We got East Thurrock or Ebbsfleet away!

[Drover]

Well?whats your thoughts?

[MrFrost]

Bit of a trek

[Metalmicky]

Have they got any decent strikers....

[deebee]

Have we?

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Bit of a mission - maybe a tv game?

[anne honemous]

It's easy to get to Ebbsfleet on the train as it's only a 15-20 minute journey or so from St Pancras.

If the BBC are doing their thing with playing eight games on a Sunday, it's got a very good chance of being selected for one of them or even live on TV.

[glosterred]

rather it had been a home game


COYR

[RedJ]

Shite draw. Massive potential for being a banana skin and it's away.

[Drover]

Fatty Evans going to Shaw Lane,good draw for them.

[MrFrost]

It won't be on TV

Think that might be the TV game, but ours might cop for a switch to the Sunday and/or highlights.

[LincsRover]

It won't be on TV

I think it might be - BBC TV are always looking for upsets and this would be one as a much lower league club against a much higher, struggling team away from home. Us and Mansfield are shoe ins for me as TV games.

[graingrover]

Another trip on Eurostar for me if it is to be Ebsfleet.

[the vicar]

not be many tickets for ether game

Manfield will be one.

Hyde v MK Dons the other.

Were good at Bananas !!

That Shaw lane v Mansfield town game ,is that the Shaw lane aka Shaw lane industrial estate Mansfield because if so I used to work at that industrial estate .

Never clocked a tin pot football team/ ground round there tbh.

[sheffield exile1]

Shaw Lane Barnsley, where the cricket ground is...

Shaw Lane Barnsley, where the cricket ground is...

Thanks for that as I was starting to think that I was working on Shaw lane Mansfield with my eyes shut.

[Bentley Bullet]

Bugger, I was hoping for an easy draw in the first round. 

[wilts rover]

It could have been harder - if Thurrock get through we would only play the East half of them, it would be more difficult against the whole town.

[turnbull for england]

not be many tickets for ether game

At least it will help you sleep...

Shaw Lane Barnsley, where the cricket ground is...

I remember watching Yorkshire get beaten by Combined Universities at Shaw Lane in a one day game back in about 1978.

I think that it is unlikely to be the TV game.   The TV companies prefer to have the tie settled from the previous round to make arrangements with the home side, but it won't be settled until next week.   There are lots of other possible non-league v league ties which already have both clubs settled. 
I think it will most likely be Dartford v Swindon and Boreham Wood v Blackpool plus Luton v Portsmouth.

The replay is tomorrow

Didn't realise that Filo.   It must be the 1st round proper where the replays the following week kick in?
We are still in with a chance of the TV game then!

[retford rover]

East Thurrock secretary is a Rovers fan, and ex rovers player Ryan Kisby went onto play for them.
interesting little facts

[Drover]

Do you mean Ryan Kirby?If so,thats interesting,one of my favourite players at the time,hope we get them now.

[silent majority]

Ebbsfleet it is then.

[GazLaz]

Another trip on Eurostar for me if it is to be Ebsfleet.

I bet you can get there quicker than we can from Doncaster Brian!
