FA trophy 4th Round Draw

So is anyone bothered and watching on this periscope thingy?

GRIMSBY V WOKING

Home draw at least no travelling.

We're going to win this bloody thing whether we like it or not...

Were lucky with all these home draws

Home draw quarter final, lets pack the park  




Just kidding.

May as well win the fukker now.

I like it! home draw, should be a good game UTM

While on about periscope i will be filming both the guisley and halifax away games if anyone fancies watching them

Does anyone know the other fixtures please?

UTM

Cant make guisley zorro so yes that would be good mate.

Woking at home on Tuesday 23 and Sat 27th

Woking away in the league on march 19 is now off as onr of us is playing in the semi final second leg

Good Draw.

tough game, but good competitive match for the fringe players, and if we win, we are in the semi-final and might as well win it

Just add aarongtfc2015 on periscope mate, will be my first broadcast but i have a decent phone so hopefully the quality should be good.

Good draw - not too embarrasing if we lose and a "bigger" club out therefore better chance to win it if we win.

Will do zorro cheers mate.

woking fans not happy with the draw! (good!) we play them twice in 5 days, knock them out and its ours to lose imo

The full draw :-

Nantwich / Stourbridge  v  Dover / Guiseley

Halifax Town / Chester  v  Gateshead

Grimsby  v  Woking

Sutton / Bognor  v  Torquay / Macclesfield

Halifax in the Semi then Dover in the final would probably give us the most cash out of the competition

Quoted from Jarmo.Is.God

Good Draw.

We may actually get to see what the fringe players are made of versus a better side than previous rounds

Or we could go out with a whimper to Nantwich

If the games go to form it could be last 4 of us/Woking, Dover, Macclesfield and Gateshead.  Stronger line-up than in recent years.

I had a look over the weekend into our run of being drawn at home in the cups. In the last four years there have been 24 draws in the two FA competitions this is not including the home and away semi final draws. We have been drawn at home in 20 of them.

That's incredible on a 50/50 chance!

Anybody going to periscope the Bromley game? I'm on nights unfortunately

Sadly am not going to bromley but hopefully someone films it. Cant stand the drama with radio.

Zorro, are you Mr.Rattray in disguise .

Interesting that Town now play Woking twice in 5 days at BP. As I don't imagine Woking playing a weakened side for either game, it will be interesting to see how PH responds for the FAT game. As the rewards (cash prizes) for winning ramp up at each stage now through to the final (after being a meagre £2,500 at each stage so far), I don't see that PH can do anything other than field his strongest available side for both encounters.  

I think he should still give a couple of lads a run out in the cup game (JPP, Henderson, Pearson)

Stourbridge are the team to look out for. Had a cracking season in our league so far, alongside a decent FA Cup run.

They've got Karl Hawley and Justin Richards up top for them.

Wasn't he the lad who helped Carlisle "do" for us in 2005/06 when they got one of the automatic promotion places?

Yep. Him and Bridges up front iirc.

Embarrassment-wise, losing to them would be like losing to Chasetown (but it's the trophy so at least fans of other clubs don't notice)

That's how I see it now. The Trophy probably gives us our best chance of some success this season. And with key players like Pearson and Amond saying how important it is to them as players, the signs seem to be there.

Updated draw here:

1 Nantwich / Stourbridge VS Dover Ath / Guiseley
2 FC Halifax VS Gateshead
3 Grimsby Town VS Woking
4 Bognor Regis Town VS Torquay / Macclesfield

Prices announced for the final double bill of Vase and Trophy by the FA on twitter:

Adults £25, concessions £10 and kids for a quid.

Hopefully in terms of raising cash -
Halifax in the semi finals and Macclesfield in the final.

Think Dover would be best in the final.

That'll be £50 quid total then if you buy a burger.

Quoted from ginnywings

That'll be £50 quid total then if you buy a burger.

And that's if you are a concession.

Quoted from ginnywings

That'll be £50 quid total then if you buy a burger.

I'll only be able to afford the burger if my top scorer bet comes in.

I see what the FA are getting at making it affordable for families etc but making it kids kids for a quid does seem an admittance of tinpottery to me.

Really!  its bums on seats and a great way of allowing kids the experience of a Wembley visit on the cheap so to speak.

Yes they are

Whooppee feckin do da. A day out at the freezing cold half empty Wembley getting ripped off for plastic lager and plastic burgers watching a bunch of failed pros run around in a display of Shiite hit n hope footie in the hope of winning a pointless trophy. I can hardly wait........

Now come on lets not be negative..

Updated draw here:

1 Nantwich  VS Dover Athletic
2 FC Halifax VS Gateshead
3 Grimsby Town VS Woking
4 Bognor Regis Town VS Torquay  

Ours for the taking- double wembley glory........

Be interesting how they ticket the match, whose fans will be behind the goals etc.

I didn't know Hereford were doing so well, top of their league, got nearly 2,500 at home tonight, so if they make the Vase final I would have thought they would take a few.

Whichever game came first would there be a mass (or not quite a mass) walk out by all the fans of the first game when it finished?

Or a mass walk in by the fans of the second game whilst the first hasn't finished.

Would that be the same shiite of hit and hope from the same "failed"  semi pro's you claim to support on a saturday and jump on anyones back on here for not doing the same.

they should do 'tag team'
for example
Hereford and grimsby one side of Wembley
torquay and Darlo the other

all joking aside how the hell they going to decide who goes where? IF I was going I'd be keen to sit with some vocal fans for the fa vase but then I'd want to be with the black and white army for our game

Feckin hell. Talk about a delayed reaction. Comment four days after the original post.even weirder is that you had made a pretty humorous riposte as the very next post . You are one strange, strange person

Win the play off final the week before and this game will be party time.

Now the title is almost out of reach, i think we should take the trophy serious.

get to the final, get the morale up again in the team, and with it not being until after the play-offs, we can't lose the final and struggle with the play-off's !

I'd be happy to win the trophy as the icing on the promotion cake. But that's it
