Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Drawn Monday 7pm live on bbc2
Millwall away please, could do wi a decent pub crawl

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Matches to be played on 5 November. As well as the 24 Conference teams, there are a number of our former foes still in Saturday's 4th Qualifying Round matches:
The website for the English football association, The FA Cup and The England football team - The Emirates FA Cup | The FA

Westfields away would suit me!

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Torquay Away would do nicely.............

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Gateshead away! Nice non league away trip'd be good :)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Having had a mate, put in intensive care years ago, anywhere bar Millwall will do.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Barrow away please

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Isn't that the Millwall of the north?? :rolleyes:

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

He wasn't at this game was he Cashy? I was there that day. A horrible place indeed!

That's Clive Wallwork (Not sure 100% about his surname) in the video. He has the barber's shop on Abbey Street.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

No mate was in late 60s, Clive is my barber top bloke goes in Peel Park Pub.;)we were late teens early 20s and the came at us with meat hooks, these were middle aged blokes not kids.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Yes the same with us. We went in the "family stand" thinking we'd be safe but blokes in there 30's and 40's(we were 16/17 year olds) gave us hell! One nutter even got on our coach after the game brandishing a knife. We'd had enough by now so he was quickly disarmed and shown the emergency exit...while the coach was moving!:D

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Nice local-ish non-league away tie would do me.

Fylde away a few years ago was one of my favourite away days.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

If we draw Salford, at least we'll be on the telly!

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Fortunately, Class of 92 FC already out of the FA Cup - all that hype around their 'fairy story' last season was sickening

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

don't know why but when I saw the thread title the immediate thought was Forrest Green at home. If I'm right, guess I need to fear the ducking stool. On t'other hand, Chimer will tell you that this season I can't forecast what day it is !
On the Millwall issue, I have heard tales in the past of their ThugsRus brigade that search out opposition fans pre and post match. Hopefully that's in the past otherwise you may well be talking pub brawl - not crawl.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Tranmere, Mansfield or Carlisle my bet is on.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Confirmed as ball number 1 . :)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Very apt in my view.:)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

We've made the 1st round proper for 11 consecutive years. What a record!! ;)

A plethora of mouth watering ties available here. A new non league ground would be preferable for me. Failing that a League 1 behemoth away such as Bolton, Charlton or Sheffield.

Not that it matters. We'll get Tranmere for the 1700th time since returning to the league.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

any non league club like stevenage at home.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

i also am partial to non-league grounds, as smobile said Fylde was a cracking afternoon out.:)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

north ferriby,

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

were the hells that?:confused:

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

about a mile from the humber bridge. only a small village on the north bank of the humber. must be the smallest place in the country to have a pro football team although a lot of their fans wear hull city coats. makes padiham look like a large city.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Tranmeres out Barrow did em today.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

They went out today also, Spennymoor wouldn't mind at all.like it up that way.:)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

merstham at home then one here for cashy

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

What's the betting it'll be bleeding Dover away!

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Barrow it is then :)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Southport away hopefully!

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Got to be my local team please. Stockport County.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Knocked out, seems odds on because of the connection, the winners of that game will play Stanley :)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

my sons a county fan so i,d love that too. second best would be hartlepool away, but after yesterdays luck i suppose it,ll be somewhere down south when you,ve got to get up at some silly o,clock in the dark to travel south of the london wall sorry i mean m25.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Macclesfield away would be good always a good day out.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Quite a few potential banana skin games in there :eek:

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Always want a home draw, but Southport away looks tasty :D

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Any team as long as we win and eventually make the 3rd round or further to help pay back something to Mr Holt for all he has done for the club.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

A nice easy and winnable draw for me would suit.....home or away....a bit of luck, a similarly kind draw in round 2 and get to round 3 and the chance to play another big side and some more money in the process.....:D

Not asking for much !!:rolleyes:

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

will be interested also to see if any of our loanee players are allowed to play for us in the fa cup. it will give us some idea if they will be with us after their loan period ends in january.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Anybody followed by anybody in round 2, then West Ham at home in round 3.

Ta

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

I'm fearing the Daggers, as it's close enough to me to make me feel I should go, and although I like the ground, I hate the area and always get lost en route :o.

Eastleigh away would suit me nicely :D

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Morecambe it is then ;)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Well on the basis that you will hardly ever predict these things, I will confidently go with Chimer and say Daggers away, on the basis that it is indeed a horrible day out with virtually no redeeming features, other than good transport links at Barking to get the hell out of there. And I can indeed confirm that Chris struggles to find his way out of Dagenham :)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Step nine Westfields FC??

(where's that)

Only a stones throw from Edgar St!!

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

'Crawl' or 'Brawl' ?

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Spennymoor would be a nice trip down memory lane

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Bradford !!

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Away to Bradford

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

That'll do!! :)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

My dad used to take us to watch Bradford around 1971-2, so will be good to return,

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Personally think its a bad draw,:eek: good gate no doubt but very hard to progress, imho

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Brilliant! Away draw against higher league opposition with a direct link from Accy on the Trans Pennine express! What more do you want.
Rather this than the potential banana skin of a non-league outfit. We always play better against better opposition. Get the banners out!

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

£14.70 off peak return - not bad at all, looking forward to a good day out :)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

We've beaten 'em once this season - ok, will be a different game at their place but we beat them there as well a few years ago in the JPT (& received a police escort out of there :eek:) Bring 'em on!!

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Oh i'm looking forward to it, be stupid not to be.;)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Cheaper for an old duffer like me, as I have a railcard. However, surely this will be an odds on 10 coach certainty. In which case, b****r the train!

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

I think the law of probabilities makes it a very good draw.
The chances of getting to round 3 are 1/4. Therefore take the biggish game now. There's still a chance of progressing.

Bratfurt average attendance is 17,500. What's the gate likely to be for this un?

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Wouldn't mind betting its average at least.? not often they get chance to see a good side.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Is there no Lady Stiffupperlip with which to take advantage of the "Together Forever" card and a 33% discount? The coach may have a certain appeal but as a fellow Lord then surely nothing beats sitting in first class and waving ones handkerchief at the peasant children that come out out the sleepy pennine villages and sit on the railway fences looking for their father to return?

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

I suspect Stanley's kit will soon need to be trimmed with ermine! ;)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Lord D,
Lady Cicely & I both benefit from Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway discount cards reserved for the aristocracy & certain shareholders. Perhaps you would care to join us in our private Pullman car. However, you & Lady D must bring your own butler as we had to let our railway carriage staff go due to outstanding tax demands at Rusting Manor.
Yours truly,
Sir Rodney Stiff-Upperlip KFC
Ps. Depending on Bradshaws timetable, we may need to ask Blenkinsop to dust the Armstrong Siddeley down.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Bratfurt average attendance is 17,500. What's the gate likely to be for this un?[/QUOTE]

a lot less than that i,m afraid as most of em have season tickets due to the price and the yorkies will have to pay extra for the game which won,t go down with the generous nature.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

even better for me as the bradford bus runs from the bottom of my road so its free for me although i,ll have to hide my scarf on the return journey after we stuff em.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Following Lord Stiffupperlip's lurkdom on the Blackpool forum I headed straight for "Bantam Banter" (or whatever amusing name their forum is) after the draw was made but found it was only for those who could choose their fave Bradford player and what year they won the Cup.

Clearly a bit of subterfuge was required, so I went for David Weatherall and 1911, and I duly slipped in the side door unnoticed.

It's the "go to" place for Milk puns I can tell you that. I don't think they have left any dairy related terms unused in their hours of side splitting amusement since the draw was made.

Anyway, they seem quite pleased with the draw - mainly a chance for revenge.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Can they write in yorkshire?:confused:

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

not joined up letters and only if its free.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Yorkshire? Illiterate? Tight?

When my parents took the disastrous decision to cart me away from the paradise that is Accrington that meant living about 4 miles from Bradford City centre for a decade.

Educated and influenced by Yorkshire people I was. I easily learnt their ways - how to be stingy and mean and how to be stubborn and opinionated. Somehow, I learnt to read and write - not sure how as the book we had to study for English O'Level was Kes (Kestrel for a Knave) which is just a couple hundred pages of Barnsley slang.

My sporting education started in Bradford too. To prepare me for going to watch Super Leeds I was taken to Valley Parade for a few months to endure some dour kick and rush rubbish. When I reached the point where I could take no more, the wonders of Elland Road were mine.

Whilst I never felt compelled to return I do have some fondness for Bradford .... not least because one saturday I was playing golf on the hills overlooking the city when those infamous and horrible plumes of smoke started to rise into the air.

So, whilst they are an odd lot across there, whilst Valley Parade almost put me off the beautiful game. I really can't wait for this match.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

I think your parents must have taken you to Yorkshire on purpose to see whether you would sink, or swim.
It must have worked because you overcame hardship to take the Lordship of Didsbury!

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

The link following will (I hope) take you to the official Bantams 'Visitor's Guide', which you can also download as a PDF.
It gives excellent advice on how to get to the ground by road or rail etc., together with local bus information.
Well worth a visit.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

sounds like i was brought up a bit like yourself being dragged down to yorkshire from the north east. my mother hated it, but it was worse for me as my education was halifax town at cold comfort farm in the late 50.s where their fans enjoyed their side giving the opposition a good kicking, i wonder if our mate westley had a yorkshire upbringing.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

I thought it was common knowledge that Yorkshiremen were Geordies, Mackems and the like (suppose monkey hangers are included), with their brains kicked out.:D

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

no just their pockets sewn up.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Yes we can write in Yorkshire

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

aye but are yeh a lancashire immigrant?

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Nope Yorkshire born n bred

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Perhaps immigrant Lancastrians taught around your way?:D

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

well matty pearson signed a new contract so they,re not all bad.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Have yeh seen that contract? far as i'm aware "X"s are valid.:D

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Matty Pearson probably signed with blood! :)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Stanley may take 400 and Bradford 5 to 7k. I'm not sure what your definition of a biggish gate is? Bradford had 3 FA Cup home games last season and all were below 6.5k. I guess they have well over 10k season ticket holders and they are very keenly priced, however they don't want to pay any more for the cup, plus stanley are not a draw.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Have to disagree, wi stanley knocking em out of the other cup. think it will be quite attractive to see em get even, "They Think"

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

£15 admission, not bad at all seeing it's usually £25 - think I'll take the trip to this one

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

When do they go on sale is the question?

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Saw something on the Fishy site today, but only about prices.
Guess it depends when Bradford get the tickets printed.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Has he volunteered to print them?;)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Bradford have them on sale from today so I presume it's just a matter of when they get ours to us, could even be pay on the day as I doubt we'll fill their away end?

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

£15 on coach for members of OSC, £18 for non-members?? Bit steep for the distance, train's looking good :)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Perhaps Dav could pay for them too!:gooddog:

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Now that's a Fans Rep who'd get my vote! :)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Quite a treck from city centre station to Valley Parade, you'll need a taxi.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Yeah, I've checked on football ground guide which reckons it's about 20 to 30 minute walk but with the coach going at 11 there's gonna be a lot of walking round to do to kill time up to kick off anyway & there's the option of getting a bus from interchange if weathers' not good.
It's more the trek back to the train station in the dark that's bothering me - still exploring my options :)

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Bus.
Pub.
Maybe game

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Accymad - it won't be a walk back to the station, it will be a raucous celebratory sing song.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Gentlemen,
According to local bus information, there are several routes serving Bradford Interchange station with the Coral Windows Stadium, which is only 1.1 mile away. The bus takes only 3 minutes + a 5 minute walk. Can't imagine a taxi will cost much, especially if shared.
Services 626, 662 & 737 go past the ground but full details are shown on the official Bradford FC visitors guide - see my earlier thread.
Tally-Ho!

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

walking time is about right but a lot of it is uphill. the 662 keighley bus is every 10 mins. from the top of the interchange. imagine the coach will get to bradford before 1 o,clock and a couple of hours in bradford is more than enough. if anyone wants to eat try the oastler centre karen at woodies. decent cheap meals and she,s got a soft spot for stanley although she supports l...s. beiong a non drinker can,t give you any info about pubs but i,d watch myself as some look a bit grotty.

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

Cheers MH, might be uphill on the way to the ground but at least it'll be downhill going back :) - got mixed up about it being dark going back as was thinking clocks would've changed but as that doesn't happen till Saturday night it should be ok
Coach will get there around 12 & for me, that's a tad too long to wander round or spend the time in the pub

Re: Fa cup 1st rd draw
 

You're doing it wrong then! :p :cool:
