For this match I hope everyone will be able to purchase their own season ticket seat be it in The Arthur, Main Stand before tickets are put on general sale, as a slightly older person I choose to sit in the Main Stand, yesterday was surrounded by a bunch of lads of various nationalities who were not really interested in the match, constantly walking back and forwards, taking selfies and being a f'ing nuisance.

This has to be regarded as a pretty good draw for us surely? We're at home and playing a team that is in the bottom half of the league below us. It won't be easy and we can't afford to be complacent. But at least we're not away to Liverpool. Maybe the odds start to look like we may get a bit closer to Wembley this year. Anyway, we're on a longer Cup run this year, so look on the bright side chaps.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

So, Weds 2nd March it is then. Why on earth are the ties being played mid-week and not on a traditional weekend? Is this more devaluing of the FA Cup?

We beat Stoke on the way to the final in 2016. Good omen perhaps?

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

I would guess that they will be played over 3 nights at staggered kick off times so the TV get to show most of them. I would add I would much rather it being 3pm Saturday Edited by Bexley Eagle (06 Feb 2022 4.02pm)
