I presume this means we will get a bye in the first round? :icon_wink

 

[Melton Fox]

Blimey, I thought it was totally random :icon_conf

 

[City Fan]

It could be worse, we could be classed as northerners.

 

[Jeff]

I presume this means we will get a bye in the first round? :icon_wink

No, it means we get to play an unseeded team in the first round.

 

[SwedeFox]

The first round is the week after our opening game, right, so Tuesday the 12th then. Give me a London game... London game............... London game.

 

[Jeff]

I wanted us to be in the northern section. Hope we're in the northern section for the paint pot.

 

[Brauny Blue]

We might still get a tv appearance.............against the Dog & Duck in the 1st rd of the F.A.Cup:icon_bigg

14% chance that the game will be in London

50% chance that the game will be in Leicester

33% chance that you will be able to get back to London after the game by train

 

[Anstey Fox]

We will probably be in the South East Section of the draw for the Paint Tins Cup, if it follows along the lines of last year, where there were four sections, North West, North East, South West & South East for the first round draw.

 

[alex]

Oh god, this is all so drab.

 

[bocadillo]

33% chance that you will be able to get back to London after the game by train

... if you ignore the fact that the match might go to extra-time and penalties.

So effectively one of these will be our opponents?

Exeter City, Aldershot, MK Dons, Dagenham & Redbridge, Brentford, Barnet, Wycombe, Hereford, Yeovil, Cheltenham, Millwall Bristol R
Leyton O, Swindon, Luton, Bournemouth, Gillingham, Peterborough.


Why the feck don't they just draw it randomly?

Any of those in bold would do.

One thing about us being in the southern section though, on a map aren't we further North than Walsall, Wolves and Brum?(Not much but....)

but not far from sheffield and leeds either

 

[Melton Fox]

We're closer to Greater London than we are to Leeds.

 

[beaumontfox]

I think they should have a Midlands section as well. I don't much like being called southern or northern!

 

[ashmeister08]

We're closer to Greater London than we are to Leeds.

but with all the london teams in the draw surely we should be in the north

 

[Melton Fox]

I'm not in a position to debate that point, as I couldn't give a monkey's who we play.

would like a league 2 team as another new ground would be good
