FA Cup 1st Round Draw-Sunday- Shrewsbury at home

[Andy_Porter]

Do you want to go bowling again?

 

Haha maybe they would let us go bowling afterwards this time?! amazing.

 

Looking at the teams left a trip up to manc for FCUM would be brilliant.

A slightly aside point, but talking of local derbies, Hendon vs Met Police. Doesn't get much more local!

 

Lol .... imagine if all police leave was cancelled ... leaving the oinkers without a team and having to forfeit the game

[dune]

Gotta be Met Police away. Wonder what their ground is like...

 

No doubt someone would ruin the day with some anti police chanting.

Thinking about this from an altruistic perspective I ask myself:

 

- to whom would a draw against us at SMS mean the most?

- to which group of fans would a draw at SMS prove most exciting?

- which team would bring a large allocation and a create a "cup final" atmosphere?

- who could we beat quite comfortably?

 

Yes, I hope, in the spirit of giving something back to the less fortunate in the footballing community, that we draw AFC Bournemouth, The Cherries, our local neghbours and many Saints fan's second team, at home in the FA Cup.

[dune]

Away at Corby Town would be good.

 

A trip to Scotland without the travelling and not far for me.

[Window Cleaner]

Bet we get a crap draw, Accrington or Rotherham away,something like that.

[Dazza82]

39 vs 77

[benjii]

ITV can even **** up televising a draw. Stop all this **** and pick the ****ing balls out you ****s.

[Mao Cap]

Come on Dartford or Webfeet away!

[Lighthouse]

Typical ITV sports coverage.

 

Weclome to *insert sporting event*... bulls**t bulls**t bulls**t ... adverts ... recap bulls**t ... Main event.

[Hatch]

24 or 47

[Lighthouse]

At least we're not going to f**king Colchester.

[benjii]

Aww, poor Cherries didn't get a cup final.

[Lighthouse]

Home to Shrews. Pretty good.

[dickyhale]

Southampton V shewsbury Town

[benjii]

At home v Shrewsbury.

 

Play the ressies.

[MarkSFC]

Shrewsbury at home, boring!!

[Saint_clark]

Happy with that.

[bpsaint]

Yawn

[Lighthouse]

Shrewsbury at home, boring!!

 

There is NOTHING in that bag of numbers that excites me. Met Police etc. would have been a good novelty, but seriously... meh.

[Window Cleaner]

and purge any suspensions to boot. Handy

So anyone on 4 cards needs to get one next week, anyone on 3 needs to get 2:??

[Saint Charlie]

Shrewsbury doing well in L2 and will raise their game. Sure NA will pick a strong team!

[Hatch]

when is the draw?

[MarkSFC]

There is NOTHING in that bag of numbers that excites me. Met Police etc. would have been a good novelty, but seriously... meh.

 

Know what you mean but was hoping for an away tie at a very lowly non league team or H&W or Brighton at home!

[Amesbury Saint]

should fill the ground with that draw!

Hope the club price it sensibly

[dune]

It's a good tie for Shrewburys fans. A trip to St Marys is always an experience for fans who don't usually visit top stadiums.

[Shroppie]

Not a pushover. They're my local team and are doing well and playing decent football. We will need a strong team. Being selfish I'm hoping for a replay - just 8 miles away compared with St Mary's which is 200 and I can't get to the first game - England NZ at Twickers that day.

[Chin Strain]

Dover Athletic (A)

 

My place of birth, so would have been good

[dune]

The worst place I've had the mispleasure of visiting to sit and watch football, absolutely no leg room between seats to the side or front so an uncomfortable 90minutes coming up with this one - Hardly a great draw either, would've fancied us at home but the chances of progression must be slim.

WTF?

[S-Clarke]

''Just thought of another point. Could we have our game moved to the Friday, Sunday or Monday as Bournemouth are also at home??''

 

lol

[Matthew Le God]

absolutely no leg room between seats to the side or front

 

Well that part is true about St Mary's. Anyone over 6 foot struggles to sit comfortably, as your knees end up digging into the seat infront. One of the reasons I like Cortese's new stadium idea.

[dune]

I've never noticed a problem. Perhaps you mean anyone over 6 foot and obese struggles to sit comfortably.

[Shropshire Saint]

Excellent draw - I live in Shrewsbury. Good side though - will not be easy.

[The Cat]

Quality draw for me, one of my best mates is a Shrews fan.

[Matthew Le God]

What does weight have to do with length of limbs?

[dune]

What does weight have to do with length of limbs?

 

Because if you've got a fat arse you won't be able to sit as far back in a seat resulting in your knees sticking out further.

[Matthew Le God]

Well I'm far from overweight, 6 foot 1 and I don't have anywhere near enough leg room. My knees dig into the seat infront.

 

I blame Rupert Lowe for making such a stadium!

[Dr Who?]

Have we ever played a none league team in the FA Cup. I was hoping for Cambridge away!!

[Matthew Le God]

Have we ever played a none league team in the FA Cup.

 

You don't need to go back very far to find one...

 

Last season we played non league Luton Town in the 3rd round.

I'm over 6ft and I have no problem with the seats at St Mary's

[norwaysaint]

We should be confident here, Saints almost never go out of cup competitions to teams who, on paper, we should beat easily.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Will not be an easy game - a defo banana skin for this squad.

[tartanowl]

You're not the only ones! I would have liked Sheffield FC but we've got a shocker instead.

Do you think so? Looking at their away record and with your squad and home advantage you should win comfortably.

 

Normally I would say the same about us, but our cup record in recent years has been appalling. I know nothing about Southport. I'm slightly dreading the trip. I bet we lose.

[Verbal]

That did make me laugh.

[SuperMikey]

I'm 6'4 and I have problems sitting comfortably at St Mary's, but I am a bit of a porker as well

[RonManager]

It is true, I find it fcking uncomfortable. If a fat person sits next to me it's unbearable. If 2 fat people arrive, I go home.

 

Perhaps there should be a 'who ate all the pies' stand.
