Re: fa cup

Re: fa cup
 

I'll take anyone, just as long as we get to play the game :)

Re: fa cup
 

1oclock uk time sunday itv

Re: fa cup
 

Well that one is now off the agenda after todays results :)

I reckon you will get Southampton or Charlton :)

Re: fa cup
 

so like fat gaz said then its bury home or away .

Re: fa cup
 

Home to Fleetwood, who should bring lots of fans but (please:eek:) not stop us getting the winner's prize money.

But for purely selfish reasons (see location), Southampton or Eastleigh away:)

Re: fa cup
 

chester or bath city
away

Re: fa cup
 

Inland Revenue XI away is my guess.:D

Re: fa cup
 

LEEDS UNITED ...AWAY !!...

1)...We'll get a draw and bring them back to The Crown', where we'll hammer 'em!..and get the money.

2.) We'll get good TV Coverage !!.

3.) It'll put the Icing on the Cake following the announcement that the Stanley have survived the 'Taxman's wrath'.....Hopefully ??.

'ON STANLEY!!..ON !..TO THE SECOND ROUND !!'

Re: fa cup
 

What about an away trip to Paulton Rovers? And before anyone asks, I don't know where it is either.

Re: fa cup
 

Leeds at home.

Re: fa cup
 

Me neither, but I did e-mail them regarding our plight many months ago.



no reply :eek:

Re: fa cup
 

In Somerset !!.....Not far from Bath ...I THINK !!

Re: fa cup
 

Luton away

Re: fa cup
 

port vale at home

Re: fa cup
 

Huddersfield im guessing on

Re: fa cup
 

It's at home v Farnborough or Salisbury City

Re: fa cup
 

Accrington v Farnborough or Salisbury

Re: fa cup
 

Happy with that.

Hopefully a nice £18,000 IF we win :)

Re: fa cup
 

Salisbury are 17th in the Blue Square, having won 4 and lost 5 of their away league matches this season. Probably, with home advantage, they are favourites to win the replay but Farnborough are top of the Zamaretto Premier Division (is that the Southern League in disguise?), unbeaten with 27 points from 11 matches.

Re: fa cup
 

if ??????????

Re: fa cup
 

" Exactly "........................:eek:

Re: fa cup
 

Is there a prize for being close :D

Re: fa cup
 

It'll seem strange playing a cup game as 'the giants'.

Re: fa cup
 

Beware of the giant killers!

Re: fa cup
 

agree, all things being sorted though hopefully, a great chance fer progression.:)

Re: fa cup
 

replay then 2nd round more money

Re: fa cup
 

One of my first games at the crown was against Farnborough i think... they seem to have dropped down the divisions.
Interesting tie for morecambe...

Re: fa cup
 

I hope we get long enough to enjoy being a "giant".

Re: fa cup
 

As the opponents are still effectively unknown can I chuck my hat in the ring and plump for Farnborough at home :rolleyes::D:D

Re: fa cup
 

farnborough home my get tv lower club agaist the flying reds

Re: fa cup
 

probably too late now but if we get to the 2nd round and get another similar draw we should immediately move it to the friday night. Better crowds, better atmosphere, and an increased chance of telly!

Re: fa cup
 

I'll definetely second that!

Re: fa cup
 

Won't make one bit of difference to the telly, you are either chosen or not and they tell you which day you play it :rolleyes:

Re: fa cup
 

Games chosen for TV

Saturday 7th November, 12.45pm Paulton v Norwich

Sunday 8th November, 1.30pm Northwich followed by the Second Round Draw live with Jim Rosenthal at 3.35pm.

Re: fa cup
 

the tv money will be a huge boost to Northwich as will the bumper crowd.

I would prefere to get Salisbury over Farnborough.

Re: fa cup
 

You've got them - or they've got a bye :eek:

Re: fa cup
 

do we now how many will come up for the game . plus can we fill the accy ends . to say a big thank you to all that have payed the bills

Re: fa cup
 

salisbury forum suggests about two coach loads...... so i would think a couple of hundred at most

Re: fa cup
 

and about 700 Stanley fans?

Re: fa cup
 

unless there is a bit of clever marketing:D

Re: fa cup
 

Not more staff appointments :D

Re: fa cup
 

hello salisbury fan here, at the moment we have 4 coaches coming up to you guys and there maybe a 5th also coming up, we also have a couple of mini buses coming up and there a few driving and going up on the train, we are hoping to bring 300-500 up to your place and we look forward to seeing the famous accrington stanley football club :)

Re: fa cup
 

Don't get you hopes up :D:D:D

Watch you don't get stuck in the mud infront off the Away Turnstile :p:p

Re: fa cup

do u know what the prices will be for us away fans?
kids?
adults?
thanks scfc

Re: fa cup
 

£308,000 for adults & your kid gets in free......

Re: fa cup
 

Probably £10 and £5

Re: fa cup
 

nice on Willie!

Re: fa cup
 

Now they know there are possibly 500 away fans I would think normal league prices will apply ;)

Hard to believe 6 days before a game there has been no price set :confused:

Re: fa cup
 

Might even be Adults £10, Concessions £5 and Under 16's FREE like the JPT

Re: fa cup
 

ASFC The Club That Never Sleeps (that's if your a fan):rolleyes:

Re: fa cup
 

Is this a subtle hint ? Are you working on a match poster as we speak.

At least we know 100% it won't be less than a tenner admission for adults :D

Re: fa cup
 

I don't do posters at such short notice :rolleyes:

Re: fa cup
 

Unless it's raining! :D

Re: fa cup
 

I would have thought that it would be the usual League prices for the F.A.Cup.

prices

P.S. Am I glad I do not have a season ticket for you lot :eek:

Salisbury City Football Club

:) :) :)

Re: fa cup
 

whats wrong with the seasonb ticket prices? ;)

Re: fa cup
 

400-500 away fans will probably mean attendance will be about 2000 i think/hope

Re: fa cup
 

That is assuming that we still have a club and even with 500, I wouldn't expect the crowd to be above 1,800 unless there is a vocal backlash against the current board of directors.:mad:

Re: fa cup
 

Fishy sites been updated today, but "Not" with prices fer sats cup-tie. i was told today the F.A. must be notified of prices 7 days after draw is made.:confused: is this correct or not?:confused:

Re: fa cup
 

so it league £ then to get in

Re: fa cup
 

ya will probably need the "Dirty Dozen" to get in the ground on Sat Grimps.:D

Re: fa cup
 

cashman .ive got the tunnel going so will be in ground for 3 pm .

Re: fa cup
 

We do still have a club? and a crowd of 1800 would still be decent, and i think there will be a vocal backlash against the board no matter what happens. End of the day the fans need to stick by the team, as the old saying goes, through thick and thin. There also 2 good reasons to as i see it: 1. The current side is probably the best the club as ever had and deserves support and 2. The fanbase cant afford to go down smaller than it already is, and despite people complaining about the board, the only way they can hear what they have got to say is by coming to the games :D

Re: fa cup
 

How very true, well said that man

Re: fa cup
 

feel sure the fans will stick by the team, they deserve no less, as fer Fred Karnos Circus, thats summat else.:D

Re: fa cup
 

Whats fred karnos circus? ha

Re: fa cup
 

Re: fa cup
 

been to ground to day . pitch looks ok at 1.00pm today . will be back at ground to day to help put seats in so i let you all now if pitch looks good for game. but im not a gounds man

Re: fa cup
 

more of a leg man meself :D

Re: fa cup
 

Anybody know how the pitch is holding up ahead of tomorrows game

Re: fa cup
 

was there today putting vip seat in and pitch looked ok and the grounds man working is hart out to get the game on . for me it looked ok but im no grounds man that was at 3.30 pm.

Re: fa cup
 

If the mud was below his knees there is possibly a chance of playing :D

I reckon it must be about 50/50. Depends how dry it stays in the morning and how late they leave the decision. Difficult one if they take in to account the distance the away fans have to travel.

Re: fa cup
 

Covers are on over Accy end 18 yard box, Buzzer said 50/50 will defo depend on weather overnight but forecast reasonable for tomorrow, keep everything crossed.

Re: fa cup
 

Get a portable genny and ask all the female fans to bring along their hair driers to do the job. They should be perfect for the job.

Hope it does go ahead though i cant be there I will find a way to listen to it. :D

Re: fa cup
 

anyone know if there having a minutes silence fer Alex tomorrow?

Re: fa cup
 

I must admit to part of me hoping (not too much though) that tomorrows game is called off........for purely selfish reasons, as I cant be there :( due to prior arrangements. Also how good would it be to have our first game as the New and improved ASFC against Bury whose fans have done so much to help our survival?..................I can make the Bury game lol :).

If it does go ahead tho, Im pretty sure Im gonna miss a cracking game/atmosphere.............hope y'all enjoy yourselves!!

Re: fa cup
 

if game gose head more chance bury game being off (uk) cutting up more rain monday / tues day sorry pal

Re: fa cup
 

Weather is not looking good at the moment,it may be called off. Must be an early inspection to save the Salisbury fans a wasted journey

Re: fa cup
 

So much for the dry morning :confused:. Peeing it down at the moment

Re: fa cup
 

I don't know what time it started, but it's been hammering it down since 4am. If the chances of it being on were only 50/50 yesterday, then I can't see much hope for the game today.

Re: fa cup
 

I wasn't up at that time bit I beleive ya :D. Our garden this morning was an open air swimming pool again :(

Re: fa cup
 

i was walking/crawling home at about 3am and it was puddling it down then - not good

Re: fa cup
 

You need to be hardcore to be up at that time Dave! :D

Re: fa cup
 

On fishy site now that there will be a minutes silence for Rememberance Day, also mentions Alex Hamilton & Phil Terry - there's a collection as well for the British Legion.

Re: fa cup
 

and no planned pitch inspections

Re: fa cup
 

FA Cup First Round
Saturday 7th Nov 2009

Pitch news
The pitch at the Crown Ground is bearing up well ahead of this afternoon's match against Salisbury City.

There has been some overnight rain in Accrington though the pitch drainage has coped well, there is no official pitch inspection planned at this stage and as long as there are no torrential downpours ahead of kick off the game will go ahead as planned at 3pm.





Remembrance
Saturday 7th Nov 2009

Minute silence and collection
Please note that there will be a minute silence ahead of this afternoon's game against Salisbury City, to mark the annual act of remembrance for those who have given their lives in the service of their country.

At this time the club also remembers those dear to the club who we have lost recently, particularly including former player Alex Hamilton who was with Accrington Stanley at the time of their demise in 1962 and sadly passed away this week. We also remember those who are no longer with us whom we still hold dear, with our long serving former secretary Phil Terry in our minds, who sadly passed away this time last year.

There will be a collection at this afternoon's game in aid of the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal and the club would ask all fans to support this very worthy cause.

Re: fa cup
 

Showers and sunshine this morning in Clayton at the moment.

Re: fa cup
 

Just been up pitch looks good a bit wet in in Accy end but Buzzer and co have been working on it all morning and seem to be winning, should be OK just need rain to keep off.
Let battle commence

Re: fa cup
 

just seen forecast on beeb- heavy showers later, hope its much later.:eek:

Re: fa cup
 

well round two i want bath city at home

Re: fa cup
 

Oxford or Barrow for me, Oxford to show them who we are. Barrow because they know who we are.
