Johnnyrotten Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 We'll know our opponents in a couple of weeks. Could be playing Chorley, they're the only club to have got a bye to the first round. Other NW non league teams we might still play, if they win on 24th October: Skem, FC Utd of Mcr, Stockport, Fylde (or Altrincham), Chester (or Marine).

Shame we won’t be able to visit, remember Witton Albion last time we were in the Mickey Mouse league. Couldn’t get a ticket so ended up jumping the turnstile.

Being honest, I’ve got virtually zero interest given we can’t go. Knowing our luck we’ll have a really good cup run that will feel empty as fuck having to watch it at home on iFollow. Technically speaking, a crowd would be allowed if we were away to Skem, Marine or FC Utd but somehow I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, got absolutely no feelings for it this season at all. Draw the highest ranked team possible away so we can get knocked out with no shame and concentrate on this scintillating League 2 campaign instead.

Barely even worth turning up, especially if we ended up with an away tie at Pompey/Plymouth/Exeter etc which would mean paying for hotels etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted October 16, 2020 Moderators Share Posted October 16, 2020 Also Skem actually doing a supporters' coach to Stafford. Possibly the most stupid thing I've ever heard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a game changer but not to be sniffed at in the current climate. Any lower league club that gets past the 3rd round, with a live TV game thrown in - could arguably be the difference between surviving the season or not for some.

They were a big story in local non league at the time, won the league below the conference by 16 points. I remember thinking it would be a tough game and ripe for a giant killing with it being on MOTD. Turned out to be a bit of a stroll, think we won 3-1.

As above, for a lot of the potential ties it will cost us more than the £22k prize money just to fulfil the fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be completely wrong but haven't they regionalised the draw this year due to Covid? If not we could get Canvey Island or Dover away. If either of those were drawn to play at Carlisle you could understand if they withdrew rather than pay for travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a trip to OT a few months later, what a mob we took, never forgetting the walk down Matt Busby way 3/400 lads taking liberties, locals weren’t best pleased, but did nowt about it other than shout & scream. I wonder if Red roger was with us or shouting at us from across the road. Red Army my arse. Edited October 23, 2020 by Mounts Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King's Lynn now have a bye too, as Notts County have withdrawn due to covid test failures in the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
