is today after the Torquay match on BBC1

who do we want??

The Pox??? Rushden?? Harrogate Railway??

for me anyone at home ...

I'll take a home draw against either Pox, or a non-league bunch.

Maybe Chasetown.

Oh, but I think we'll get the winners of the Leeds Hereford game away.

Oxford home or away or Brentford away will be nice.

As long as were home, I don't care to much. Harrogate Home.

someone non-league at home, the players have got a long trip to carlisle on the tuesday so wouldn't want them too knackered.

I want Weymuff away, Yeovil away or Exeter away cos they are local.

I want a non league team away from home or Poxford home or away.

I think we will get Rushden away TBH

somehere easy to get to away and non league.

Weymouth would be ace

oxford away then?

we'll get southend at home.

As fun as it would be to play Oxford, I fancy a jolly without a shed load of Police.

A lovely train journey and mucho beero 8)

Torquay away

Oh yes, that would be my choice of next round ties/ 8)

So we all want Oxford. But we'll get drawn at home against Brentford or Luton.

Its going to be boring, it always is.
My prediction is
36 Carlisle United or Grimsby Town  AWAY

That would be a little bit annoying. And then some.

Seeing the way their playing against Yeovil I don't fancy Torquay  :shock:

Home to Oxford  :D

Yes, change my mind, the last game we want is away to Torquay, pretty awesome for a conference side.

The draw is now jinxed.

Swindon home to Forest Green or Rotherham, good

i can hardly contain my excitement

Home tie, Forest Green or Rotherham.

Shit. Pox out first and us out 3rd.  :evil:

Not too bad a draw FGR or Rotherham at home

Forest  Green away would be ok but we will be playing Rotherham, Still we should get to the 3rd round.

At least we are at home. Would like FGR to win the replay. Should have won today really.

Graffiti that used to be all over the back of the old bus station, "Moss is God" and "Death to Rotherham".

yeah they should. But that's football.

home tie and avoided the bigger teams in the draw, can't ask for a lot more than that.

Good enough FGR would be good due to them being reasonably close and making it a localish derby for them

Shame we weren't drawn one ball earlier would have been Oxford away  :(

Tbh though Gazz i cringed when Oxford were drawn out first. I did not want a trip to the Krapham stadium again. Horrid memories of the last time we went there.

Maybe so but would be good to rekindle the rivalry. Was gutted we were the ball after soapy tit wank

Is a home draw, so no long trips to disturb our league season plus it is against a team we should beat, so all in all not a bad outcome

how disappointing.

we'll have to hope they beat southend and we win ours, and then that we get drawn together in the 3rd round instead now.

That will never happen.

FGR is actually exactly the same distance from Swindon as Poxford is to Swindon and about 5 miles or so closer than Bristol so yes it is a very local derby!

I'm thinking if FGR win their replay we might be the live TV game for the second round.

Correct. Southend will give them a footballing lesson, they are hopless!

Interestingly I did some route checking out of curiousity checking distances from the County Ground to our closest rivals right down to the Blue Square Southern Division.

These are all the distances to teams which are within 45 miles of Swindons County Ground

Bristol City - 42.52 miles
Reading - 40.76 miles
Bristol Rovers - 39.5 miles
Salisbury - 38.42 miles
Bath City - 34.85 miles
Poxford - 32.92 miles
Forest Green - 27.44 miles

I was actually very surprised by that, I have never ever thought of FGR as being our closest rival geographically  :shock:

Cheltenham not on that list either they are 2nd closest i think. It's interesting to see 3 conference teams actually closer in terms of geography than 3 of our rivals in the form of the Bristol teams and Reading.

We may or may not progress, but a home draw against a team we can beat is as good as you can hope for.

Doubtful at home. They usually pick the minnows at home against the league teams. More likely shock factor you see. Hereford v Leeds and Torquay v Yeovil case in point this round.

I suspect the games at Harrogate and Horsham will get picked.

Good draw.
We should beat either of those two at home, then (Fingers crossed) we'll get a high profile match for the 3rd round.

We aint gonna win it, so getting some big money against a top Premiership side is what we should be looking at.........................

. :roll:

chips n ham, glozter and supermarine are below conference south...cheltenham don't exist

Good shout!!

Sorry, read it as Southern League...

Try reading the post you're replying to................................


Fucking retards.

Fuck off cock!

although chelt'num is 29.8 miles apparently.

:mrgreen:

Fight Fight Fight

I'm a pacifist........

Peace and love man........................

Dunno why but I always forget Cheltenham!  :D

Cheltenham is apparently 31.02 miles from the CG  :shock:

Revised list :)

Bristol City - 42.52 miles
Reading - 40.76 miles
Bristol Rovers - 39.5 miles
Salisbury - 38.42 miles
Bath City - 34.85 miles
Poxford - 32.92 miles
Cheltenham - 31.02 miles
Forest Green - 27.44 miles

All mileages are calculated by RAC routeplanner and are done from the County Ground postcode to the postcode supplied by the club for the ground and planned by driving the shortest route.

Chippenham 10 miles
Wootton Bassett 5 miles
Greenbridge MOT 0.2 miles?????????????

How low do you want to go? I know weve got non league rivals now, but Nailsworth village aint ever going to make it into the League. That area is mainly Swindon fans anyway.

Id rather have Rotherham myself. Very happy with a home draw against lower league (not non league) opposition.

You forgot Wycombe  :wink:
