FA Trophy 2018/19

[AdamStag]

Over 600 sold for the match at Chesterfield on Sunday, we're obviously not gonna get anywhere near the amount we took to you on the opening day of last season but we should easily get into 4 figures, I'd have thought.

Didn't realise you were still in the FA trophy?

(though the thought of the trophy still makes me shudder)

Attendance at Truro v Greenwich Borough yesterday was 39 (THIRTY-NINE) What the hell has happened there?

And I bet Greenwich Borough took fewer than 11 fans to support them too!

I have no idea Benny Boy.... I'll check for you

 

[rudebwoyben]

What's with this preponderance of all-National League ties?

 

[JaredSUFC]

Bromley away. So we’ll be playing them 3 times in 18 days. Fantastically dull

 

[East Bank Shot]

Bedford at home.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Cool Leamington a side in the North draw close to 4 hours away, cool.

 

[Seventyseven]

Whoopeee... Borehamwood away.... wonder if we'll take more than 11....

 

[rudebwoyben]

It does look a fantastically uninteresting draw for everyone, including the smaller clubs still in the competition.

You might out number our fans then

 

[appletablepenny]

Ugh, County again.

 

[ForeverUnited]

Billericay at home. Well, that is us out.

 

[Master D]

So long as we lose, I'll be happy.

 

[E10rifle]

Where in the flying f*** is Beaconsfield?

 

[Joe.]

Dagenham at home. Dull as fuck.

Will be about 700 there and it'll be a draw.

 

[The Terminator]

Where in the flying f*** is Beaconsfield?

The ground is by a Service station off the M40

Gutted, so close to getting the mighty Brightlingsea Regent.

Hopefully we will deploy our reserves and whatever happens, happens.

I don't give a shit about this like last year, our league position is far too important.

 

[iron4ever]

Away to Salisbury for us. A potential banana skin the way we are playing. Could do with the 6k on offer as only one home game in December until the Xmas fixtures.

 

[Josh Butler]

Away to Wrexham
As difficult as we could have got. Nearly the longest trip of the ties left.... Not for me though in brum,happy with that as new ground and less than 2 hrs by train

Means we have awayers at Chorley, Wrexham and Spennymoor within a 3 week period! A bit over 1000 miles in there

Hopefully they have eyes on the league and we can sneak a result. We've been due a decent run in any cup since 1999

We'll be playing our under 6's. If you don't win it'll be embarrassing.

 

[Tin Roofs & Stone Steps]

Of all draws! Home v Sutton.
Only got them Boxing Day and New Year’s Day games as well.

El Plastico overdose. Bleurgh!

I had the misfortune to watch a game at their old ''stadium'' and Greenwich didn't get much more than that figure home fans wise.

Even for Kent League standards it was dreadful http://www.pyramidpassion.co.uk/html/greenwich_borough.html

 

[Tin Roofs & Stone Steps]

The ground is by a Service station off the M40

Drove past that ground a few times and looks like an absolute nightmare to get into.

I literally couldn’t think of a duller draw. No offence but playing any team 3 times in 18 days is dull. Still our teenage crew are excited by the prospect of standing by the segregation fence and singing about how much they hate Bromley whilst 90% of whatever low number we do take won’t care

No offence taken as I share your disappointment.
We’ve unfortunately got a similar teenage crew. So cringe!

 

[sadgull]

So Torquay away to Boreham Wood just before Xmas. Good job we won 5k on Saturday. As half that will go towards an overnight stop, no way you can do that quickly from here. Our travelling support from down here will be awful. Basingstoke away last Saturday, Dulwich away this Saturday, Dartford away Tuesday then welling for a rare home game, then boreham wood away and even got Hampton and Richmond away over Christmas.

Out in the sticks, the ground is in the middle of nowhere.

You can play whoever you want we'd still find a way to lose. This trophy run is big for us, it's one game further than we always seem to get

 

[B2TF]

Well, safe to say I won't be bothering with THAT.

 

[The Terminator]

Brightlingsea Regent now out as well. Screw you all and this competition now!!
