2nd Round Draw
« 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!

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...……………….!!!

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.
The older I get, the earlier it gets late

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.
United we stand..................

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.
