F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Away to Notts County :(

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

And we're out

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Oh pish .....

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Could we have had a worse tie.... :(

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

No I don't think so

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Any away tie is useless at this stage unless we win and claim the much needed prize money.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Suppose at least it's a change from Carlisle or Tranmere

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

And Forest play Norwich the same day so it could get moved

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Not a happy trip last time I went there. Seem to remember Craney scoring but Karl Hawley doing us?

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Least it wasnt Carlisle or Tranmere, but as usual a pretty terrible draw :(

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Will just have win! It's The Cup, anything can and will happen to the under-dogs.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Looking at attendances I would expect around 2.5k so no cup windfall.

The Rugby Union team who play there are away on the Sunday.

Could depend on which loan players are allowed to play too, whether or not a decent fight can be put up.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

I know who you were hoping for !

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Lucky you,maybe you'll get to the next round now.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Remember in the 1980's Rovers played at Notts County the same day Bolton played at Forest and the kick off's were staggered. They may well play on Friday/Sunday

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Look on the bright side we could've been drawn to play them at home! Twenty quid saved there!

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

O ye of little faith !....

An away draw is a definite possibility ... Followed by a home win witnessed by at least 2K fans !!.

Then again ......?:rolleyes:

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

"Exactly yonmon .......... the Cup throws up the unexpected, and who knows!"

After all we are due a run in the FA Cup......

Keep the Faith!

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Entirely plausible, except the 2k bit :(

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Not if they bring 1800 ........... :p

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Exactly !.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Midweek at short notice probably about 200 Notts County, 800 Stanley.

Notts County averaged 557 away last season compared to Stanley's 124.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Why is it short notice ? We already know it will be around Tuesday 18th November :)

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Halifax spanking our old foes Chorley in the replay 5-0 to set up a money making Telly Tie at home to Bradford. Chorley down to 10 shortly after 1-0.

Preston also nailed on to be on the box, and there are 4 other usual formula pics i.e. league teams away to non-league. No chance Stanley will get near the telly this round.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

All of the above post seem to think that Notts County away means the end of the road. Or is everybody loosing interest, after all we are now an established league club. What happened to the attitude we all had when we played Huddersfield Bournmouth ect in our non league days, Nothing frightened us then. Do I expect us to win at Notts, no not really but what a journey we have had.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Not ALL of the above posts!
There are still a few cock-eyed optimists out there, Long-Time.
As your final comment implies, even some of us who don't 'expect' Stanley to win still believe that they could.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

middlesbrough ???????

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

And thats the reason why we have no home fans....

1st round of FA CUP against FOOTBALL LEAGUE 1 CLUB NOTTS COUNTY which of who are the OLDEST FOOTBALL LEAGUE CLUB IN ENGLAND and we are who, Accrington Stanley?

How can this not entice people to come to watch the reds? Not even Notts County is good enough anymore... :130:

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Fulham wasn't good enough, Newcastle wasn't (quite) good enough, a play-off semi-final wasn't good enough ........... :(

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Notts County v Stanley game date Sunday 9th Nov. 3-00 K/O anyone know if Ash is organising a coach

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Well the playoff game was a sell out if I remember right??

The only time I can remember it happening.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

If you're right, apologies - I was out of the country but thought I remembered being disappointed by the attendance as well as the result. Someone is bound to have the accurate figure recorded somewhere ........

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Crowd was 4185 according to the BBC

BBC Sport - Accrington 0-1 Stevenage (agg 0-3)

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Getting back to the FA Cup if I may, it wasn't obvious when I checked on the NCFC web site yesterday but does anyone know whether you will be able to pay at the gate next Sunday?

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

It does say on the site there will be pay on the day but I don't know if that means you have to buy a ticket on the day.

Ticket Details Notts County v Accrington Stanley FA Cup

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Anyone know of a coach going?

I looked at the trains, and it is £51.50 and a bit of a Homer poem but without the cyclops.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Stone me! A reference to the classics in a footy thread? Next you know we'll have folks waxing lyrical on here! :D

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

If there's no coach, it's a lot cheaper if you split the rail journey at either Leeds or Manchester or even use the X41/X43 to Manchester, returning via Rawtenstall on the X43.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Taken off Ash's (AsFc62) FaceBook. hope this helps:)

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Thanks Mike and Mab

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

I went to watch Bury on Sat it was announced after the game that for their FA Cup game next week admission price for Kids & OAP would be £5 missed the others but it would be a £10 I guess. £5 cheaper that us for league games.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

And there was me trying to figure out what the Simpsons had to do with anything :rolleyes:

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

£10 is minimum charge for adults 1st & 2nd rounds, £15 from Round 3

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

[QUOTE=Long time red;1122801]I went to watch Bury on Sat it was announced after the game that for their FA Cup game next week admission price for Kids & OAP would be £5 .[/QUOTE]

And how much would you pay to watch Hemel Hempstead?

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......

Don't forget to take your bus pass with you.;)

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

If I did decide to go to watch Bury I would get my man to drop me off at the ground he would wait until the game had finished before picking me up at a pre arranged place. He would probably get the car valeted in the mean time. Exactly the same arrangements as when I go to watch Stanley. Do they still do Bus Passes??

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

It's free admission at Notts County for current and former service men and women:
Free entry on Remembrance Sunday for our armed forces.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

That is a great gesture, hope it is well supported.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Notts County web does say that tickets available to buy on the turnstiles ,

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Has it been announced which, if any of the loan players have been given permission to play by thier parent clubs ???

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Why would we tell our opponents our team any earlier than 1 hour before the kick off??

I'm a big believer of keeping our information "internal";)

I normally find out the team around 5 minutes before KO:)

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Buy a team sheet from the club shop, you find out before then :)

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

This is a real tough draw, but one we can get summat from if we play well. imho.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

If anyone's into steam trains, there's a Royal Scot due in Nottingham at 13:48 on Sunday!

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Could be an omen seeing as Coleman will be in town :D

I'll get my coat................

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Seems that my crystal ball is working again ...well it's halfway there anyway !.

Let's hope that the second bit of informed prediction turns out to be positive ! :rolleyes:

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Candidate for the lowest gate of the round IF we beat Notts County?

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

The apathy on here is amazing....!

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Odd replay price considering the cost of the first game, and I know the clubs don't agree the prices any more between themselves.

The clubs doesn't seem to be overly concerned with good will from fans - I'm out.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

If your first statement is correct, then Stanley had nothing to do with the entrance price on Sunday. And despite the generous offer from Notts County there were only 3,700 there.
But seems to me that Stanley, if they get through, are offering a £5 discount for a higher league team.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Personally i think its reasonably priced.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Two winnable matches...then perhaps the big one?

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

I jumped for joy when Oxford and Tranmere came out 1st :)

Not easy, but two winnable games , both at home for once.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

I don't care whether or not it as amazing, though UI am amazed at myself for saying that.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

There's too many people getting het up over apathy.

Personally I can't be bothered.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

:( What complete numpties at the FA to play 1st rd replays on an international filled fixture night! Have they no sence in there pea brains!! Scotland v England play a friendly and no dout it will be live either on sky or itv or bbc:( what chance have stanley or any other club got of maxamising the pull of the FAcup when there up against the formentioned. Replays should have been on the wednesday in stead :mad:

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Its more n stupid, i shall be up Stanley though n feck the international friendly.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Agreed Cashy, you and me both, plus most of the loyal supporters, but as Mab says, what chance of attracting others.....?

:) :) :)

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Really, anybody that prefers to watch a friendly game rather than a competitive match wants their head examining! Up the Stanley!

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Which England would that be Mab ?......If it's 'Woy's wonders' to which you refer, I guess that any true soccer fan would gladly find their way to t'Storefirst just to escape from the antics of Rooney and his gang of misfits !.
But wait !...Does this mean yours truly being clapped in irons by the FA for daring to speak
so disparagingly about our National team ?.......if so then I don't care !...and exhort all to get down to watch what promises to be a fascinating FA Cup battle with Notts County !
We'll be there !!

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

I'll be trying to find coverage of the Stanley game somewhere online seeing as I'm sitting in Germingland. :)

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Well well well - roll on Yeovil!! :D

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Brilliant, well done Stanley and all the fans.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

God bless their cotton socks, our lads thoroughly deserved that win - each & every one of 'em gave it everything against a very physical County side. Got to admit I didn't expect it after Saturday's showing & was in two minds whether to go or not - so glad I did, it was definitely the antidote needed after the Carlisle trip - well done lads & bring on Yeovil :)

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Stanley did well to earn a hard fought win. We had a couple of escapes with them hitting the bar clean through and a penalty shout? But both sides created chances and we defended well. Special mention for Mingoia worked tirelessly and was comfortable on ball. Carver won lots of balls in air, worked tirelessly and deserved his goal. Liddle as well stood out with good runs marauding forward

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

First of 4 games at home, and what a cracker. The work rate cannot be faulted throughout the whole match. Both Stanley's goals were well taken, but could and possibly should have another when Shay McCartan fired over when it looked easier to score. But what the hell. Well worth the win and bring on Yeovil. Bottom of league 1 so not much between us. One thing I will say, the assistants and the ref were up to their usual standards, rubbish. Didn't see much of the niggling and fouling going on against our players, but saw everyone of the fouls we (so called) committed. Yes the whole of the Stanley support had a sharp intake of breath in the first half for the potential penalty, and again I think the Clayton must have been blowing an updraft to put the shot onto the bar when the Notts player was clean through. Bring on Yeovil who I do not think will fancy coming up here. Winnable game. One disappointment was the crowd numbers!!!

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Spot on, Chevyfire. What a great night and a very good game of football too.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Good all round team performance, tonight, unlike sat everyone wanted it, fought like tigers n deserved the win. WELL DONE RED MEN.:) must mention fer the few chances county had, their keeper had to make 6/7 good saves.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

Well apart from the 2K gate its nice to say I TOLD YOU SO !!...But didn't they do well. I expect we can say that County not only lost their unbeaten away game title, but we're also well and truly stuffed !.

Tonight I am a happy Stanley fan...AE is ecstatic !.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

If I am honest,I didn't see that coming !!
County are a good team with bags of pace,but Accis work rate/desire was unreal.
Hard to single anyone out but Pierre and the keeper were excellent.
To close down their players for 90 minutes just shows how fit we are.
Joycy is also a far more effective player when he plays on the front foot and he never stopped all night,great night,great result,just need to back it up on Saturday

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

If i'm honest i saw it coming at Meadow Lane, then didn't after Carlisle,:eek: Said in Greyhound pre-match if we play like our away performance yon,we would do em, we didn't, we played even better.:)

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

STANLEY fully deserved the win in tonights replay!:thumbsup:
It looked like it was going to be a rather depressing night when County went one up but Stanley worked really hard to get back into the game. Marcus Carver didn't get a look in during the first twenty minutes against their two big centre backs but he epitomised the spirit of all our players by just getting stuck in and harrasing them at every opportunity. He tried his luck by moving out wider on both sides and it seemed to pay off as he got much more success. After about twenty minutes we had much more possession and really put pressure on the County defence. I was saying to the lads around me just before half time that we really needed to convert that pressure into a goal when the goal came! Luke Joyce was very brave diving low to get his header in for a great equaliser and a goal that was fully deserved.:theband:
The second half started with County looking like they were in a bit of shock by the intensity of Stanley's pressure and the quality of their performance.
It was indeed deserved reward when we went into the lead and I was dead chuffed for Carver to score the goal. Young Jack Rose had a good home debut, Liddle was superb again and he looked very hungry when going forward. Tom and Rob were pretty solid apart from Tom's backpass in the first half which looked like it should have given them a penalty!? Deano took no prisoners and didn't mess about. Procky and Joyce worked very hard in deep midfield. Pierro was superb, working tirelessly and showing some super ball control and making lots of penetrating runs going forward. Moly looks a bit out of sorts but he did some great defensive work, particularly when County tried to throw everything at us late on and we all know that he is always likely to provide that moment of magic even when he is not on top form. Shay had a busy game and looked dangerous when in possession but he did miss a sitter when he tried to hammer the ball in when all he needed to do was side foot it in from 7 or 8 yards centrally in front of the goal. As I said before Marcus worked tirelessly and deserved his goal.
All in all a fully deserved victory for the STANLEY.:alright:
Although only just over 1,000 attended the match the support particularly from The Ultras on the Clayton End was superb!:wave8:
We had some great banter with Roy Carroll in the first half and he responded well.:rofl38:
The Ref was weird as I could not understand some of the decisions he gave or failed to give!:signwier:
Great to see John, Jimmy and the team come up to The Clayton End to thank the fans and show respect.:theband:
ON STANLEY ON:wave8::signbeer:

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
 

I thought Nicky Hunt held the ball up well.

Re: F.A.Cup Round 1.......
