FA Cup

[Campsall rover]

Wouldn't bank on it when we played at arsenal a few years ago it was recorded as there lowest attendance ever at the Emirates

I seem to recall that they had another match shortly after that when the record lowest was beaten again.
I can’t remember who against though.
I could be wrong though …… I was once.

Shrewsbury Town hound the following season I think it was.
44.000 v US and 43.000 v ST  not 100% on that.

That’s sounds about right Camps, cheers for that.  Must be crap only getting that many fans in.

I'd love Halifax away, just to see how that stadium's been transformed from the sh*thole it always was years ago.

I've seen it on TV, and it looks totally different nowadays.

Chesterfield, if we lose it wouldn't be a total shock.

Absolutely right ! Wrong way round though lol

[Donnywolf]

I think it hinged on Season Ticket holders at Arsenal and there was a low Gate v Shrews but they had more ST holders to add on

When they played us I am sure they had less StHs due to them having persistent under achieving so when they added them on it came to slightly less

Could be wrong but always stuck in my craw as "unfair" and even if they played Rochdale we would still be record low as AFC will have loads more STHs

I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe ‘non attending’ season ticket holders monies are included too.

Season tickets don't apply to cup games.

Some do. Man U for example insist (or insisted) that buyers of STs had to buy all FLC and FA Cup Tickets if they came up during a Season

I'm no expert but quite possibly other clubs probably follow suit or indeed might have started the "trend" of doing it

[DRNaith]

What number are we?

[DRNaith]

Update: 17

[Chris Black come back]

Kings Lynn at the Eco-Power.

[normal rules]

There’s a banana skin.
Again.

[afro goal machine]

Thats us not making round 2

[normal rules]

Big opportunity to make some dough here.
Away win all day long.
In front of the cameras no doubt. Which pretty much seals it

[glosterred]

Well at least it ain’t Oldham


COYR

[Upton Rover]

Easy win

no chance will it be on live tv especially being at home,too many non league sides drawn at home

[IDM]

I don't for one moment believe we will be selected for live or even extended coverage.  Away maybe, but not at home.

[donnievic]

Top of may league north with one defeat this season should make it easier being at home and a draw anyone would take but not be easy the way we have been playing

[Padge_DRFC]

Third round could play a huge part in the new managers January hope we get there

[Campsall rover]

Decent draw for us.

Home to non league side, can’t really ask for better than that.

[Barmby Rover]

You have to wonder if we can beat Kings Lynn on current form, they tend to win.....

[drfchound]

They will be up for it, their cup final I suppose.

[Monkcaster_Rover]

Banana skin. They'll be bang up for it.

[Bessie Red]

Banana skin. They'll be bang up for it.

Hopefully are new manager will have us bang up for it too!!

[Bollinger]

That’s potentially a tough one. This is the third year running they’ve got through to the first round and not long out of the National League/Conference.

I’m fairly certain we’ve never played a competitive match against them. Can’t think of any player or other connections save for Jason Minett who ended up there after he fell out with Fatty Evans at Boston.

[Highland Rover]

 
  One King's Lynn connection goes back to the early 1950's when ex-Rover Paul Todd became their player manager

Tommy Wright? Around 2001?

Think you’re right about that. Ended up in a coaching role there.

Also…Alex Kiwomya ended up there for a short period.

[foxbat]

Kings Lynn probably fancy their chances at the moment  , but hopefull there will be improvemen  before then.
