FA CUP DRAW

[The Watermill Wino]

Quote[/b] (TerryintheWest @ Oct. 22 2005,18:37)]If the capacity is 7000 and I'm sure it is less, our allocation will be 1050. However on their website, it states that there are 1500 places available should the away demand be there! I'm starting to feel a little better about it but it's still a lottery.  

 

Terry you forgot to mention that 1000 of those seats are the south terrace. A temporary job like Gillingham Uncovered.

Could well be the live game. They always like to feature a top League 1 side against another League side so with a bit of luck it might just be the live again.
Ideally it would be on Sunday.

Er, doubt it

Weymouth v Forest anyone??

 

[MightyShrimper]

Think the weymouth v forest game would be on bbc1 but I think there is a possibility of our game being on sky. I hope it isnt though!

who remember the away game to Barnet when Alan Little was in charge.

we won 2-0, Lee Hodges with a brilliant goal.
'Anyway i didn't have a ticket but just turned up, they were doing tickets on the door still, the temporay stand was full so they shoved a load of us in a weird cell type thing at the end of a home stand (and locked it)

but still people kept coming in from Southend, most just stood round the edge watching, the crowd was only 3,500 and we must have had at least 2,500 there.

I seem to remember Shrimpers in the family stand bit as well.
Certainly the only game i've seen where away out numbered home.

I remember a cracking own goal by Heald i think it was, and then currethers??!! got sent off for congratulating him??

Haha!

As has been said someone will have 'fallen giants' Forest on the TV, i wouldn't mind betting Huddersfield v Welling makes the sky or BBC game.

Or even Col Ewe v Leamington (as i believe Leamington are the lowest placed team left)

Won't be this one. They usually go for teams of contrasting size, stature, support and grounds. Col Ewe is too similar to Leamington on these accounts.

Quote[/b] (TerryintheWest @ Oct. 22 2005,18:21)]What a crap draw. They have space for 500 away fans and we have 2600 season ticket holders. The tickets are going to be like gold dust!!!  

 

If it's any consolation I am in Germany that weekend so I won't be taking up my seaso allocation. Abd I've always liked my previous trips to Underhill.

Different match !

They were both sent off as he reacted badly to being congratulated !! Tinkler was also sent off.

The most memorable "departure" was Prudhoe who was subbed at half time after getting much abuse for yet another inept 45 mins.

Marlon King and Darren Currie were playing for them who have gone on to better things.

.... and Sam Stockley who has gone on to Col******r.

We had some really crap players then. In addition to Prudhoe, there was Connelly, Beard, Booty and Campbell.

BBC usually do small non-league teams against League One teams but SKY sometimes like to do one or two games featuring 2 good league teams. We're top of League One so theoretically we're the best team in the draw and SKY love us but Barnet are 21st in League Two so I doubt we'll be on TV. If it is I hope they don't put it on a Friday.

C*l U could be on, they're playing some tin pot non league team I've never heard of.

Surely that describes the team that Leamington are playing?

Quite happy with the draw, never been to Barnet before. Just hope I can get a tricket for it. I guess there's always the home end if not, can't see Barnet selling it out.

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

last time i went to barnet i didn't get in - it was their do or die match to stay in the league v torquay and i fancied watching someone suffer which in the end was me after travelling 70 miles (& 70 back), missing five goals, two streakers and Barnet going down.

bit apprehensive about this one, ain't been lucky there yet in a few visits and the suffolk shrimper flag is due another run out (so far its seen three games and no wins).

but we should thrash them, they are a poor team in a poor ground with no support. we are a top team with great support and on the up.

 

[southend_utd_fan]

Havent been Barnet before and its not far so im happy with the draw.

 

[W4 Shrimper]

Man Utd in the League Cup, then the mighty Southend in the FA Cup. Great times for Barnet

ABsolutely correct. My old man went to the game Hodges scored in, I'm pretty sure fat boy houghton scored the other one. Either way he said it was a great game to go to, I missed it and was gutted!!

Certianly was, one of the best away games i've ever been too.

Barnet just didn't stop anyone from buying tickets, i guess they needed the cash. As i said we must have had 2,500+ at that game and only 500 were meant to be there.

Hopefully they give us a good number of tickets this time, or we'll have to gate crash and all stand at the edge of the pitch again.
