Mallet watches Maidenhead doesn't he?

Yes, the Timmy Mallet derby!

Just wait for a shot of him in the crowd if a proper camera set up is at the ground!

Would hope he will be supporting us!

Shite draw. Local or smaller team away, for a good day out.

Well they are local and smaller, it’s just at home. It’s definitely not a shite draw, that would be away to Bolton or Peterborough etc.

Much rather make the third round and have a chance of a trip to a prem club, had enough trips to small non league grounds in the four years we were down there.

Maidenhead will be thinking its a great draw for them, localish a reasonable crowd, and possibility of tv?

If he supports them then I think the club should not be as welcoming to him in future!

Really annoyed me that Reading were in the ‘featured’ part of the list.

They have been in the PL and only recently relegated from the Championship. Yes I know we all remember similar size to us Reading and them playing at Elms park plus they have lots of plastic fans (ironically if things go well with our new stadium, so will we) etc but for the purpose of the first round draw of the FA cup I can understand why they have been made a featured team.

Doubt we will be a live game with us at home? Away and it probably would have been. Do they still move games to the Sunday for the tv results round up thing?

I can see the game being part of the Sunday afternoon bunch of games they like to move but not broadcast (just show goals when they happen online)

Local derby, interesting game for round 1.

 

[Concretebob]

Reading v MK is going to be absolutely dead in that stadium.

I hope not, they done that with the Bristol rovers game a couple of seasons ago and it was an early kick off on Sunday.

Will anybody care?

Will anybody care?

I would hazard a guess at no.

Happened with Braintree away in 2015/16 too

That’s ok isn’t it, home against a local team we’ve not played before. Annoying that City have a fun home tie at the same time.

They have still got to get past Scarborough first, City were lucky to get a replay scoring in the 98th minute.

A reasonably simple progression to Round Two for the Yellows.

Apart from we’ll probably make it fair by playing the second string

 

[Marked Ox]

Happy with that, a good tie on paper.
