FA Cup 1st round draw Monday 17th October

[Manorlounger]

^^ what he said

home draw v a low ranked non league side Bracknell Town maybe? to (hopefully) progress into round two, then another home draw V low ranked opposition would be IMO ideal

We'd have to beat whoever we drew to get into the next round. Didn't do very well last season, did we!

Another benchmark for KR this, 3rd round minimum.

If we get Ipswich, Sheffield Wednesday or Plymouth, he’s screwed then.

We could extend that to any side in the top 14 of League 1 this year.

SCUM home or Away

 

[Paul B]

Well my take on all of this is we'll either get the team whose number is pulled out before ours or after ours.

You are scientifically correct. Do you have a degree?

In order of preference:

1) Scum at home
2) Scum away
3) City at home or away
4) The lowest possible ranked club at home (when I lived in the UK, I would have said the lowest ranked team within a couple of hours travel of London away - because I used to love those away days - but now I live 4,000 miles away, it's all about winning!). Alvechurch, Merthyr Town or Needham Market sounds about right
5) That same side away

I really wouldn't want us to get drawn against the Scum with the way we are currently playing.

Wonderful Robbo out!

Wonderful Robbo out!

You talk some absolute rubbish at times but this tops it! You’d want us to lose to the scum if it meant Robinson went?!

 

[holdsteady]

The season isn’t going to be that exciting by the looks of it so wishing an FA Cup loss to get rid of Robinson (especially when league results will be the main factor in that) is self defeating, at least a decent cup run will make the winter more bearable.

That's defeatist talk!

Scum games are always epic events (and always likely to be on TV!), and we should always embrace them, not run in fear!

Halifax FC away. 5 minute bus ride for me.

 

[Scotchegg]

Getting through the early rounds could give us a big 3rd/4th round game just as we're putting out the plans for the new stadium. A sell out game, live on BBC, cup fever, foil cups, Timmy Mallett, half and half scarves, fans on car roofs looking over the fence, giant killing, naked changing room shots! And it all starts here!

 

[oufc1991]

Ideally I want the lowest tanked team left in the cup followed by the second lowest tanked team in the second round followed by either a trip to old Trafford,anfield,spurs new group, amex, Emirates that would give us some fun

 

[westyorkshireexile]

Away to Woking

 

[Jaboysmith]

Woking away

 

[Upthecowboys]

Great Baps..

 

[unification]

BAPS!

 

[oufc1991]

Not easy but we should win

 

[Oxford84]

Good draw for once.
