F.A. Cup 2016/2017

[Thundersley Blue]

Margate or Wealdstone away would be nice. These were the 2 clubs I was taken to watch before my 1st trip to Roots Hall.
Margate were in the Southern League and Wealdstone were at that time in the Isthmian League. I am going back to 1961 !

 

[Hampshire Shrimp]

Eastleigh away.

 

[Floval Flyer]

Local NL team, Billericay, Braintree, Ebbsfleet, or perhaps Dartford. Home or Away, then a home draw against a struggling League 2 side (Colchester perhaps...)

Then I would love a home tie against Liverpool ! I can still remember that match at a snowbound Roots Hall in January 1979. Turning up an hour before KO, getting a great position standing at the front of the West stand with my Dad. Incredible to do it again!!

 

[wally4pm]

Forest Green Rovers away please. It is well tucked away but as I have been there I will probably be the only one who finds it. We will get spanked of course.

 

[Kevin Hogg]

The worst team left in the competition at Roots Hall. Possibly our only hope.... ; )

 

[RobB11]

Their ground must be one of the best in the Country (at their level). Mind you, they do play at the same level as Bowers & Pitsea and Brightlingsea Regent !

And what a club they are! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I saw Bowers and Pitsea @ Thurrock on Saturday - their number 10 scored two terrific free kicks!

Assuming you saw Wealdstone at Lower Mead, that's now a Tesco :sad:

Now playing in Ruislip - handily close to a tube station at least.

I saw Bowers and Pitsea v Maldon on Tuesday - the opposing number 10 scored with a terrific free kick!

Yes, but who will we be playing? :winking:

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Wealdstone at Lower Mead most definitely. I have promised myself I will go to their new ground in the not too far distant future. The last time I went to see them was when Southend played them in the F.A.Cup and that was at Lower Mead. I may well be wrong but did Stuart Pearce not play against us that day ? Sadly my Grandfather was not alive then to see the game.

His name is in the team listed in the programme, so probably !

It's on its way!! You just could not resist it!!!!!

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.

 

[Fairport]

Southend United are ball number 43, draw on Monday on BBC2 and BT at 7.10pm

Sharing that one with you Kev, John Walker gets the winner in a 1-0 and we spend the rest of the game and journey back ducking from Bloody Watford fans.

The station is Harrow & Wealdstone, the football club is and was Wealdstone.
