon at home - I'll take the result from the last time we played them in the cup.

In all seriousness - I hope the club use their noggin and reduce prices for this match. Last time they kept prices at full standard and it impacted the attendance massively.

Jesus wept what a draw! Our bogey side and ground. Can't remember the last time we got to round 3, but it ain't going to be this season!

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Any Bury fans still browsing.... could we expect a big turn out from you in our end at Bolton?

Would be brilliant.

 

[shoddycollins]

Fingers crossed we can hold Dulwich to a draw and earn a money-spinning replay at Brunton Park.

I imagine we'll just miss out on being one of the TV picks, and play on the Sunday as one of the highlight show matches. They'll probably televise a couple of games where both teams will bring in viewers such as Ipswich v Lincoln and just a couple of games featuring non-league teams hosting league teams, but I think Harrogate v Pompey and Hayes and Yeading/Poole vs Oxford United are bigger draws, with Southend, Fleetwood, Rovrum and Rochdale also all League One clubs away at non-league clubs.

Dulwich are fairly trendy though, and London-based so we won't be far from consideration. Get a replay, and I'm sure we'll be on the telly-box.

 

[AdamStag]

Are dulwich that ones that nearly got evicted not long back? Pretty sure they are.

If so that’ll add to the story

 

[T.A]

Any Bury fans still browsing.... could we expect a big turn out from you in our end at Bolton?

Would be brilliant.

A few have mentioned it online, i wouldnt expect too many though.

 

[les.gtfc]

Be interesting to see what happens to the Haringey v Yeovil tie. Hopefully Yeovil don't get kicked out would be a dangerous precedent. Should be a replay imo.

It's being replayed.

When do they normally confirm the dates and TV matches?

 

[Posh Harry]

When do they normally confirm the dates and TV matches?

After they have spoken to Salford and asked them when they want to play

Thank you...

 

[Fedora Dale]

It's worse for us!

Cambridge were #8 in the draw - inherited from Bury after their implosion. Who says the draw isn't fixed...

 

[hellogregory]

We’re on BBC.

I hope to fuck we’ve sacked Pressley by then, otherwise it’s going to be national embarrassment.

I still have nightmares of losing to Canvey Island on BBC sunday lunchtime in like 2002.

 

[hellogregory]

Well since I’ve been following Carlisle I don’t think we’ve lost this kind of cup tie. From my memory the biggest scare was when borhamwood ran us close in 2013.

But this team under this manager is a recipe for an absolute pasting off part timers. There’s absolutely no fight in this team whatsoever. I can’t think of a CUFC team less equipped to deal with this type of tie. Unless a new manager is in we will lose, 100%.

 

[E10rifle]

Full draw for League Two sides now the replays are out of the way:

Crawley vs. Scunthorpe
Colchester vs. Coventry
Dulwich Hamlet vs. Carlisle
Bolton vs. Plymbury
Orient vs. Maldon & Tiptree
Chippenham Town vs. Northampton
Cambridge vs. Exeter
Salford vs. Burton
Forest Green vs. Billericay
Walsall vs. Darlington
Shrewsbury vs. Bradford City
Grimsby vs. Newport
Gateshead vs. Oldham
Mansfield vs. Chorley
Cheltenham vs. Swindon
Accrington vs. Crewe
Macclesfield vs. Kingstonian
Blackpool vs. Morecambe
Franchise vs. Port Vale
Stevenage vs. Peterborough

Guaranteed to be at least four League Two sides in the hat for round 2. Good luck to everyone, especially Port Vale.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Guess you did not go to Ilkeston away HG, that was a shocker.
although not seen this Carlisle side listening to games they seem as rudderless as that side in 2000 so looks every bit a shock

 

[shoddycollins]

Can't remember the last time we won, or even avoided embarrasment when on the telly-box. I guess it would be the JPT final we won but excluding that then we never even manage to give an account of ourselves and after about half an hour the commentators have started to forget we're there.
