Scunny, I beg you

Im at a Butlins Music Weekend so im hoping someone shite away

Quoted from AdamHaddock

Scunny, I beg you

I did say I would like a minnow at home  

If not Scunny at home let’s host Ebsfleet or Hampton & Richmond

Sheff Wed away , we’ll take 7000 fans like last time we played them in the Cup.
Yeah we’d probably lose but we can get on with the title chase and have had a good away day

Best have Scunny in round one because I doubt they will be in the hat for round two!

Southend 0-1 Chertsey  

Quoted from grimps

Sheff Wed away , we’ll take 7000 fans like last time we played them in the Cup.
Yeah we’d probably lose but we can get on with the title chase and have had a good away day

If it isn’t Scunny at home this would be ideal for me. Big away day and pay day and as you say more than likely crack on with the league.

Wrexham Losing😂

Yeovil concede a last min equaliser, hopefully resulting in a mid-week replay and them all knackered for next Saturday

Quoted from Hagrid

Wrexham Losing😂

Last minute (94th) equaliser finished 1 - 1

Lowest ranked side at home, play the same team as today.

While we have done the job today Halifax, Wreham, Notts County, Yeovil & Torquay will have to play another game this coming week.

Quoted from grimps

Sheff Wed away , we’ll take 7000 fans like last time we played them in the Cup.

Is that the one we lost 7-1 ? Highlight of the day being Johnny Osters belting goal..

Quoted from The Yard Dog

While we have done the job today Halifax, Wreham, Notts County, Yeovil & Torquay will have to play another game this coming week.

So next Saturday will be Yeovil’s fifth game in 15 days. Half our team will be refreshed having had two weeks break. Has to be a big advantage for us.

Some NL teams struggling today, Wrexham, Notts Cty, Halifax, Torquay,  and Dover. Aldershot and Woking, who we beat, are both knocked out.

Just shows that we have a squad in depth and as someone posted only 1 man on the pitch who started last week. TBH I don't think any team in any league will fancy drawing us, particularly at home.

Sheff Wednesday or Sunderland please, home or away

Quoted from Dave Gilberts Left Peg

Sheff Wednesday or Sunderland please, home or away

We'd lose though probably. I want to be in the round 2 draw.

I want a home draw with anybody.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

If not Scunny at home let’s host Ebsfleet or Hampton & Richmond

Would have loved to get the Beavers away. Shame they lost.

Lowest ranked team, chance to rotate the team again.

Corinthian Casuals?

Quite fancy a bit of New York easy to get to and would take 3/4 k

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

This. If not a home tie then away to Rotherham or Wednesday. Fed up of going South!

Quoted from Croxton

This. If not a home tie then away to Rotherham or Wednesday. Fed up of going South!

Any of the South Yorkshire clubs would be a good day out and I think we’d give donny a good game

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

And Bogle still wouldn't get named in the match day squad.

It is also gnawing away at me that we cannot be drawn against Beavers.  We are lucky though as would never get past their solid static defence.  We would be in deep water.  Damn.  

Sudbury away please just up the road from me and in the Sunday morning reserves league equivalent

Quoted from AdamHaddock

Scunny, I beg you

this with bells on

Anybody looked up afc Sudbury? That could be one of the worst away days ever 🤯, ground in the complete middle of nowhere.

A win against Scunthorpe in the first round would certainly wind the pressure up a notch on Messrs Swann & Cox.

If it was away, there is a possibility that we could also outnumber them or do people think they would make an exception and turn up for that game?

Personally, I would like to avoid the bigger clubs for a couple of rounds.

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

Fair play! You swerved the obvious smutty references. 😁

I did.  Not a hair out of place.  True.  Watch my lips.

I'd prefer a good league 1 side. Sunderland, Ipswich, sheff wed. If we get through be terrific day, but if we don't let's get back to the league and our games won't get postponed in the league has long has the oppersition are out too.

Quoted from Ipswin

Sudbury away please just up the road from me and in the Sunday morning reserves league equivalent

AFC Sudbury would be good but it's a plastic pitch. They play in the Isthmian North - so like Grimsby Borough. Let's not be disrespectful. I've seen them play a couple of times and they're no mugs.

I also know two of their players both of whom are really good lads.

Would like us to keep drawing lower clubs in the hope of getting further and getting some cash in the bank

Quoted from Mariner Ronnie

Been there. Really nice place. Great for a weekend away.

Smashing ground, often used by Premier League sides for training before a match at Ipswich (when they were in the Prem).

Never heard of "Bowers & Pitsea."

We'll get them now I've said that.

Horsham away would be good as their pitch is on the outskirts of the village I live in. Although if we lost I would never hear the end of it

If we get a lower placed team it’ll be similar to yesterday; damned if we do and damned if we don’t…

We get a decent league 1 outfit, good away day no will probably have heard of them but likely to lose. Whilst the league is of paramount importance we can’t underestimate the value of a good cup run…

I'm all for a good cup run as long as we don't pick up injuries along the way. Promotion is the target season and nothing should get in the way.

Lower end team for the next two games then chance our arm at a money spinner.

I don’t know about anybody else though but the thought of United away only appeals for the money, the gulf in class is so wide that the game would almost certainly be thoroughly unenjoyable, just as Chelsea was a few seasons ago.

Completely agree.

Scunny at home or anyone from leagues below are the only draws I’m wanting. Wouldn’t be keen on a Sheff Wed away just get. Get through a couple of rounds then got the excitement of possibly getting one of the ‘big guns’

Lowest possible ranked team at home, or Sheff Weds away. Only two draws I will accept & will boycott anything else as it is clearly a fix

Quoted from promotion plaice

Never heard of "Bowers & Pitsea."

We'll get them now I've said that.

Basildon. Another plastic pitch. Long ball merchants. Very direct. Best burgers in Essex in my view. Also the home of Hashtag Utd.

Home to as low a team as possible; or Scunny (is their much difference) but will most likely get someone like Gillingham or illegitimate Franchise away.

The thing is with a big prem side away yes as mentioned and as like away at Chelsea apart from the day out and the visit to a top side and ground the game itself was no contest

On the other hand at home in Round 3 v a big prem side a packed BP could well be a different story

Still let’s get through round 1 eh!!

One thing is for certain and it's a while since we could say this, away to Grimsby is a draw that the majority of teams in the hat won't want...

Quoted from Mariner Ronnie

Some good boozers though, sod the match (we'll win 10-0 anyway) stay in the pub

My wife who comes from the Newcastle area has just informed me if we draw Morpeth at home (assuming they get past York) she will be supporting them in the away end....and she comes with me to BP normally to follow Town.

Sacre bleu

Merde alors!

Do you think your ex-wife will continue to go to BP on her own?

Hope we get 69

I have this giddy excitement feeling just before every cup draw and I am always disappointed. When will I learn?

Ipswich would be nice I bet Paul would love to go back there and show them what a good team he has put together.

59 v 38 please.

Kidderminster away

Very annoyed they've now replaced the caterers at Kidderminster who did the banging cottage pies

Fukin kiddyfidlers

Very winnable. excrement draw though

Are we happy? I think that’s very much an ok draw

Cottage Pie fest

Good draw , enjoyable day out and very winnable

Winnable tie, gives a a great chance to progress to the next round. No complaints from me.

Quoted from headingly_mariner

Cottage Pie fest

no https://harriers.co.uk/news/2021/07/30/food-provision-at-aggborough/

Gutted.

Good draw, winnable and only an hour away from me!

Quoted from Chrisblor

Very annoyed they've now replaced the caterers at Kidderminster who did the banging cottage pies

Given the mastermind behind those cottage pies died last year, I think it’s safe to say it would have been a breach of food hygiene regulations if he hadn’t replaced.

Currently having an average season in National League North - 11 points from 8 games - tougher test than Bromsgrove, but should give us a good chance to progress.

Quoted from Chrisblor

flipping tragedy!

Happy. Kidderminster have a decent ground and decent food. Nice day out  and winnable. Here's to the 2nd round

Winnable and loseable  
I would rather have had them at home but on paper we should get past them

Quoted from grimps

Winnable and loseable

Can say that about any game we play

Play as we have been doing and we’ll be fine

We're going to get to Wembley by winning 7 games in the West Midlands

Mid table in the national league north. Obviously tougher than Bromsgrove but I'd still be resting the likes of McAtee and Waterfall

Sunny get Doncaster we get Kidderminster, boring

Quoted from Hagrid

Yeah I know but Scunny would have been easier 😂

What about on grass?

Quoted from Abdul19

We're going to get to Wembley by winning 7 games in the West Midlands

No I think we are moving west as we progress - away at Swansea in the QF

Play as we did yesterday and Kiddy shouldn't be a problem. Looking forward to round 3.

Pleased with that - great big covered away end which helps make a great atmosphere

Huge, huge shame about the catering (those cottage pies........)

but still got the King & Queens at the railway station

one of my favourite away trips

The King & Castle.

Relatively ‘safe’ draw, would’ve preferred a home draw for once but a winnable tie

Can we ask the Severn Valley Railway to put on a football special for us?

The majority of non league sides have been drawn away to league opposition which is a bit excrement. Of course Lincoln get Bowers and Pitsea. At least 7 non league sides through to the second round though, hopefully we'll be one.

Bit Meh!

Winnable but will be a much tougher test than Bromsgrove.

Was hoping for a home tie.

Decent draw, gives us a chance to get through and another opportunity to mix the team up again.. looking at there squad list recognise a few names including Alex Penny who was on trial here before.

Mid table a division below, got to be happy with that. Their fans appear to be even less enthused than us so not as if we’ll be walking into a cauldron of noise. Seem to think we’ve not got too bad a record there either. Would almost prefer to have them away where they’ll want to attack than at home where they’d sit back, aim to frustrate and nick a winner or replay.

Quoted from Les Brechin

The King & Castle.

I think it becomes the King and Queens on Thursday nights 😉

7 visits. Won 3 Drew 3 Lost 1.

Very pleased , another great away day for the faithful and what should be a big chance to get into 2nd round  

The objective is to get into round 3 (or further), this then makes Kiddy away in the 1st round a decent draw.  

Nice food ,if football no good can watch steam trains on Severn Valley Railway.

As others has said it is certainly a tougher test than Bromsgrove Sporting, but we are top of the league let's remember and Kidderminster are mid table of the league below so we will go in as favourites of course and we should really still have enough to beat them but at the same time I am conscious that it is a potential bannana skin

Smashing ground, often used by Premier League sides for training before a match at Ipswich (when they were in the Prem).

Same here, went for the weekend a few years ago, a lovely part of the country, I even once played on their old ground many moons ago.
