Away to Buxton would have been lovely. Oh well, decent draw all the same.

2 leagues below us currently in 11th

A quick Wiki search reveals they have the highest ground in the football pyramid (1000ft above sea level), were formed in 1877 and we once bought a player from them in the 50's.

Good draw that, hopefully our players will SPRING into action and get us through to the next round....

Decent draw,  especially with being at home.

That's all water under the bridge...

No sheep till Buxton !!

Quoted from STB

No sheep till Buxton !!

Classic  


You could say we need to reach a Peak.

Didn't Nicky Law used to manage them?

And didn't legendary skipper Matt Heywood play for them?

There ends my (possible) Buxton knowledge.

I prefer Peckham Spring myself.  

Quoted from Les Brechin

I prefer Peckham Spring myself.  

Ha ha, that was on gold last night.

Water we to make of that draw?  Still, I expect Buxton will put on a sparkling performance.  I just hope Town don't bottle it.

Im not sure i can go because on that Saturday i am watching snooker at the auditorium and going to the finals the following day

Hopefully CAPPED of with a decent performance hopefully PH will get the boys up for it

That will certainly be of interest to the neutrals.

I thought you said it had to be a home tie for that exact reason - no you're saying you don't know if you can go? Come on Aaron make your mind up - who are we all going to see if we can spot if you're not there? You're being very, very selfish IMO!

Buxton play at the highest ground in England so the journey to Blundell Park will be the furthest vertically in the country, as Blundell Park is the lowest ground in England - just 2 feet above sea level.

Fine i will go, does it go into extra time and penos or a replay if its a draw?

Straight to replay on the dreaded next Tuesday I think...pretty certain.

Good draw !
Will tickets be full price ?
Went to Ashington last year but can't remember how much I paid.

Erm. if I think I'm right has anyone spotted who the recent ex Mariner in their squad is yet ?...

No 80's part from the manager?

Quoted from Super Clive

Thanks

"For the second time this season the Bucks won at Stamford, this time with a Mark Reed first-half brace to earn a place in the 1st Round Proper of the FA Trophy for the first time in 23 years.

Martin McIntosh’s squad was down to the bare bones with Kallum Keane suspended and injuries to Kyle Nix, Sam Duncum and Lee Morris. Also recent signing Anthony Griffith Junior, who was cup-tied for the match, has now been released. Jack Bradbury was fit enough to return to the squad and he was on the bench with fellow under-19 players Charlie Johnson and John Ballington, who came on to make his debut for the senior side."

Is that him ?
Not sure he'll be playing though !

Ahh I was looking at wikI.....although a certain ex imp Kevin sandwich   plays for them!

Quoted from 1600

That was the FA Cup.  

Darlo in the Trophy was a tenner, I think.

Ah right cheers mate.

At one point in time, Blundell Park was under sea water in the 80,s,

Very high tide.

Really you've not mentioned that before!!

Remember that they have already won in Lincs.

As their ground is so high, and our is low, it will be all downhill for them. Just like water.

In fact their play is all up and down hill.

Dale will be at home with playing Buxton.

If they bring any "chesty" women will they be known as  "buxom Buxton fans"?

Quoted from Doctor Sanchez

Very good.

Quoted from aaron rattray

Phew panic over - There would have been tens of drunk of 'Aaron Spotters' had you not made an appearance!

Quoted from STB

No sheep till Buxton !!

Sheep , sheep everywhere
The little woolly f**kers are all over the place
Sheep , sheep everywhere
Trying to find the one with the prettiest face.


Classic band , got a great cd by them.

good draw!

Looking forward to this.  Don't expect much, mind. Anything we do get will be a bonus.   Nice little pay day (assuming a 1000+ crowd turns up) for us though! Expect around 200-400 Buxton fans to turn up.

You can even check us out here if you want: http://www.BFCTV.net

If 200 of you turn up it would be better than most blue Square teams,

Anyway welcome  and enjoy your day and our fish + chips.

Used to go the Buxton Blues Festivals in the early 1970's. Just checked out the 1973 one for posterity's sake. Believe it or not, the line up was Canned Heat, Chuck Berry, Nazareth, Edgar Broughton Band, Groundhogs, SAHB's, Medicine Head and Roy Wood's Wizard. It was amazing...and very ****ing wet!"

We have a strong 50-100 hardcore following to away games anyway (most of which are pensioners!). Took 200+ to Guiseley (FA Cup 4th Qual) and 100ish to Stamford in the last round.  And if the fish and chips are anything like Whitby's, we shall! Don't worry there!

BTW some of the puns in here are appalling.

Fair play to ya. Depending on price, I'd expect 1200-1500 home fans.  I can count on one one hand the teams in the BSP that have/will bring 200+ here!

As for the puns, get used to them if you're gonna frequent this board in the build up to the game

You'll love the fish and chips we're better than Whitby! .. I hope you enjoy your day out and hope your boys score a goal for your away followers (after we score 3 or 4) to give you something to smile about

Just seen you reduced the ticket prices to £10 and £5 for the match.  Thanks! (Weirdly your concession price is lower than ours at £6!)

We travel well to "big" away games, all the part timers come out of woodwork and jump on the bandwagon.  Took 1000 to Burton in 2003 in the FA Cup 4th Qual.  We got hammered 6-0.  They were 3 or 4 leagues higher than us though!

we took a good 2000 to burton a few years back..needlees to say i'm sure they would welcome us back with open arms..

Yes, we had an interesting day at burton...anyone fancy that as our first game back in the league?

Quoted from aldi_01

Yeah, and all the lads who got 3 year banning orders after the last match could go, having never seen us play a game in The Conference.

I don't get it

I guess he's saying now you've said that, life's simply not worth living anymore aaron.

If anyone's interested, Buxton lost 2-1 at home to Kendal today and missed a last minute penalty.

Quoted from Les Brechin

Lee Ashcroft is the Kendal manager

Quoted from aldi_01

There would be a certain symmetry to that!

And the people who got banning orders at that game - would that be the first game they're allowed back? (The orders were for 3 years, weren't they?).

Jack Bradbury is a local lad who plays in our u19 team, so I'm guessing it's not the same player!

Looking forward to Saturday.... for those of you who are interested, our supporters team, FC Buxton, will be facing yours in a match in the morning.

Hopefully two decent games!

Agree mate hope you have two good games! How many you think will come? Safe journey.

I'd say 200-300 at a best guess.

We drew Fleetwood away in the last qualifying round of the FA Cup a couple of years back and made a bit of noise. Always depends on how many jump on the bandwagon as has been mentioned above.

Sounds like we might outnumber some of the away crowds you get in the Conference anyway.

Ideally I'd have liked a more winnable home game so we could progress in the competition, but drawing you boys away is definitely a plum tie for us... and you never know with cup football

Sound like a half decent bunch...
Remember that hornchurch fan on here last season guys?
