Draw tomorrow.

Cheltenham or Macclesfield - please God no!

Surely there's some shite in there we could beat

Didcot, I reckon we could just probably beat them, probably.

Please, please let it be the piss stains at the County Ground.
With a full squad obviously.

Fuck me, you're a glutton for punishment.

Prefer an non league/lg2 away day but last couple of season haven't gone too well in that respect so anyone we can beat just to make it to the next round.

Oh god it's not time for our annual rolling over and having our belly tickled by a team we really should be shitting on is it?

It's what we've been doing for the last few months actually so maybe this year we might reverse the trend.

Is the draw on telly?

Yep 7pm tomorrow beeb 2 I think

A league one side so we could at least lose with a little dignity.

I remember the days when we were proper giant killers in cup competitions.

This is my wish...

Dignified exit and concentrate on climbing to the dizzy heights of mid table.

We knocked out the holders a couple of seasons back, ok not as great as it sounds I admit

AFC Fylde away

Is that a football team? Or what happens to us after round 1 is played?

Up in Manc that weekend. Anyone away up there would be grand. Altrincham, FC United, Northwich.

I used to work with a bloke who played for AFC Fylde.

I'd settle for any league side....I'm not convinced we'd beat a Conference South outfit.

That is genuinely funny

I'm supposed to be driving to St Ives the day this game is played. So I'd love Plymouth, Yeovil or Exeter away! That'd be very handy indeed.

Its going to be someone very inspiring and lowly, which will mean it will be on TV and they will beat us.

Didcot away would be handy, I could take a wander down with the dog.

We never really get good draws in the first round. Always want a local non league side away or something of that nature. Or somewhere good to go on the piss. Always end up disappointed. Most of the non league sides seem to be northern this year. Basingstoke, Didcot or Forest Green away please.

Do doubt we'll end up with fucking Rochdale or somewhere equally shit. Whitehawk and Wealdstone are both in the draw. NO FAAAANS

I'd sooner the new man be in for a gameor so before the cup or i feel it's another season without the cup run money. Which this season we are desperate for

Shame it will be full of oxford fuckers that will turn up though

Hope your wife doesn't read these forums..

I was at Histon a few years back..... Much rather a league 1 team.

Histon beat Leeds that season and should be remembered accordingly....

Don't sugarcoat it Flash. One of the most abject and abysmal performances I've ever witnessed. We were shite on the day and deservedly beaten.

Singly the most depressing game ever, bar none.

 Rochdale v Swindon

 :suicide:

Ah, the magic of the cup

There ends this seasons interest in any cups.
Not even a good away day.
Meh

Could there be a less inspiring draw. At least we'll be the underdogs.

 Good draw....can make a dignified exit to a team ranked above us in the pyramid, watched that dreading a non league side  :(

Great draw  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

At least we can concentrate on the league if we lose ;)

It'll be nice to do something different.

A low profile draw is just what was needed and we got it.

We were bloody close to FC United away which would been a potential bloody disaster

We won our only previous cup game at Spotland in 1913...we were one of the beter sides in the country back then, mind.

Think geting Dale at home would have been worse atm.

Do we still have Gladwin at that stage? Doubt they'll want to see him again  :hmmm:

Atm he's only here for a month.

but we can extend, right?

Gladwin's last game is this Saturday I believe, unless it is extended and we get permission to play him"

Willing to bet qpr wont let him play in the cup, be surprised if the loan is extended too

Was it a good gate though Reg?

Yes for Spotland, 8000+

Could be worse, poor old Carlisle fans having to get down to Plymouth, is there a longer trip possible?

Carlisle to dover i guess

Fleetingly there was a tie with FGR on the cards. That would have been sweet.

On the flipside our trip to Rochdale could be the hardest tie we face until a big money exit in round 3, 4, 5........ Who dares wins.

We had them a few years back and nicked a win....as things stand every chance of playing them in Div 4 next season.

Anyone going to the FA Youth Cup game at Cheltenham tonight. £5, 7pm kick off. Can we break the Whaddon Road hoodoo?

Blair Sturrock winning goal

Is Gladwin allowed to play Saturday?

He gave them a right rogering last season at their gaff, best performance I witnessed all season, great night

His loan finished last Saturday, seems it will be extended but as for the Cup, that will depend on QPR.

Havent googled but I reckon that would be at least 50 miles shorter.

17 miles more to get to Dover, I did Google it, because I'm a sad act...

Mind you I didn't check on exact locations of grounds.

Interesting, my gut instinct would have would have been like Sutton, Plymuff further.....so it's probably like one of those quiz questions....which is further west Inverness or Plymuff?

Dovers probably faster as you can Mway it all the way. the main road in to Plymouth is a horse track.

The u-18s lost 5-1 at Chel-ten-ham in the FA Youth Cup last night. At least they got a goal; better than the seniors did last year. What is it about that ground???!!!

As things stand it's looking likely we'll be back there next season  :(

I can't be fucked to look... are there any televised matches on Saturday at all?

I can't support this level of laziness.

Boooooooo!

Anyone not going to Rochdale on Saturday but going to Didcot v. Exeter instead?

YES! I use this all the time.

Thanks xxx

Always shocks. Looking for a few for my accy.

I fancy Northampton at 9/2 at Coventry.

Any others?

Swindon at 3/1

3/1 is a great price.

Aldershot 5/1 to beat Bradford.
Aldershot unbeaten in last four matches, Bradford lost their last two.

Salford to beat Notts County 7/2, maybe.

Except when they won their last match

Umm.

Anyone been up to rochdale before? Decent pubs etc

Ah, so they did, I was looking at Blackpool in error.

As you were.

 Great away day. 2 very good pubs right near the ground. Its a cab ride from the station if you're on the train. But that is a treat in itself coming into Rochdale, different planet to most places.

Done Northampton, Eastleigh, Altrincham with Burnley chucked in.

£5 pays out over £1000

A sock drawer? Why not use the floor like everyone else?

I've had a fiver on 19/5 odds, so just under 4/1.

Reading Lingy's recent interview, only Nathan Thompson is unavailable (excluding Jordan Williams and Kevin Stewart from Liverpool), so we should have a decent side out tomorrow, I fancy our chances. Rochdale haven't won any of their last 6 games (but have drawn their last four though).

Fucking snooty bastard..

Gladders not allowed to play is he? I'm hopeful though.decent odds that!

Almost put Luton in instead.  :crash:

Ah, Didcot v. Exeter is today at noon! £10.80 return on the train from Swindon. Rip off GWR.

Leigh Bedwell in goal for Didcot, just conceeded a 2nd, not his fault though.

Forest Green at the piss stains is a good draw, assuming the piss stains can get through.
I really fancy going to this.
