FA Cup Round 1

[cufc17]

Eurghhhhhh Plymouth away

Shit draw.

 

[LordJord]

Coventry away in the wehatecardoza derby. Delighted with that.

 

[hellogregory]

Fucking Plymouth away. I hope that wanker Stuart McCall gets the shits tonight.

 

[oakroader]

nah, that's tuna salad!!

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

Reasonably happy with Blackpool at home. Winnable game and we have good memories of our last meeting at home with them, winning it 7-0.

 

[Brox]

Gillingham at home - shite draw for us, nothing interesting about the tie and we're going out. Only positive is we're at home, so a shorter drive home after the game.

 

[Alan Partridge]

What a joke.

Can we not just flip a coin?

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

At least Warrington aren't in the draw.

Almost identical to last year.

Us & Notts for TV?

 

[Murphy]

What a draw.

Morecambe at home one week before we play Morecambe away in the league.

 

[hellogregory]

I don't think we should bother turning up. Just forfeit it, have the weekend off and concentrate on the league.

Plymouth will slaughter us, and it's the other side of the world.

 

[cufc17]

Should just forfeit Plymouth, save the trek down for fans and players, we're going out either way.

It's somehow worse than Peterborough away last year, that shouldn't be possible.

 

[Don Tonberry]

Mighty Macclesfield at home for us. They may fancy their chances given how poor we've been at Fratton Park this season!

 

[jacobncfc]

Absolutely buzzing with Salford away.

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

Just nick a replay and make them come to yours on a Tuesday night

 

[EricSabin]

Coventry away in the wehatecardoza derby. Delighted with that.

Echoed. All aboard the booze bus.

 

[Calstag]

Just nick a replay and make them come to yours on a Tuesday night

now that would be funny !

 

[AdamStag]

Notts county get Salford and Chesterfield get fc United! I live in Manchester so either would have been ideal. We got a greater Manchester side at home, meh!

Still, county will go out on national tv and fc United don't change for tv as its not their policy. Oops.

 

[jacobncfc]

Nice to know you're ever the optimist, Adam!

Fc United played Rochdale on TV a couple of years ago on a Friday night.

 

[AdamStag]

Fc United played Rochdale on TV a couple of years ago on a Friday night.

Aye, it's changed slightly as Rochdale were at home to fc United. You can only refuse if your at home for logistical reasons. At least that's what we were told by the fa last season

 

[AdamStag]

Nice to know you're ever the optimist, Adam!

I was raised in Mansfield pal

 

[Laker]

Basingstoke at home is about as kind as you can get. They're bottom of the Conference South having picked up just 6 points from 13 games. We couldn't ask for a more winnable game if we tried.

 

[r1ch1e]

At England-NZ (Rugby League) on the 7th so hoping for a really uninspiring match that I don't care about missing

Home to Morecambe fits the bill

 

[jacobncfc]

Apparently they can't in the FA Cup, one of the conditions of entry.

 

[Wombling Kiwi]

Wombles at home to Forest Green, the way Forest are going, this could be a league fixture next season.

 

[shoddycollins]

Just watched the draw now after recording it while I was out. Always more nervous watching FA cup draws than I can be during a match.

First reaction... bugger. Shall we just offer Plymouth to forfeit it and save us the trouble of travelling.

If Plymouth weren't running away with promotion and we stood to benefit from them stumbling in the league a little that wouldn't be such a bad idea.

 

[MrGloverLover]

Hmm, Maidstone away. Ripe for a giantkilling, we've lost all our last 5 games against them (although the last was in 1989).

 

[Vanni]

Basingstoke looks like an easy draw, and we should see them off, but I'm always wary of the smaller sides as they always raise their game when playing a league side. There's also the little fact that we never do things the easy way.

 

[GasAttacK]

Chesham at home. On paper at least we couldn't have asked for a much better draw but with our home record you never know.

Will be great to see one of my favourite Rovers players of all time Mr Barry Hayles back at the Mem. So long as he doesn't score the winner of course.
