2nd Round draw …..

[Draytonian III]

….. a simple question, when does it take place

[Stewmaiden79]

Tomorrow night.

[Filo]

Oh for the days of huddling around a radio at School dinner time listening to the draw with Ted Croker

[Goole Rover]

Oh for the days of huddling around a radio at School dinner time listening to the draw with Ted Croker

And that announcement in 69 of Liverpool v Doncaster Rovers. Who can remember Tommy Smith’s crunching tackle on Pancho Reagan and the result.

TNT sports 1845 tomorrow.

Great memories listening in the works canteen and the excitement when it came out. A great day out and I said when Smith went down after trying to crouch Pancho, “ It looks like the Anfield Iron has got metal fatigue”. We were in the game for so long dreaming of a replay. We did ourselves proud on and off the pitch that day. I also remember thinking how poor their pitch looked compared to Belle Vue.

Or Emlyn Hughes collapsing after heading a shot, from a free kick?, by Alick off the line
Pancho was like a man possessed that day yet I always thought he was quite nesh for a centre forward back in those days

[Chris Black come back]

Quite a few decent local second round ties are off the agenda - Bradford, York, Notts County, Huddersfield, Lincoln, Harrogate and Rotherham all lost yesterday. Dingles are still in though.

[Smyth]

Peterborough at home please.

[Bristol Red Rover]

A reasonable bag of under 90mins travel options for me - Swindon, WSM, Newport, Cheltenham, Bristol Rovers, Eastleigh away please!

[Pintolager]

A home tie please against lower league opposition, but if we are drawn away, then I want Shrewsbury...a ground I've not been to yet.

[dknward2]

We just need a winnable game so we can get into round 3 and more money into the bank for grant to spend in January if we can get a big draw in round 3 then hopefully Terry can add that to the budget as well

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Ww wouldn't be surprised to see another reunion with Paddy Madden so Accrington next maybe.

So that’s approx 69k if we go out next round, 150k+ if we lose in the third..  not bad - I didn’t realise losing sides got money in the round they get knocked out..

[MachoMadness]

The customary away trip to Oldham is very much on looking at the ball numbers...

[jonny_rover]

39 Port Vale

40 Walsall

[IDM]

When did we last draw Oldham away.?  It did seem a routine occurrence but wasn’t it early 2010s.?

I’m sure I went to one of them, a 2-2 draw if memory serves..

[drfchound]

I’ve have to ask why because of the ball numbers mate?

[IDM]

2007, 2012, 2014, 2016 all away.  2019 at home vs Oldham.

The 2-2 I went to was 2007..

Just meant they are still in the hat, always fills me with dread after all the time I've spent freezing in that away end.

Worth noting players may get a cup bonus paid out of these funds.

Gateshead at Home

[Thorney]

A home tie against the lowest ranked side.

Lets have the best possible chance of progression and more money in the pot and confidence.

[steve@dcfd]

We have drawn Chesterfield away last but one tie         

[scawsby steve]

Wow. A team that pumped us twice last season.
