F.A. Cup 2017/18 (Yeovil away)

[5scoops]

Long way to go to lose !
Let's be honest Phil brown cup record is very very poor

 

[Tommy2holes]

6 and a half hour round trip ! :stunned::thumbdown:

To to see us lose...

no thanks !

And the rest. It takes 5 hours to get there

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Brown says the next 2 games will define our season.If we are still struggling and we loose to Yeovil it could be taxi for Brown time

*1-0 to Yeovil.

With 3 minutes to go Yeovil win a corner. What happens next?

 

[mattitouk]

Surely, Concord Rangers v Bury! :thumbsup:

Not for myself, it's probably quicker for me to get to Ebbsfleet's ground than to the bottom end of Canvey Island.

 

[Danshrimper]

And the rest. It takes 5 hours to get there

No it doesn't. It takes just over 3 hours.

 

[BrettieAngell]

No it doesn't. It takes just over 3 hours.

3 and a quarter according to google maps, but going south M25 is ****ing *****.

 

[mattitouk]

Northampton V Scunthorpe is probably the worst draw of the lot, & from what I can see is the only tie to contain 2 teams from the same professional divisions out of the 40 made tonight.

As for us away at Yeovil, the only positive I can currently take out of this, is that our pitch will get 2 and a half weeks rest before we get the opportunity to kick the **** out of col ewe on it.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Ga me we should win:happy:

HA! It's nice to be young, isn't it? That means you're not still haunted by nightmares 1958 and 1964! Went to the first home tie and then stood outside the offices of the Southend Standard in Clifftown Road for news (they posted hand written sheets, giving news of the game, selotaped on their large front window) of the replay in '58 and the away tie in '64......................neither ended well.:cry: At that time Yeovil were a non-league side with history of giant killing on their awful sloping pitch...................and they did for us..............TWICE.

 

[RHB]

Surely, Concord Rangers v Bury! :thumbsup:

You can just hear Pancake and his Bury mates now..............'Where's Canvey Island? really? Aw FFS, It sounds as if we will have trouble filling the Shaker Zone mini bus for that one'.

Yeah but we got revenge in 1982.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Yeah but we got revenge in 1982.

Ha! I'd forgotten about that. Had already moved out of Southend in the seventies.

Re: Northampton v Scunthorpe - good spot. In fact the only other tie where two sides play in the same division is a semi-pro one, and even then Billericay have to win their replay tomorrow, before a game at Leatherhead.

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

3 and a half to 4 hours. Looking at moving to Sunny Somerset and it's normally about 3 and a bit and Yeovil is a bit further than we normally go.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Bad memories of Yeovil.
Dad and yours truly must have been the only Blues when beaten 1-0 at the Old Huish, slope and all, Nov 16 1963 - not 1964 as some have said.
I scattered his ashes after the 3-0 win over Yeovil in 1982, and in one of those moments of dark humour, my shoe came off in the glutinous Hall mud as I waded out in the middle.
Had to hop on one leg holding the urn while trying to put the shoe back on. My sister was howling with laughter.
The Southend sec at the time, Keith Holmes (I think) shouted from the dark on the sidelines: 'Are you OK out there?'

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Good draw for me personally. Another one to tick off the list

 

[ShrimperOT]

A good draw for me. Just over an hour's trip up the A303.

 

[Taunton_Shrimper]

Even though its just up the road for me its a truly unexciting draw, crap uncovered away end, can't a get a beer in the ground either.... Probably only be 1500 there as they are struggling and their gates are shocking.

To those driving down, 3 Hours to Yeovil on a good run.

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

And the rest. It takes 5 hours to get there

Exactly 183 miles from Roots Hall to Huish Park.

Travel time: 3 hours 22 minutes

 

[mattitouk]

To be fair, not everyone (other than rats) lives in Roots Hall.

For example, I'm sure it would take Suffolk Shrimper or MK Shrimper to name but a few a fair bit of journey to get there.
