FA Cup

[gazan]

4th qualifying round this weekend so the draw for 1st round proper will also be made Sunday/Monday. There are lots of intriguing possibilities: Leek; Chester: Oldham; Nantwich. For me there's Alty; Avro(!); Curzon Ashton; Rochdale.
🤞for some of these teams to get through and draw the Alex.
It would be nice for the Alex to at least get through to the 3rd round. We need a cup run.
Hopefully with reference to recent years in the League Cup we don't draw someone like Peterboro away.

Sorry, getting my lists mixed up so scrub Nantwich and Avro (&#128532 but add Ashton and Hyde!!

[gazan]

So...draw for 1st round takes place on Sunday on ITV @ 2.30.
Any preferences??

[Terrierstan]

Hopefully a home draw ,Oldham would be ok they'd bring a fair few as well, And for us to put a strong team out to win the game!!

my preference - Derby away, coz ...

Not too far to travel, and ground very close to railway station
Large crowd, decent gate receipts
Can take large number of fans
and
Good chance picked as a game for the Tele

Oh, and I think we could win the replay

[gazan]

Chester for me. They have to beat Hartlepool first.
Altrincham is my 2nd pick.

[gazan]

Ah well only Chester and Curzon Ashton got through.

[gazan]

Derby County!!!!
At least it's a home draw but when are these draws going to be nice to us for a change?

ah well, nearly got it right ...

Personally I would much rather play a team in a higher division, than a non-league (banana-skin) side ...

Think it stands a very good chance of being on the TV
Derby will fill the away fan section - guaranteed
Great atmosphere

And who's to say that we won't win the replay
