FA Cup 2023-24 FA Cup R1 Draw

[tim lane]

Not sure how this will sit with his players but Marc White, the Dorking Manager, gave a pretty honest and funny interview after they lost to Horsham:

'f*****g s**t players' and 'wholeheartedly a bunch of players that were absolutely s**t'. Next training session should be interesting!

He's helped by the fact that he also happens to own the club.

 

[Big Ron]

He's helped by the fact that he also happens to own the club.

And founded the club as a Sunday league team about 25 years ago! It's a good story.

 

[Bath Yellow]

Hope City win the replay tomorrow.
welcome back Matty Taylor with FGR.
got his first goal for them on Saturday

 

[bazzer9461]

Bloody hell baz Turley 2016 Mate I think you need to get checked

Yep you’re right getting older….well that’s my excuse anyway forgotten his name but want it that overseas goalie we had Lithuanian or something

 

[bazzer9461]

Few years out mate. Probably Slocombe or Buchel in goal that day.

Buchel I think it was

Well it began with L.

We'll call it a draw.

Like I said, I don’t think it will be on TV but will be one of the 6/7 games on the Sunday. Just a hunch.

Away, and we'd definitely have been on TV.

But at home, should be straightforward progress even if we give a couple of players a rest.

Reckon the TV companies will show (in order of certainty):

Chesterfield vs. Pompey
Bromley vs. Blackpool
Hereford vs. Gillingham
Billericay or Sheppey vs. Walsall
Kidderminster vs. Fleetwood.

Could go with City/Scarborough vs. FGR, but I just wonder if they'll think FGR are too small themselves, and in rubbish form, for that to really count as a cupset.

They would have loved to show Wrexham, but not sure they'll be able to justify it when they're away to a fellow League Two club......

S4C also show the FA Cup, so will have either the Wrexham or the Newport game

 

[Mellowyellow]

What constitutes a good day out.

So if drawn away, probably only allocated 500 tickets and have to enjoy the delights of Maidenhead Town and their local pubs.

Yes really great, I think not

Merstham a few years a go?
Better than sitting in a wind tunnel with a few hundred away support, and the atmosphere of a libary.

 

[Chris1963]

Decent enough draw, should win and a non league team we haven’t played (that I can remember)

I saw us play a pre-season friendly at Maidenhead on 19/07/2008, but this will probably be the first competitive meeting between the two clubs since the 1950's. There were three FA Cup meetings in that decade;

11/10/53 Oxford Utd 2 Maidenhead Utd 0 (crowd n/k)

10/10/54 Oxford Utd 4 Maidenhead Utd 0 (crowd n/k)

18/10/58 Maidenhead Utd 1 Oxford United 6 (3,025)

Although we have played at home to Braintree in a replay since then, I think this is the first time we have been drawn at home to a non-league team since the 2-0 defeat of Thurrock in a 4th qualifying round tie on 24/10/2009. That is 14 years, quite a big gap.

We were drawn at home to Gateshead in 2013

Well done for that. I attended the Thurrock game, but not the Gateshead one - which explains my error.

And Hartlepool a couple of years ago? I think they were non league then.

Yes, this was one I had in my mind as well, think you are right.

 

[Leysboy]

Yes, this was one I had in my mind as well, think you are right.

Yep beat them 4-1 after going a goal down.

We’ve had some excellent cup draws in recent times, and been on the box a fair few times too.

 

[Jonny G]

Shandon Baptiste got the goal of the round against Hartlepool, it was third round to be fair.

Was it moved to a Sunday to be part of that rubbish coverage where they show goals from 10 or so games?

 

[uptheus]

Have they confirmed the date for this match yet, whether it will be on TV and when the tickets will be available?

 

[holdsteady]

They are always slow with the TV dates for the FA Cup for some reason, in limbo till then.

 

[Jster]

I checked - last year they were announced on the Thursday, after the replays had been completed

I think it also Fossu’s last goal in a Utd shirt
