Mr saint Posted 30 October, 2011 Share Posted 30 October, 2011 With the 1st round draw of the FA Cup taking place today, I feel this would be a good time to reminisce about the days when Southampton were in the hat for round 1. Seem to remember a pretty exciting 2nd half against Bristol Rovers a couple of seasons ago with Connolly getting a couple of goals in a 3-2 victory. Those were the days...

markr27 Posted 30 October, 2011 Share Posted 30 October, 2011 I remember it well - the game was live somewhere in Eastern Europe and we were queuing for a stream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermcpete Posted 30 October, 2011 Share Posted 30 October, 2011 Anyone off to any 1st round games? I'm planning on going to Basingstoke v Brentford, biggest game in 5 years or so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IFHP Posted 30 October, 2011 Share Posted 30 October, 2011 Those were the days... Yes, being so ****e we were in the 1st round draw. At least we never went out untill after the 3rd round in those 2 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky_Mark Posted 30 October, 2011 Share Posted 30 October, 2011 AFC Totton v Bradford (Park Avenue) very good opportunity for a local rising through the leagues club to make round 2 and potentially round 3, what dreamland it would be to have Man United rocking up to Testwood Stadium in round 3, one can dream right?!

sandwichsaint Posted 30 October, 2011 Share Posted 30 October, 2011 AFC Totton v Bradford (Park Avenue) very good opportunity for a local rising through the leagues club to make round 2 and potentially round 3, what dreamland it would be to have Man United rocking up to Testwood Stadium in round 3, one can dream right?! Great draw for Totton, real chance of getting further from here. Dover went out on Saturday so no chance of last year's heroics being repeated; did Aldershot 2-0 in round 1, won 2-0 at Gillingham in round 2 (and against their ex-manager too), and gave a very good account of themselves away at Huddersfield in round 3 in front of 2,500 travelling fans .... happy days.

suewhistle Posted 30 October, 2011 Share Posted 30 October, 2011 If any of you remember Nick Hornby's book Fever Pitch - he describes Maidenhead United against Aveley and 6 minutes of extra time, and I was there!! Knew NH vaguely, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkshire Saint Posted 31 October, 2011 Share Posted 31 October, 2011 Don't remember that story in Fever Pitch but knew that Hornby was from here and mentioned it at other times in the book. Will probably make an appearance at Maidenhead's game at Aldershot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
