FA Trophy 2016/17

[Back in the DHSS]

3-0 now , buxton looks class on hid debut

goal machine Ritchie Sutton with the third apparently.

 

[Pablosammy]

1-3 now, Chelmsford have pulled one back.

 

[Boz]

Sounds like all Chelmsford second half.

 

[DarkSithLord]

4-1 Tranmere (Kirby)

 

[Mark kavanagh]

Correction, goal machine Ritchie Sutton with the third apparently.

Buxton provided the cross mate, hes been awesome

 

[RLC]

Great effort by our second string tonight. I did not fancy our chances when I saw the line up, but that result shows the strength of the squad.

 

[Boz]

Comfortable win in the end for Rovers, though a sticky patch at the start of the second half.
Don't know why we bothered though. NO CHANCE in a Cup game against Barrow.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

We're gonna do the double over you.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

I'm hoping for a mass brawl and half a dozen season long suspensions each.

Instigated by Chris?

 

[rudebwoyben]

Tranmere and Lincoln could be playing each other TWICE at Wembley next May. Epic stuff.

If that happens why not combine the two into a mega 180 minute long match where the winner takes all!

 

[Luke Imp]

We're aiming for 4 Wembley appearances this season, just to make up for lost time having never played at Wembley.

 

[CrazyImp]

Play the fringe players against Boreham Wood. If we still progress, we go all out for it.

Great to see you posting again mate.

 

[Luke Imp]

Boreham won't budge from their £18 admission for this one, which is ridiculous.

If it goes to a replay, it's £5 across the board at SB but the replay is subject to any FA Cup replay and if there is a replay of any kind, that means York at home will be moved.

 

[wilsontown]

I'm hoping that it will get moved as there's no way I can make the scheduled fixture, but I might have a chance if it does get moved.

£5 across the board (if the game happens) is a great gesture by Lincoln. I hope they charge the away fans £18 though...

All 3 of them!

 

[LeWhites]

Can Tranmere please throw the match on 25th Feb otherwise the weekend in Liverpool I've booked is going to be pretty pointless.

 

[Luke Imp]

Tbh, I think we've dropped them that low just to show Boreham Wood up for their ridiculous prices!

 

[Davidimp]

TBH doubt it'll go to a replay but it's a nice gesture from the club and shows up Boreham Wood big time.

 

[pinknblue]

Think we may be in for a capacity crowd (3,000) against Macclesfield next Saturday. Nearly 2,000 at Dulwich for our Ryman League game today. I'm really looking forward to this one!

 

[GEORGE]

Sorry Tranmere fans but I think this tournament will be the death of your promotion back to the FL this season.

 

[getoutofit]

Sorry Tranmere fans but I think this tournament will be the death of your promotion back to the FL this season.

hey no need to apologise, it's not your fault.

however, didn't grimsby manage to reach the final of this tournament last season as well as get themselves promoted?

 

[DarkSithLord]

Have Boring Wood agreed to finish the tie on the day on Saturday?

 

[rudebwoyben]

Have Boring Wood agreed to finish the tie on the day on Saturday?

Surely they would as their players won't be able to take time off on Tuesday?

 

[Luke Imp]

Nope, they haven't. If it's a replay, our Tuesday game against York will be off.

If we get through the semi 1st leg is off because we play Arsenal and one of our re-arranged Tuesday games will have to be re-arranged again!

In our first championship season from the Conference in 90/91, one of our main rivals Altrincham ended up with the same sort of fixture congestion at the end of the season because of their FA Trophy run to the semi-finals (the Trophy was taken a lot more seriously in those days!) In the end they had to play fixtures on the Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and final Saturday of the season in the final week of the season from which they only gained 2 points. We didn't seem to have the same sort of fixture congestion even though we started off in the 1st qualifying round of the FA Cup and got through to the 3rd round.

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

I'm looking forward to the game (and visiting a new ground), but fearful of the outcome; hope the players are as prepared for a tough game as the fans as complacency would be the death of us. Great win last night but Saturday more important, and we'll have to do it without Jennings. Expect Whitaker, who has been "rested" last two games to come in for him.

 

[Dean]

Tranmere have announced that in the event of a draw on saturday we will go to a replay. Dissapointed by this, both us and Barrow are pushing to get out this league and could do without.

Can only assume we wanted to settle it on the day (like previous rounds) but Barrow wanted the chance to take us back to Holker street. Cant blame them having already beaten us in the FA cup there this season.

Annoyingly will mean the replay will be played Tuesday 28th when we're scheduled to play Forest Green in the league. We have already had to reschedule a number of league games this season due to cups.

We already have to travel up to Barrow in two weeks for a league game (Tuesday 7th March) two potential trips to Barrow in a fortnight, yippy!

Incidently if we get through it's worth noting two more league games get postponed;

Tranmere P-P Dover 11th March
Torquay P-P Tranmere 18th March
