FA Trophy 2016/17

[Harrier94]

I thought it was meant to be 12.00?

Last couple of rounds there wasn't a massive delay like this. On the plus side twitter has become amusing.

We've got to win our replay to get an away tie at Kiddy. That's a good draw if we can get through. You either want something winnable or a big tie to either go out on without shame, or get a huge result

Possibility of facing the new club of our old rivals from the 90's and 00's. I'm happy hope you beat Lincoln United.

You and me both!

For me it would be the first time we play a team that we have serious history with (as the old club) in a serious competitive fixture.

For you lot it's also an interesting draw as it's one of two sides from a division 2 levels lower, but both had decent FA Cup runs.

Don't get too excited about the prospect of it being us either, as we have a lot of players missing for the replay, including our main striker (suspended), a midfielder who plays pretty much every minute (suspended), our best midfielder (injured long term), and 3 defenders who would normally make up our first choice back 4, with the other one struggling a bit right now.

 

[B2TF]

As holders, we have a bye to the next round.

 

[Chris FGR]

We haven't bothered with the Trophy in recent years but hope we do this time, would be nice to win a treble in our last ever season in non league.

If we're interested we should win it quite comfortably really, as all the other decent teams in it wont bother as they'll be scrapping for league points, whereas at that point we'll probably be able to start rotating the squad for league games.

 

[B2TF]

See you next season, Treacle.

 

[Harrier94]

Unlucky Jemfy maybe next year.

 

[Luke Imp]

Fair play to St. Neots, who managed to get 3 players sent off tonight including two in a minute in ET!

 

[DarkSithLord]

Just sen that prices for our FA Trophy tie at Gainsborough on Saturday are

Adults £12
Concessions £8
Kids (Under 16) £4

That strikes me as rather steep for a Trophy Qualifying tie!

 

[appletablepenny]

Ours prices are reduced, for adults anyway. I'm going on Saturday, I can't help but like the trophy, as I can remember when it meant something.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

We play Worcester at home on our road to Wembley, then play them on Monday in league.

Hoping to get through, we are in good form at present

 

[Aberstone]

Given how much of a shambles we are on the field right now, having the toughest tie possible is a welcome break.... oh wait, hang on.

I'll be at Maidenhead though to see if this side has any backbone.

Also Halifax underestimate Matlock at your peril tomorrow. They have a very good side.

 

[Forza Imps]

Is the first round regionalised or have I made that up?

 

[appletablepenny]

Dunno DSL, we turned over Matlock

 

[DarkSithLord]

True but wasnt the win very fortunate?

Now I dont think so. We played Weymouth a few years ago!

Maybe not fortunate, but they did have chances which they failed to take (missed pen, played against 10 men for a while).

They weren't terrible, but they still managed to lose, unlike 18 other teams we've faced this season.

You say that because you watch Alfreton every week.

 

[AndyPark]

Hopefully we can get a decent run this week.

 

[appletablepenny]

Alty v Blyth is off

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

congrats of an unbeaten weekend for you.

 

[Harrier94]

We play a team who haven't won a league game away from home this season. Incoming 3-0 loss for us.

 

[Harrier94]

Curzon v Worcester game just called off. Bit late really.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Very late, am abit p*ssed off as not even a mention of an inspection then off when I'm there and an hour trek back....very poor

 

[appletablepenny]

Tameside's a cold place Dave. When I used to commute from Stockport to Hyde or Ashton, it always felt a few degrees colder there.

 

[Luke Imp]

Boston's game was called off at HT due to fog, losing 1-0 at Witton.

 

[DarkSithLord]

FC United v Nuneaton also off.

Our game is fucking dire. Neither keeper has made a save. Its very foggy and getting worse by the minute judging by twitter could be called off

 

[DarkSithLord]

Full time 0-0. Neither team deserved anything. Rubbish game.

Replay on Wednesday at the Impact

 

[Harrier94]

3-1 win quite comfortable in the end. A mix of first teamers and fringe players. Onto round 1.
