FA Cup

[Jeff]

It was confusing the hell out of me when they kept going to The Hawthorns to check on Stanway.

Me too. But only the radio listeners got to hear the reports. Online they did the handover and then continued with the Colchester match, so I didn't have a clue what was going on at the Hawthorns until they eventually mentioned the score.

anyone else making use of the lack of a Leicester match this weekend? a great selection of FA cup games are there to be watched and will finish in time for popping back to the boozer to watch England play shit. I'm heading to Whitley bay today and then to Kingston Park tomorrow

Leiston is a town that makes Coalville look civilised. Guess they just wanted it more.

Hinckley United v Ashton Curzon

Gotta fancy their chances there.

And if they do win they will be in the hat with City for the First round and we could face eachother. Looking at the lineup of fixtures for the remaining 4th Qualifying Round there are some interesting possibilities that could mean a visit to a ground which could struggle with a large away following or could be a meeting with an old league team. The likes of Tamworth(Gary Mills team) teams we played in freindlies like Kettering Town and Ilkeston Town also last years giantkillers Havant & Waterlooville previous FA Cup winners AFC Wimbledon or a very long visit to Lewes' ground The Dripping Pan where I went to watch Worthing play in the 80's (when I followed Worthing whilst living there as well as City) and who can forget Harlow Town now that was a visit to forget

and who can forget Harlow Town now that was a visit to forget

Agghhhhh. He mentioned the 'H' word :icon_eek:

previous FA Cup winners AFC Wimbledon

I disagree. Despite the move and the name change, I still consider the "MK Dons" to be the 1988 FA Cup Winners

MK Dons don't. A couple of years ago they gave the history of Wimbledon FC back to Wimbledon.

It's now one of the most unique grounds in the country. Very,very weird.

Never. MK can go feck themselves.

How is it 'more unique' than any other ground?

Unique looking.

I hope we get some obscure non league club. Almost any team from lge 1 & 2 will be naff imo.

if they win, Newcastle Blue Star would be convenient I think, especially for those who would be flying to the game

I remember the grass bank at Lewes it reminded me at the time of Harlows round.

Looks like you need a good pair of gripping shoes for standing there:icon_eek: or you're flat on your ar$e
