F.A. Cup 2015 - 1st Round - Scunthorpe (A)

[Chalky]

If we do get a non league team away, then the winners of Halifax v Guiseley would be perfect for me.

Ex Shrimpers Forward Liam Dickinson plays for Guiseley now.

 

[shrimperjon]

Chester at home please, that should be easy.......oh wait a minute!

 

[dusterman]

I'd like Salford FC away with the Neville connection could be good

 

[Bolton Shrimper]

Due to be in Dorset on the 7th so any south west club away would be good, particularly Yeovil.

We have of course visited the Shay (is that right - Halifax) on a number of occasions. As for Guiseley, I wonder what their pitch would be like. Interesting. Could organise a flight from Southend to Leeds Bradford for the trip. :unsure:

If we are going to be up that way, what about Harrogate if they triumph over the mighty Grimsby?

 

[cerbera45]

Woking was a good trip (Nathan Jones anyone?) :-)

 

[spoons]

Living up here I would like Chester/Altrincham or Wrexham or Crewe or Tranmere away please:happy:

 

[Thundersley Blue]

I am hoping that Margate beat Forest Green. My Grandad took me to my first ever match at Hartsdown Park. Margate versus Worcester City. Be great to go back there.

Am I the only one that doesn't want a non league club we've never heard of away from home? Firstly, there's
hardly any upside to the tie (aside from a possible TV match) as even if we win 6-0 it will be expected and if it's a draw or defeat then it's embarrassment for us, plus hardly any of us will be able to go due to the tiny capacity

Its the magic of the best cup competition in the world, playing a club that we wouldn't usually cross swords with. You could say the same about the 3rd Round, the big Prem clubs not wanting to play us for the same reasons.

Bring on the minnows!

 

[Kevin Hogg]

Any team not currently in League 1.
Non-league at home would be great. We can dream again of Kings Lynn 9-0, Brentwood 10-1 and Weymouth 7-0.
Obviously will be 0-0.

 

[jaffa1]

I'd be happy with Sutton (mate used to play for them) Bromley (mate's mate currently plays for them) Harlow (mate supports them) or Brentwood (local and fond memories of a cricket score v them when a lad)........

There are a few League 2 teams i'd rather avoid as well, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Oxford etc. And the likes of Morecambe, Carlisle, Hartlepool and Accrington away would be awful.

We gave Morecambe a pasting last time we met them in the F.A. Cup ........ and at their place as well.

Yes but even so it's still probably one of the least interesting draws we could get. And even though we won before I wouldn't count on us beating them again.

Im with you, a minnow at home would be fine, but little interest in away games unless they are on TV

 

[Prawn]

Really would like a non league side, the kind you'll never play in the league, and away from home to make it a day out!

Something like Aylesbury?

 

[tottenham541]

I'd like us to host a brentwood, Harlow or a braintree, give them a day out won't it:smile:

Not so sure about Braintree, that could be a banana skin match.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Oh yes - I'd forgotten about the possibility of a T.V. game. Histon v Leeds is a game that sticks in the mind from recent years ..............

Hope not.Just booked a ticket to see the Ecstasy of Wilko Johnson on that date.
