Breaking News FA Trophy 5th Round: Southend United v York City, Saturday 11 Feb 3pm

[Shrimper]

Should beat them

 

[dbailey3]

York at home it is

 

[Tampa Blue]

York at home

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

Can't argue with a home tie at this stage of the competition.

Tricky tie though but one that is very winnable.

 

[Shrimper]

We play York at home in the league the weekend before as well...

 

[Maroon Blue]

York at home two weeks running

Aaron Mclean does talk some crap

yes, he said “Southend are doing really well, just OUTSIDE the play-offs“. News to me.

Not like he's employed by BT to cover National League games or anything

exactly. But then in the FA vase he said the standout tie was whoever Liverpool Town are playing as thats always a name people look out for!

I'm sure York will be over the moon with that draw. An away draw, probably one of the toughest from their point of view and two long trips'down south' on consecutive weekends!.............super for them!

 

[Stuart W]

Tinpot coverage of both draws. Probably a bit sad that I knew this, but the guy calling out the draw said EIGHT times that in the FA Vase next round West Didsbury OR Chorlton would play whoever, when it is actually West Didsbury AND Chorlton. (I only know this as I have a mate in Stockport).
These guys should really do their homework…….

If these guys had actually tried at school they wouldn't be doing the draw for the FA Vase in the first place.

 

[Maroon Blue]

Would have been Chelmsford if they had won the penalty shoot out

 

[shrimperjon]

anyone else think its daft that this trophy isnt regionalised?

Would make so much more sense for it to be a North South comp with a final between one north and one south team.

How many will York bring for the league game, 200 at best. For the cup less than half probably

 

[Smiffy]

Could of been better and could of been a lot worse.

I'd much rather be in our position than York's that's for sure.

Two week's on the trot a looooong trip to the Hall for them and their fans. Ouch.

Tough game though and by no means an easy passage to the QF.

 

[Evening Echo]

SOUTHEND United have been handed another home draw in the FA Trophy.

That all I can ask for.

 

[Stuart W]

Presuming the Dorking game is rescheduled for sometime after it was meant to be played, we have a run of five consecutive home games starting on January 28th!

If they are sensible they will book a week on Gods Riviera.

Yep.

Ron will be pleased, the groundsman less so...
