FA Cup 1st Round

[DH84]

Northampton at home.

 

[Super_horns]

Wealdstone away when the last few balls included FCUM, Rochdale, Plymouth, Carlisle, Swindon etc is decent. Not too far away, different scenery etc.

We will probably lose, mind you.

Think Sordell had a spell there on loan..

 

[Shrimpurh]

Can't wait to lose to Southend at home.

0-0 draw replay written all over it

 

[Brox]

The very definition of uninspiring

At least you can look forward to the second round of the cup, imagine what it's like for us!

 

[dedwardp]

Think Sordell had a spell there on loan..

Yep, as did Gavin Massey.

Can't we just sim it?

The Wealdstone Raider will be looking forward to the visit of Colchester.

 

[Crewelad87]

Eastleigh will be tough, they look a good side. Gives us a chance though and its better than a fellow league 1 team.

Chesterfield, Colchester and Barnsley got a chance of being on TV out of the league 1 sides. But Salford vs Notts and Didcott vs Exeter are also right in the mix.

 

[SpireiteDan]

I reckon Salford v Notts County will be the BBC game.

He's on this forum, by the way. His name is Aberstone

 

[Aberstone]

I'm not as handsome as him.

League 1 types, talk to me. 5-4 looking a realistic scoreline?

 

[Alty]

How many are we allowed to take? Although we're utterly, utterly wretched at the moment we'll sell however many tickets you give us as it's a bit of a novelty trip and you have to go via Manchester so lots will go just for the boozing.

Building on the fact we're total toss, your lads should have a decent chance of a scalp as well. Chester weren't far off last season and we're a lot worse this time around.

Ground holds 6,000. I assume we'll give you 2,500 and get close to hitting capacity. The town wakes up a bit for the FA Cup.

I doubt we'll beat you as we're hardly setting the world alight ourselves, albeit that's partly down to all our injuries. Still, let's see.

They have a lot of good players who wouldn't look out of place in L2 sides. However, they just kick the living daylights out of you for 90+ minutes.

Eeep, was expecting you'd give us about 1,000. Unless we bother to win a couple of games before then then I doubt we'll flog as many as 2,500, apathy has totally set in this season.

What's Altrincham like pub-wise? Went for an assessment centre for M&S's graduate scheme earlier this year and it looked a nice little town but there seemed to be a few more swanky restaurants than decent boozers.

If your capacity's back up to 6000 you must've done a lot of safety work,etc 'cos it was barely 3000 a few seasons back.

 

[GFCSludge]

Love Alty and their ground, reminds me of a smaller Priestfield before it got redeveloped

Eh? How far back are you talking?

Season before last we had over 5,000 in the ground for the Conf North playoff final.

 

[Shrimpurh]

Cracking idea

Against guiseley if i recall. Watched the highlights on alty tv. That's what you tube does to you. Click on a video and it takes you somewhere else after..
Enjoyed it too. Was a great atmosphere

 

[East Bank Shot]

Aldershot away, a miles away bananaskin

Looking forward to it, we seem to be able to raise our game against the big sides but our home form this season has been shocking so I expect you to beat us comfortably.
How many do you reckon you'll bring?

 

[Camborne Gills]

More than twice the capacity of your ground I expect

 

[redjed]

You would think that , maybe, just maybe, we would have had a team from the south of the country, but no its Rochdale, getting pissed off with the M6, feels like my second home!

 

[Camborne Gills]

Something you may avoid next season

 

[Ian Richardson]

It's really not. Prepare to get kicked all over the pitch. You'll do well to get out of it with a win and no injuries.

We will role over for Crewe and let them kick our arses. as we should have done for you.
You got beat at your place by my village team, Get over it. Dont hear Wrexham,Bromley,Cheltenham fans saying the same. Bitter bitter non league fan you are

 

[Football Purist]

When we played you at your place in the 90's your limit was just over 3,000.

 

[wiganmudhuts28]

Playing Wigan for the 3rd time already.

Exciting.

at least it will be a decent crowd..

 

[Walkley_Owl]

at least it will be a decent crowd..

Why, you lot going to turn up this time?

 

[wiganmudhuts28]

Why, you lot going to turn up this time?

2k i would say

 

[UTS]

Bizarre that you think Wigan will take 400 more to Gigg Lane for an FA Cup first round game than you did in the league just 2 weeks ago

3/400 at a total guess, one for the southern based fans. Luke Oliver will receive a good reaction, but if he's who we are up against at the back I won't be too worried, as long as we don't play our world famous hoof which would just play into his hands
