Title: Re: FA Cup draw Monday Post by: Tails on Saturday, October 14, 2017, 22:31:41 Wouldn't mind getting one over Eastleigh after last year. Ultimately I'm not too bothered.

Title: Re: FA Cup draw Monday Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, October 15, 2017, 16:23:52 Not many decent local non league ties left TBH, Hereford for old times sake and Pox City for locality and Bath if they get through. Slough and Maidenhead are easy to get to, Boreham Wood would recall memories of 1977 and is an easy tie for Town fans to travel to in comparison to many possible ties.
Add in the bigger local teams like Rovers and the Pox, I would personally prefer an away trip to Yeovil or Exeter as they are close to me. Its going to be Macclesfield or Cheltenham away again isn't it! Shaw Lane Association are the lowest ranked side left in and they are based in Barnsley. Former Town youth keeper Jon Stewart is their no 1. Title: Re: FA Cup draw Monday Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, October 15, 2017, 16:26:22 Full set of number -

National South side so definately winnable, although they have excellent home form with just 1 defeat in 8 games so far there with 6 wins and only 1 draw. We have only played them once before, that was also in the FA cup when we won 1-0 in the 2nd round at the County Ground in 1933 when 10,543 turned up to watch it. Their ground can hold 4,100 (642 seats) they average around 1,100 at home this season so with the pull of a league club and our excellent away following I can see it selling over 3,000 tickets.

Quote Swindon Town will travel to Dartford in the First Round of The FA Cup on Sunday 5th November 2017, it has been confirmed today. Dave Flitcroft's side will take on the National League South outfit in the opening round of the competition with kick-off at 2pm. The tie has been switched to Sunday due to the fact that the game has been selected for live overseas broadcast coverage and it will also form part of BBC Sport's live single camera footage that will be used for extended highlights and the Sunday Final Score show. Ticket details will be confirmed in due course. Title: Re: FA Cup draw Monday Post by: pauld on Friday, October 20, 2017, 14:01:12 f**ing great, can't go to that one then. Bastard bloody telly
