Bit of a mission - maybe a tv game?

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.

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

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.

Manfield will be one.

Hyde v MK Dons the other.

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

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

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.

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.

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!
