FA Cup 1st round draw is Monday.

Who would you want?

I'd like to avoid any league clubs. Harrogate play Gainsborough tomorrow so winner of that would be nice. Otherwise Bignots Chester? Boston, Scarborough? (that's if they progress tomorrow)

The best supported team away (revenue) or the lowest ranked team at home (next round) would do me fine

A trip to the seaside to play Scarborough would be good!

Although thinking about it, I'm up in Scotland that weekend so will miss the First Round whoever we draw.

I'm going along to Ross County on 1st Round day to watch Ross v Motherwell (see how Richard Tait is getting on)

A tie that we can win or a tie we can make a load of money off. The same every year until we get to round three and then it’s one of the top six home or away every time. That said I was really disappointed to draw Huddersfield at home in R3 the other year but it turned out to be one of the better, more memorable cup games I’ve seen us play.

FA Cup 1st round draw is Monday.

Who would you want?

I'd like to avoid any league clubs. Harrogate play Gainsborough tomorrow so winner of that would be nice. Otherwise Bignots Chester? Boston, Scarborough? (that's if they progress tomorrow)

Any of those five would be a good call, every single one a good drinking town.

Good call.  If it's a home game, because of our limited capacity, it makes no odds if it's Chelsea or Sheff Wed to the gate receipts.

South Shields VS Hartlepool United

Should be a good game on and off the pitch.
Pound to a pinch of excrement we will get the winner.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Away to a tiny non league team. Welling, although not so tiny would be great. We haven't won ANY cup game since we returned to the Football League!

Folkestone, home or away. Knocked the mighty ducks out in the last round. Home would be fine coz they are pretty Shiite, away coz it's a nice little town, good number of decent boozers and a decent little ground. They also have the 'noisy boyz ' ( I kid you not) who are boys, but are definitely not very noisy!

Paulton Rovers at home....for no other reason than they sound a bit Roy of the Rovers ish.  

I wonder if their star striker is called Paul Pace ?


I watched Salisbury v Paulton last weekend and Paulton scored a cracker to win the game.  skip to 3:25.

I take it you don't mean us Rob?! You'd like to watch two utterly excrement teams at BP  


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

Chelsea would (probably) mean TV money though.


That's why I said get receipts. Knowing the BBC they'd ignore it in favour of an all-Premier League fixture like Stoke v Bournemouth.

Folkestone, home or away. Knocked the mighty ducks out in the last round. Home would be fine coz they are pretty Shiite, away coz it's a nice little town, good number of decent boozers and a decent little ground. They also have the 'noisy boyz ' ( I kid you not) who are boys, but are definitely not very noisy!


Folkestone would be nice. Used to live down there in the mid-80s. There used to be some good boozers as you say - there was one run by what must have been the inspiration for Al Murray's Pub Landlord, right down to the blazer.

Oh yes I know, I only mentioned that because LH talked about making money. I believe the correct term for a draw like that is "football fortune"

Vale away, easy one for me to get to as I'm certainly not going out of my way to get to a match when this is the quality


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

As far as the FA Cup is concerned I only have one dream and that is to draw Man Utd away. So my one desire is to get easy draws until both our balls are nestling in the bag and I have memorised both numbers.  I have sat in front of the TV numerous times and prayed to every god I can think of for this eventuality to happen and it never has, even  Man Utd or YYYYYY v XXXXX or Grimsby Town would do me, but I don't think I have even experienced that partial conditional joy. Obviously winning the tournament without playing at OT would be an even greater experience, I have set myself a more modest life goal or just witnessing GTFC run out onto the Old Trafford pitch.

The fa cup run for the gimps last year, proved to be a catalyst for their season. Let's just hope it does something similar if we were to be as fortunate.

wonder if we would be on tv, should we draw the Shrews again.

The only way we would get chosen for TV would be if we got drawn against one of the lowest ranked teams left in the competition.

The only way a Grimsby/Shrewsbury game would be shown on TV in the FA Cup would be if it was the semi or the final!

This! I'd prefer away. Folkestone is on the up...honest! It's a town that has a wealthy benefactor (Saga) and is doing a huge amount of work developing its "culture" and it's a case study for Grimsby Councillors and their new grand regeneration project. It has a high speed link to London (I admit Grimsby will struggle to get one of those), the channel tunnel (and one of those) and a lot going for it now. It's been a real dump for a long time but things are changing. Like you say, some good pubs and anywhere with a Martello Tower is worth a trip.

Does the League cup count, because if it does it happened.
And to think we celebrated Phil Jevons day this week, maybe we should celebrate drawn against Man U day a couple of days later, a bit like Good Friday and Easter Monday or Christmas Eve and Boxing Day

Don't recall seeing the one in Hythe that had been converted into a house. Do they still have that carnival parade on the military canal at Hythe?

We will beat them UTM


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Always like a trip to Plymouth. Got friends there and it’s a great place to spend the weekend. It’s a long way but it’s worth it. Barbican is a great area for a few drinks.

Talking of Man Utd, they are the only team we have never played in my lifetime, and I was born in 1953.

Law of averages must mean that we must draw them soon.

There is no such thing as the law of averages! What happened in the past has no influence on the future.

I'd say we have about a 1 in 4 change of beating Plymouth, and maybe a 1 in 4 chance of making in through to Round 3 should we get to Round 2. There are 32 matches in the 3rd round so the chances of drawing Man Utd (home or away) in the third round are 4 x 4 x 32 = 512. 1024 if you specifically want to be at OT. Obviously there is also the chance of making it through the third round and drawing them in the 4th or subsequent rounds. But I'd say it's at least 400/1 that we play Man Utd this year! As for Old Trafford itself that's going to be more like 800/1!
