The FA Cup 23/24

[GTFCfish]

I wouldn’t be surprised to see ours on some channel or other as the tv companies will smell an upset, especially if it’s Ebbsfleet.

 

[Optipez]

We've not taken any cup at all seriously since Luke Williams took charge but I'm hoping we do with this if only to make some money for new players.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Scarborough's a nice day out but you'd hope Oxford City get through as it's obviously the much easier trip.

 

[Stocky]

So pleased for Worksop. It'll be a great experience for them to come to Edgeley Park. It'll be selfies galore in front of the Cheadle End I'm sure but I'm sure when the game starts they'll be giving it their all. We will treat them with respect.

 

[Conker]

Worksop massive will be out in force.

 

[saddler78]

pleased with that know bugger all about either team though.

 

[AdamStag]

Worksop massive will be out in force.

they’ll be a few stockport fans in for a surprise when that lot turn up, they’ll be fun and games to be had for sure

 

[chief]

Nice, weekend off and money saved ahead of Christmas.

 

[joethegill]

Some OK ties for the Kent teams left in. Hereford away for us is an obvious banana skin but is a proper cut tie, Maidstone will fancy beating either Braintree or Chesham, Sheppey having a potential game against EFL opposition in Walsall is massive for them.

Ramsgate getting a home tie is good, neither Hemel or Woking will find that trip easy, and Ebbsfleet will fancy their chances against Grimsby if they come through the Slough replay.

I'm hoping as we've got L2 opposition that he will be forced to take the FA cup far more seriously than the others where he basically doesn't give a shit and rightly so.

 

[LS Bantam]

Difficult and unappealing league side like it is every single year.

 

[plops]

After careful consideration I’d expect the following games to be televised

Mansfield vs Wrexham
Peterborough vs Salford

 

[Casey]

Away at Notts County. Dull for both sides but both will think they can win. Home tie means the pies are favourites.

All three Sussex clubs are away. Horsham get a chance to shine in Barnsley and Worthing will give a good account of themselves at Alfreton

[Gunit]

Home against another struggling team. At least there is a chance of progression whilst recognising it’s possible for us to lose to absolutely anyone right now. Away against any league side was a write off.

That's how it should be viewed, not exciting for either, shouldn't be easy for either. Only blessing for us is we are at home.

 

[Son of Cod]

Food for thought for those whingers, we got to the Quarter Finals last season on shit draws.

Luke Williams will be desperate to go out, he'll field fans if he has to. Lump on the Crawley win.

 

[Ainsty]

Away at Marine. This has embarrassing defeat written all over it.

Yep gonna be hard for Marine to be seen out in public when they lose to Harrogate.

Great unique little ground they've got though. Your fans should make the most of it and travel in numbers.

Three figures?

Three figures?

That would be nice but unlikely.

I bet you couldn't show your face on Freeman Street for weeks following last year's Boxing Day match.

I’ve always enjoyed marine as got a mate who follows nantwich, bizarre but unique, also went to a party at the function room they’d built on the back of the money from playing spurs.

 

[Conker]

I wonder if we have a chance to get on telly with it being Wrexham, make it a nice earner then.

Can’t imagine so unless it’s on that nonsense welsh one, not sure how that works if so.

 

[Chris FGR]

The way we usually play in the FA Cup, I would make Oxford City favourites if they get through. Scarborough we’d have a better chance against.

If only a Boxing Day defeat to Harrogate was the lowest we've sunk!

 

[EnglishRed]

I think they pay about a tenner.

Wouldn't at all be surprised if we are moved for S4C. They'd snap up a chance to make a few quid from selling the rights to ESPN in America. They did that for the Blyth games in the FACQ and Coventry away in the 3rd round, whilst ITV had the rights for the home tie against Oldham.
