F.A. Cup 2016/2017

I wouldn't mind braintree, or col u or orient home or away.

That said we will no doubt get Hartlepool away.

Whilst I would love St Albans away, the reality is we will get about 2 tickets for it with such a small ground. So I hope for Barnet away - a chance to find out how to get to their new ground.

I wouldn't think tickets for an away FA Cup tie will be a problem even at a small ground. The level of interest in the FA Cup has really dropped off over the past 10 years or so.
I cant imagine Barnet's new ground holds more than about 5,000 either. Mind you plenty big enough for them.

6,400 ..... however the planning permission stipulation restricting them to 5,176 has not been lifted yet !

I went to Wealdstone in the cup - Harrow & Wealdstone FC as they were then.
Trouble outside a pub and then some nasty local lads (Watford fans I suspect) waded in on the terraces. We were badly outnumbered that day.

Harrow are still in the Cup, unlike Wealdstone !

Errr. no they weren't! :nope:

Westfields saw off Leiston and are by far the lowest down the pyramid. I'll settle for them at home please...away sounds nice but their ground only holds 2,000 tops.

Though we all know it's going to be Rochdale or Bury away as usual

A non league team please. Probably get someone awful like Grimsby.

 

[AndyT]

Billericay got knocked out! :sad:

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

for me, the perfect tie would be a non-league team away, but one in south Essex (East Thurrock would be good) or South London, or Dartford would be alright for me.

but failing that anyone who isn't in the same division as us, that always makes me sad

 

[Benfleet A1]

Everyone in The Bell for East Thurrock. That would be cozy.

Try to keep up - they went out a month ago to Whitehawk :winking:.

 

[Jai]

Spennymoor away please

 

[Floval Flyer]

Eastbourne Borough away would be a good craic :smile:

 

[LCBB72]

Anyone we can beat would be nice .

Barnet have built a brand new away stand that holds 1500. Don't know if it's open yet though. I dove past their ground a few months ago. You wouldn't know it was there on approach. It's hidden at the bottom of a hill. Wouldn't mind going there in the fa cup though.

Love the FA Cup draw. Any non league team away would do me.

 

[AndyT]

All your runners and riders for tomorrow night :-

Should we be drawn away, this may be a tasty venue................

..............however, with a ground capacity of 2000, I don't know how many they'd allow in the away end! :smile:

If that was the draw I expect it could be a TV game with the rest of the nation hoping we get stuffed. Sounds like fun.:smile:
