Cheers Mab i'll be back in time fer that,:)

Re: FA Cup 1st Round Draw
 

Been there several times, not sure what it is like now as it has been a while.

There are two Ilkley trains an hour from Bradford Forster square, although that isn't being given as a route for some reason (via leeds or Tod on national rail site for £19.30).

I recommend doing the above route £14.70 to Bradford Interchange then £3.50 from Forster Square to Guiseley saves £1.10 and more time for drink.

12.03pm Acc gets in just in time to walk across for 1.16 BFS, then 15 mins. Or go to the City Vaults on the way for a Saltaire Blonde for £2.75 and get any train at 16 or 46 past.

The Station is right next to the ground.The train back 35 from Guiseley and 26 ish from BI.

Great tie. Stones throw from Leeds on the rattler and away to a Non League side. Winnable and a good day out.

Re: FA Cup 1st Round Draw
 

Agree 100% Alvin.

Bananaskin United. Away. If it rains we're dead!

:D

Re: FA Cup 1st Round Draw
 

not a big one for trains but anyone going from accy to the game i would advise going by train. traffic can be bad no matter which way you go and parking is not too good if you don,t fancy a walk. typical non league ground two open ends and seating is at a premium. would hate to be there if they shoehorned 4000 in. nearer to three would be more like it. could be all ticket as they made the hartlepool league game one earlier in the season. will be funny watching stanley play somewhere where i run the line a few times last season for their youth team.

Re: FA Cup 1st Round Draw
 

true mab. quite near for me but due to traffic will take as long as it does for me to get to stanley.

Yes your right ...but I think the Media like to call it "The Magic of the FA Cup!!!!"

Re: FA Cup 1st Round Draw
 

Next Week.:D

Re: FA Cup 1st Round Draw
 

Nobody in the 1st Round of the Cup can CONFIRM the date!!

Unless notified by the FA ( and nobody has been notified yet) the default date for the tie is 3pm on Saturday 4th of November. Last year games were played Friday, Saturday (various ko times), Sunday and Monday.

To me the stand out ties are;

Hyde v MK Dons, Shaw Lane v Mansfield and then a lot of ones that might get the nod!!

The official announcement last year was on the Friday after the draw.

Re: FA Cup 1st Round Draw
 

As I thought and now confirmed by the FA;

Hopefully live matches confirmed tomorrow PM

All the other games selected for additional coverage, Welsh broadcast, Overseas broadcast, Single Camera coverage and live commentary will be by Friday PM.

Re: FA Cup 1st Round Draw
 

I had to look up Sahw Lane, good shout as never heard of them before.

Chorley v Fleetwood is possible to be shown, Rosler, Cole, Jansen, Lancs derby etc.

Re: FA Cup 1st Round Draw
 

Please don't anybody make any plans until the date is agreed.

When we played Woking away at the height of the Christmas Party season we could firm up a training venue or a hotel until the FA announced things. It was late on the Friday for both 1st and 2nd rounds when we got the information through.
