Away again
-
only 20 miles away from me- glamour tie
-
Not happy with that. Long journey to South London but we'll give it a go I'm sure
-
Worried about who we will get in the next round.
-
Got to back the boys to get at least a draw there, then replay here for a long journey in midweek.
Also not that many clear TV ties to choose from there.
-
That's what the Daggers said before the weekend.
-
About 6th in their league. I believe they have artificial surface. Ground not spectacular but could affect our standard of play. They will will give it 100% and so we need to as well. Another away tie, I thought I saw the woman pull our ball out of her pocket. Conspiracy theory again.
-
Both teams will fancy their chances. Day out on the train.
-
Did we not play them in the 70s or 80s. I'm sure I went there. Tried looking on Ken's site but can't find it.
-
They have a 3G pitch so no worrying over a waterlogged surface.
-
The Carshalton representative looked distinctly underwhelmed with the mighty Boston Utd .
A lip reader might have interpreted his exclamation as "shit"!
-
A very winnable tie, or a potential banana skin. Looking on their website and they look a big physical side. But we now have the chance, and a good one at that, to put more money in the pot and progress. :) Believe !

Our lads from Harrogate are used to artificial surface and we also train on one so shouldn't present a big problem.
-
Good tie, one we have a massive chance of winning.
They didn't seem to have many home fans on their highlights, so this is a massive chance to go there and take over the ground with our fans.
-
Be nice if the club put some subsidised transport port on through BUSA.
-
would i be right in thinking that the last time we played in the M25 it ended well??
Wasn't our last M25 match a defeat at Dartford?
-

My mate tells me I've gone daft in my old age. He says we did indeed draw them in the fa cup, but we failed to win the replay in the previous round.
-
It's Carshalton Athletic. There's also a Carshalton FC, but they play in a park.
Don't go to the wrong ground!

Should've gone to Specsavers (other companies are available!) the woman was pulling out the Home teams. ;)

Just spoken to a customer from down that neck of the woods.
He says anyone looking for trouble will get it there, its not a very nice part of London. They are not a big club but they'll expect to pull a few local idiots in from the area rather like Peterborough Sports do.
So to any wannabe hooligans jumping on the club bandwagon like they tend to do every few years, be warned, if you go round giving it the Billy Big Bollocks in designer gear and want to get all Green St trust me, you'll find the locals won't tolerate it.
Those who want to go and enjoy the game will be fine, that applies to about 99% of us.

I was down that way for a wedding last weekend and can confirm it's a pretty horrible part of the world. Locals appear to be very unpleasant people. It's weird - you can kinda sense it getting off the train.

Carshalton fan here in peace :-)).....if you find a more welcoming club this season i would be surprised.The Robins strictly enforce the Respect programme run by the FA which gives the opportunity for young people to visit matches without hearing swearing and the nasty side of the game which no supporter wants to hear.......i cannot remember the last time we had crowd trouble @ our ground and if such trouble did occur i would be confident that it would not be initiated by the regular 500 that turn up for home games. With regards to the match if it was at your place then imo its a 80/20 in your favour but as you are aware this truly is a 50/50 game now so may the best team on the day win and i hope any of you travelling down will witness a fab game.

Thanks for that post and good to hear. A couple of us coming by train any pubs nearby you recommend for us.

Is your chairman doing to ban himself after being caught swearing on live telly then?
In all seriousness, I hope it's a great game too. I think the caution stems from the fact we've had some pretty unpleasant experiences at FA Cup games when "non-regular" supporters have shown up. AFC Mansfield springs to mind.
But fingers crossed it all passes off peacefully. I'd take a draw and a replay at home to be honest - will certainly be a tough game.

Are the BBC doing their Sunday programme again this season where they have studio-based 'as it happens' coverage of several games and frequently go over live to the grounds for updates?
If so, might our game be one of those selected for this?
-
Thanks for that post and good to hear. A couple of us coming by train any pubs nearby you recommend for us.
They have a fair selection of beers at the clubhouse but a real ale connoisseurs pub is The Hope only about 10/15 minutes away from the ground.......exit the train station on to West St and turn left ....about a 3 minute walk.Not been there myself for a while as i have moved out of the area but the reviews still say its top notch :-))

So it seems not.
Our game will be on Saturday 9 November at 3.00p.m. as it is not one of the 13 ties selected for TV coverage of one kind or another.

I was also looking at popping in the hope too. Looks like they've got a decent selection in there and very close to the railway station and ground

Barbary - for those of us driving to the game, where’s the best to park ? Is there many spaces at the ground ?
-
Really looking forward to this quite a few people I speak to seem to be going. Nine of us going for a day out. I’m told two BUSA buses and Mick Small one and half so far be good for the club to go into overdrive in the local press to get a few more there. I’d imagine we will have around four hundred to create a great atmosphere

In answer to your question there is a fair sized car park at the ground but with a crowd expected to be possibly double what we normally average say 800/900 turning up latecomers may have to park in the residential areas surrounding the ground.....if you are there pretty early i don't see no problems whereas if you turn up at 2:45 i can

If almost 200 are currently on buses, maybe another coach to come, I'd be quite disappointed with sub 500 Boston
Biggest cup game for years. Lots of people who never usually go are going
-
I'll be there with a couple of others. 463 bus straight to the ground. As a Pilgrim in exile in South West London this is a game not to miss!
See you all in The Hope!

One advantage of playing on their artificial surface is that we will not have the worry of a pitch inspection. Got a feeling not all games in the FA Cup will be played/

The weather forecast is light rain from 1pm and throughout the match so the pitch could be a bit zippy! We need to get the footwear right.

On that note, how much cover is there at the ground?
-
Plenty
1 end open with only a tiny bit of cover
Side terrace covered, quite large
1 end covered. It's aboht 3 or 4 steps deep
And a covered stand which runs a third of the length
-
Will all those traveling on the BUSA buses please get to the ground in good time. Although the official time to depart is 100am if we can all be there earlier as the buses fill we can get off promptly. UTP
-
Got my bus from Bath booked and ready for tomorrow. Getting into Victoria for the 12.25 (possibly 12.40 train if delayed). If anyone is on that train and fancies a pint then that sounds good to me
-

Blimey that's early!

Should be there in good time Go on then 10am.

Any Radio coverage today?

Live on Radio Lincolnshire, so l have been informed.

Hope I can get Radio Lincoln on internet as in Naples Florida

Boston United 2 up thanks to Thanoj's 20 yard free kick and a Shiels header.
-
4-1. Great result. Well done to all the took part - players, staff and THE FANS!!
-
Fabulous Pilgrims! 8)
-
Great performance. Friendly club and people. The gate was 1800 out of that I’ll be amazed if there wasn’t a 1000 Boston supporters. Great atmosphere great performance. Well done Craig at the end of the game the players really did show how much it mattered.
-
Take a bow Craig Elliott, players,fans and most of all Mr Newton and Mr Kempster. £36000 in the bank and the prospect of more to come. Well done to all concerned.
-
Really good performance today. Controlled first half and under the pump a bit second but good subs to bring Rollins on to test them with his pace.
Their fans came out and commented to me how we were 10 times better than Dagenham and that Shiels and Thewlis were class (I thought Thewlis was relatively quiet for him!).
Good set up for that level too.
But last word goes to us as fans. Great turnout. Agree that if there was 1800 there then must be at least 1000 of us as only heard them when they scored. Players and management acknowledged it too and felt like we were there as one.
In the hat on Monday night - Chichester at home for me then if we get through a day out (and pay day) at Man U/Spurs/Liverpool would do me!
-
Well done to the players staff and fans today, now for a money spinning tie in the next round ;D
-
Fricking awesome! Great day out. Nervy second half but the lads were quality throughout. Fans were awesome. Fair play to carshalton they were pacy and had quite a few chances- fans were friendly.
Second round here we come!

Absolutely right Dave. Just consider this though, If Carshalton had won the £36000 plus what they had already earned would have given them around £70000 plus, that would have set them up for years to come. As it is it is us that have won that amount so it will just about cover this seasons rent. So yes we should be applauding David and Neil and thanking them for our very existence and enabling us to enjoy some fantastic moments. UTP

Mel bang on. Just got home after an amazing day out with mates and seeing so many die hard fans their must have been more away support than I have seen for many years. Credit to Carlshalton and stewards bar staff etc and their fans quality for a community club but today was the reward for a top chairman and manager for the long game. Look at Craig’s video he is so chuffed and so he and the players should be as the the support to day was nothing but class from the beginning to the end. Lot of pride tonight. But always say it the neg heads never post when we do well. Shame on you As today even the home fans were recording the amazing support as they have never seen anything like it. Last word to the Hope Pub thank you for hospitality quality.

Great result , not often I can relate to the tension and excitement of games by listening to the radio , but yesterday Mark Hone and Dale Storey on BBC Lincs did a great job really felt the atmosphere in my armchair at Boston . Too much negativity as well Mel , Lets get a good draw on Monday and me can think of the "big boys " at YS for a great finale .
Your Carshallton cash flow projection was slightly overstated Mel, 70K even at most clubs at our level would hardly pay the wages and day to day running costs for a couple of months . which puts into prospective the huge financial contribution of Chestnuts .
-
Posted today, as after yesterday's exertion I went straight to bed.
What can I say that has not already been said? Well done to everybody from the chairman down. Well done to us the fans. A neutral would have found it hard to guess who was at home.
Am I right in thinking we are the lowest ranked club on merit into the 2nd round? ( excluding the bye and replays). I am sure someone will have the answer :D

Landed at heathrow Saturday at 6am from Washington DC, 3 trains to peterborough by 1030. Collect my lad, 2 trains back down to Carshalton, 2 trains back up. Proper tired after 24hrs no sleep, but was it worth it. 110% UTP.

Light Weight! Seriously Prof great support that.

Lovely to see us headlined in NLP and a very good match report to boot. UTP

well done on winning yesterday 4-1 was flattering but you were the best team on the day.I did warn you Carshalton are a very friendly club and i hope you were all well fed and watered which was tribute to the club who do not get 1800 week in week out.....let me know if The Hope is still as good as i remember it :-)) good luck in the rest of the competition i hope you can make it to the magical 3rd round draw
-
Thanks barb found the hope to be every bit as good as yoiur recommendation.
-
Thanks Barbary, agree 4-1 flattered us slightly, you gave It a good go second half, got a nice set up there and tidy ground, big shout out for the lasses serving pints in club house, was packed in there but waiting time was minimal, enjoyed the day at a very welcoming club, best of luck for rest of season.
-
The hope was so good I stayed until 9pm and missed my train back to Birmingham!
Ended up staying with dad who booked hotel!

Do we get any money for being on the fa cup highlights programme ?

Only if pre-selected for extended highlights.
-
Just to echo what others have said, the Hope was great so thanks for the tip Barbary. The Carshalton fans were friendly, we were at the end we were attacking in the first half with home fans mainly standing around us and we didn't get any grief at all when we celebrated. And not only did 4-1 flatter us, I'm not sure 3-1 wouldn't have done!
Good luck to Carshalton for the rest of the season...

Very friendly people and a great away day win :police:
Let's have a home game next 8)
