The world's greatest cup competition starts this weekend. Any other forum members going to watch a game in the extra preliminary round ?
I will be going to watch my local team Spelthorne Sports take on Chertsey Town.

Unfortunately I can't make the trip to Bracknell to see Cowes (have been there before though). But, this post puts me in mind of the FA Cup c.2008. Cowes' extra prelim round was scheduled for the Friday night away at Ringwood, and to allow us to get ferry home the hosts agreed to a 7pm kick-off. 90 minutes later we'd been thumped 5-0, meaning we were the very first team knocked out of the Cup that year, or looked at another way, were the complete antithesis of the eventual competition winners. I like to think that means that in a parallel universe somewhere we actually won the Cup. Such are the daydreams when you support non-league minnows... _________________ Always looking for pre-1980 Cowes homes, pre-1987 Cowes aways, and any other bits and bobs relating to Cowes F.C. and I.W. football in general. Someone has to. |

I couldn't resist the Northwich Victoria v. 1874 Northwich tie. Should have a little bit of bite to it. |

Away day for me at Wolverhampton Casuals v Malvern Town. Nice to see the BBC showing a live game from every round this season. |

I'll be going to Leighton Town v. Oxhey Jets which is being played at Berkhamsted, due to the stand at Bell Close being renovated.
Of course we'll get knocked out - we always do |

Blyth Spartans play away tomorrow so I'm headed to EP Newcastle Benfield v West Allotment Celtic. Known as the 'Coach Lane Classico' as both grounds sit at either end of mile long Coach Lane Road. Suspect a big turnout as WAC almost folded at the end of last season when the Northumbria FA dramatically increased ground rent, thankfully the Northern League community rallied round to get them stable for this season. _________________ Howay Blyth!

My nmatch day carer collects Sussex clubs HOMES inn FAC and for the last 3 or 4 seasons, if Brighton are away,a nd we're not going we go to a game in sussex. I like to do new grounds, and of those at home LIttle Common is the only ground I havent been to.
Unfrtunatly for me due to work there ground is not useable, so they are groundsharing with Eastbourne UNited, who ironicaly they were drawn togeter in the cUp, or was it afix.,
I have done United twice before,but it is also Little Commons debut in the tournament

Despite Hoddesdon Town's website saying they are still playing Cup games there, they arent. Moved to share with Ware so having only 25 minutes to find another game, I headed to Broxbourne Borough Vs Tower Hamlets. Game finished 1-1
Replay was a feisty affair with Tower Hamlets coming out on top.
Next round they were at home to Takeley who ran out comfortable 4-0 winners. (No programme so was glad they lost)
So the next round sees me heading to Cheshunt to see if Takeley can progress in this years comp.
Not sure how far I will get in the Road to Wembley but its great fun |

Saw Cheshunt defeat Takeley quite comfortably on Saturday. Will return to The Stadium to see them play Dorking Wanderers in the next round.
Nice ground, very friendly people. Enjoyable day |

Last Saturday watched this cup fixture, 7 goals, end, to end stuff full of great excitement.
Fortunately we got the right result, but not before spending 45 minutes thinking the team was still on the coach!
Nice little set up Sports have, they have come a long way in a short space of time, power to their elbow, I wish them well.
Great programme by the way £1.00, colour and plenty to read, and very informative.
All in a all a great day, and only 10 minutes from home to watch an away fixture. |
