Title: 2nd Round Draw
Post by: BostonGoals on November 10, 2019, 08:59:17 PM
Is tomorrow at 7pm.

Great to see home draw against Ipswich/Lincoln, Sunderland, Portsmouth. All of those would be TV ties along with Coventry who I imagine would bring a fair few fans along too. Not that many non-league sides left so you would think a home game against most FL sides would likely have some sort of coverage.

Really hope we avoid an away game at Fylde, Dover, Forest Green, Plymouth or Carlisle. Combination of being miles away and quite good, some of the L1 and L2 sides don't really get the same sort of attendances judging from some of the games this weekend. Blackpool looked empty from the highlights.

If you're looking for a winnable tie then either Chichester or Altrincham are the ones.

Away at Maldon and Tiptree would be in keeping with our luck so far!

BostonGoals, bear in mind Altrincham beat York City on Saturday.

Yes absolutely no easy draws, however we did slap them 5-0 earlier on this season, you’d back yourselves to win against them at home.

Sorry Scotty. Still want Gillingham if they can win their replay. It is our destiny...……………….!!!

Imagine getting Altrincham away in the cup and the trophy...

Good for me travelling wise as it's just 16 miles away and I can get there by a combination of bus & tram - end of the line on the Manchester Metrolink is a short walk from Alty's ground.

Mind you it brings back some painful memories anytime I'm in or near Altrincham -  I travelled on that route the two successive the seasons we lost 6-1 and 7-1 !!

yep, I'd say it was almost uncertainty! Either them or Kingstonian away!

No easy ties at this point in the competition with every team desperate to make it into round three. I just want a home tie!!

Someone said to me on Saturday, that the odds are we will get a home tie, because of all the away ties we have had.   The odds are, and always have been evens.

10 away and 6 at home in the league by this coming Saturday (weather permitting).
  4 away and 0 at home in the F A Cup so far.

Spare a thought for Hartlepool FC. Travel all the way to Yeovil only for the game to be called off. Hope we avoid the eventual winners of that one away from home.

Disappointed with that draw. Was hoping for a home tie or even an away that's not the other side of the country would have been ok.

We go away to either places with nothing to fear. We'll be underdogs, but the dog sometimes bite!

An opportunity of revenge against the Welsh or a match against a L1 side: not bad.
Title: Re: 2nd Round Draw
Post by: BostonGoals on November 11, 2019, 07:37:32 PM
Not great, could have been a lot worse away to someone like Dover or Fylde. It's a lot closer that London though.

If Dale get through you would imagine they will be resting most of their first team? Don't want to go to Wrexham again for obvious reasons...

Was anybody actually surprised. I'll live in hope of a home draw in the third round
against a top Premier League side.!!!!!!

To stop any conspiracy theories I actually saw ball 31 rolling around in the dish several
times so that put pays to that.

Anyone know how many consecutive away draws that is in both the trophy and fa cup??

Was in the Pilgrims Lounge with others and there was a lot of groans when we were drawn out. I actually feel we are well capable of at least securing a replay against either team, (that looks the only chance of playing a cup game at home). Come on everyone have faith in the lads they have done us proud up to now and we need to give them our total support like last saturday.  UTP

We may well end up playing away at Wrexham twice in an FA competition since getting a home draw!

Totally agree with you,  this time we are the underdogs and expected to loose.
The pressure is all on them.
Can't wait for the game, against either side.

It was the 2nd round of the FA Cup on 11th Dec 1971 at York Street in front of 4,738 fans that formed the destiny of Neil Warnock.
A journeyman winger who played for eight different clubs, Sheffield-born Warnock instantly recalls the moment when, as a 24-year-old, he first considered management.
"It was Hartlepool, 1972," he says.  "We got beat at Boston in the FA Cup and [manager] Len Ashurst called us all in the next day and started on every player and what he thought of them.  "He got to me and I'll never forget what he said - what we should have done and why we let him down and the club down.
"I knew I could never get to the top. I wasn't good enough. I was a quick, brainless winger.  "I realised the only way I could get to the top was as a manager. I loved talking when I was playing and telling people what to do."

I think he is very good at getting management jobs and then getting sacked and picking up a big fat pay off .
You can never financially loose when managing at his level.

A little unfair, I can’t think of many managers who have seen 7 teams promoted?

More frustrating was that Peterborough was the next ball out.. What a tie that would have been!

Yes probably is in his case, but it's common place in the Premiership and Championship, you fail still get a massive financial reward.

Warnock worked his way up, he didn't start at the top. He started at Trinity!

Apparently worth £12,500 in compensation (TV money) for moving fixture from Saturday to Sunday. Anybody know if this is per team or to be halved between the two teams?
