FA Cup 1st Round

[Sicknote10]

Draw is on ITV tomorrow at 1pm, my team Woking are in it after beating Hendon today

Southampton or Leeds would be nice...

Shouldn't be too flippant, but the lack of response highlights the general lack of support for lower league football. The magic of the cup started long ago, and certainly before Round 3 when the 'big boys' get involved.

Good luck to Woking, except if you draw Swindon........

What are the chances! I'll be there

My team got the dream tie, Paulton Rovers v Norwich City. jumping round the living room when it came out

Indeed, a wry smile did cross my face when I saw the draw I must confess.

I actually didn't realise you were now Conference South - I always thought of Woking as a solid BSP club. You seem to be having a solid season so far, so do you lot fancy your chances?

I'm toying with the idea of going - I don't get the opportunity to get to many games now, and I don't fancy seeing Leeds again the following week. Should be cheaper than normal tickets I'd have thought as, no disrespect, Woking aren't the biggest draw for us.

We've had a poor few seasons both on and off the pitch, but changes were made in the summer and hopefully things are on the up now, we've got a winning mentality back - and as we've shown in the past, we can beat anybody

I'd imagine we'd agree to prices around £15 if Swindon wanted to drop them to that, can see us taking around 500 fans

Or £12 it seems! Might get a few more go at that price

Most of our fans seem somewhat ambivalent about the whole thing, but can't complain at 12 notes. IMO you have a good chance of getting a result, particularly if we do our usual trick of underestimating supposedly weaker opponents.
