WHOS GOT WHO THIS SATURDAY??

[CANV EFM]

stafford rangers for us this weekend at home.. they seem to have some injury problems and are on a poor run so its a good a chance as any to get into the 1st round having missed the conf clubs..but you know what the cups like

[Guest]

Home to Hitchin - the third Ryman Premier side in a row.<P>On paper we should win, but as you say - the cup is a funny thing.

[GazzaBTFC]

Tiverton. Apparently they are quite good in the cup.

[Simon BTFC]

Tiverton Tn. Quite optimistic (as is my nature) about this one, Billericay 5 wins in a row (admittedly against poor teams) whilst Tivvy havn't won a league game since 11th sep, and have so far struggled to beat Salisbury (bottom DM prem) and Oxford City in the cup.

My economy doesn't allow me to go back to watch the first round proper if we win, but it would by all means be great if we advanced. Last time was in 98/99, and I think that was the first time we played in the first round proper?

We're away to Harlow of Ryman division 1. On paper we should win so we I expect we probably won't. I thought I'd seen the last of Harlow's ground. I'll have to dig out those binoculars once again.

I don't envy you Bald Eagle, the moon has more atmospher than Harlow.

Hi All - we've got - ermm wait hold on it will come to me in a minute - noo can't recall -noo its gone - sorry!!!<P>I know sad eh but I'll do anything to prolong the fantasy that we aren't.......urgghhhhhhhhhh<P>Good luck Bedford - HONEST - don't lose to the lower classes for gauld sake!<P>And Mr BTFC Norway calling - I thought it was 97/98 you last got there - first time too - ddin't you play that shower from fenland country - beat you 3-1??

[David Holden]

Away to Burton, who have signed Des Walker.<P>Mind you he hasn't played yet this season and will only have one game with his new team on Tuesday.<P>Still it will make it a little harder!

[Guest]

Glad to help BTFC Norway calling, sorry I lost one of your goals - but best of luck Saturday in fact best of luck to you all!! <P><BR>I can afford to be magnamanous I'm off for a ten day work/break in the good old US of A to risk life and limb for my country -I'll think of you all as I learn my decontimination drill - could be of use for the return Eagles trip!!<P>See y'all!!

[Windy]

Mr Irony, you are clearly struggling with your Eagle emotions. One minute you're wishing us well and the next you're talking about decontamination. Go on - give in to your true feelings and admit that you're quite fond of us really, particularly in our current low flying state.<P>It's lucky you are out of the cup if you'll be on the wrong continent for the next round eh? Have a good trip.

[Cressing Toad]

Don't worry about Irony, I'll wish ya well Baldie man. by the way hows me old mate Paul Nicholson? Still seeing every match through his aperture?

Got his video of the Bedford-Billericay match at home, it's one of my favourite videos! Trailing with 3-1 at halftime, and then we win 3-4 at the end! I got two more videos which is almost as impressive, to cup videos, QPR-Newcastle in 1985 (I think), QPR trailing 1-5 at halftime, managing 5-5 and a replay! And from 1994 vs Port Vale, trailing 0-4 at halftime, and 4-4 and fulltime. Won the replay this time, if I remember correct. yes, I'm an old QPR-fan!, still following them, but's it's more fun with Billericay! Tomorrow at this time I'm on the plane to London! <BR>

[CANV EFM]

you want to see our game against the vale!! thats what i call entertainment

[Windy]

As far as I know he's still filming away happily and selling videos for a fiver or so. Making good money from highly entertained away fans so far this season too. At least someone's enjoying it!

[Guest]

Have finally gotten round to signing up for this thing!<P>We welcome Bedford on Saturday as said above, and this really is a game that could go either way and will be very close. Bedford will bring decent support, and the people of Harlow always turn out in numbers for the big games (despite the poor ground), so I'd expect a crowd over a 1000.<P>Is your man with the video camera taping it Eagle?

[Guest]

A little bit of both actually. We started off with our top striker and midfilder on the bench and our lynchpin at the back sitting in the stand. Slough deserved to win, but 4-0 was a very flattering scoreline. We missed a penalty and one-on-one at 0-0. Two of Slough's goals were very dodgy penalty decisions and they scored three of their goals when we wee down to ten men.<P>There was definately an eye on the cup though. You could see our players shying out of tackles and not taking any chances.<P>It's advisable to get there early tomorrow due to the big crowd expected. Not sure how old you are, but there is a beer festival taking place from 11am next to the ground as well. Hooray!

[Windy]

Hello Arlowman,<P>Yes, I would think he will be there. I just hope he remembers his most powerful zoom lens so he can see what's happening.<P>Should be a great game. After being promoted we no doubt feel a bit superior but I doubt there's much difference myself. What happened to Harlow on Tuesday night - resting everyone for the big cup game or just not very good?
