Inevitable we'll get King's Lynn away. My grandparents lived nearby so I always wanted us to draw them at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re all point and press automatics so providing you take junctions wide enough to get both ends through (front end is about 20’ in front of front axle, back end about 20’ behind rear axles) you’ll be reet.

If the family unit had been split up it might have to be StepDad and Ladder. Shortened to Step Ladder. Obviously it would be banned due to it being sexist.

paulhanley Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Some interesting results today, narrowing down the candidates for our first round opponents. Cray Valley Paper Mills must be one of the oddest sounding First Round qualifiers for many a year! We could be in for derbies v Skelmersdale, FC United of Manchester. McAteer's old boys at Marine are in the draw as are our previous FA Cup opponents Eastleigh. Old lower league opponents Hartlepool and Darlington are also lurking. Its about a 60/40 chance of getting another league side. Blackpool or Wigan would be interesting! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/scores-fixtures Edited October 24, 2020 by paulhanley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great potential for the Step Ladders deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyrotten Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 The draw is at 7pm on BBC. If anyone fancies a TV Cup game with fans, BT Sport got one on tonight with 600 allowed in. Bishops Stortford v St Albans, no less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they played a side from the same level (unlikely) then they'd probably crack on with a crowd. Anything else and I'd expect it to be behind closed doors.

MalcolmW Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 2 hours ago, Casino said: So they can have a crowd on? What if they get through? Clubs below National Leagues North and South are allowed home spectators only. So South Shields v Sunderland would be interesting (as would FCUM v Bolton). Clubs allowed spectators: Skem, Banbury, South Shields, FCUM, Marine, Cray Valley Paper Mills, Canvey Island, Hayes & Yeading, Maldon & Tiptree and Bishops Stortford.

masi 51 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 So Bolton with a 28000 stadium would be allowed no home fans if we drew Cray valley paper mills. Draw them away they could have some home support.............lunatics have taken over the asylum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter desperado Posted October 26, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 26, 2020 I work with a member of the coaching/management team at FC United, he reckons if we drew them away, out of the 600 crowd allowed, we’d be allocated 45 😂. Now that would be a scramble. If we drew them at home, obviously nobody (other than officials). He was saying how disappointing it would be drawing us/one of the big boys like Sunderland away and firstly not having fans there then secondly not maximising the money they would have potentially made.
