FA Cup Round 1 draw

[Johngill]

As I live 7 miles from The Stadium Of Shite that will do nicely.

 

[Trashbat]

Easy, easy, easy.

 

[Wansalarf]

Dover home to Sarpen'.
Probably means they will go through to round two.

 

[Gills 58]

Appalling draw. May be ok normally but new Sunderland manager will want to start well and make an impression.

Worst possible draw imo.

Wĺll not be a money spinner, lucky to get 15,000.

Boll#cks.

The only consolation, if we are entitled to any of it, is that their average home gate is 30,000.

I wonder if their fans go to first round games?

 

[Alderman Barnes]

Do they still share the gate money in the cup?

Gate money is split 50/50 I think

 

[GRSGimmer]

Trying to think of a worse draw or anything positive about it. Sadly I have already concluded that it is total dog shit.

 

[LancsGordoRoad]

Contender for televised (£££) game, i`d have thought.

 

[jokerman]

If we lose 4 : 3 do we still win?

 

[Wansalarf]

Who did Nobbsfleet get? I know it was a home tie for them.

That's a very good point. They always choose the most obvious one, rather than anything interesting. Quids in!

Dover at home to Southend surely has to be on the box. Knowing the BBC though, they will pick Salford.

That really is an interesting tie. How many matches are they showing, anyway?

 

[Lark]

I thought Newport at home was a good draw in the League Cup first round, but then they knocked us out on penalties!
I think whoever we get, it will be difficult, I'm expecting to be underwhelmed.

I was prepared to be disappointed, so In a way, I’m not disappointed!

 

[EagerExile]

Well, we certainly got the "minnow" Evans was hoping for - not

Come to think of it - after all our first round mess-ups against lower teams, we'll probably go and win this one. Or maybe not...

 

[HerrLjunga]

Bollocks, we'll invoke the spirit of 1987 and lose 4-3...?

No Idea for the first round. Three at a guess?

 

[Nobby_66]

No Idea for the first round. Three ata guess?

Might be even more, IIRC they usually really milk it. One Saturday lunchtime with another in the evening. One on Sunday and another Monday night. (?)

Is it not normally two on BBC and two on BT sport.
