FA 4th Q

[The Town Crier]

At home to Flackwell Heath

[Dan Sampford]

[Simon BTFC]

Couldn't have asked for much more than that, we're at home and we've avoided one of the "big boys".

Beat Harrow 1-0 last round

[Andrew Turner]

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes a Home Tie no Coach travel required I do not need to pull my hair out organising a Coach.

 

Flackwell Heath is a good draw but will be no push over as they beat Harrow in the last round at Harrow but a great opportunity to be in the 1st Round proper.

We're not the only jammy sods around then!!

Personally think this is a great draw...One last push and then we are there !! - Come on boys...No slacking please...If this lot have got this far then they sure as hell they will not be mugs...So attack attack attack....And eventually we will score -

[BFR]

I think your boys have got the draw that most teams would have wanted. It means that we from Slough don't have to come to Ricay two saturdays running which is a bit of a blessing. See you later in the season.

[GazzaBTFC]

A great draw for us in terms of missing one of the big boys but it's the FA Cup and we should take nowt for granted.

[Guest]

Good luck lads ... Sheff Wed away in the first round?

[Simon BTFC]

Won't be thinking about the first round until after the Flackwell game. Flackwell will be no push-over, and again they're opposition with nothing to lose. To be perfectly honest we've got 2 big league games coming up before then, we can ill afford to drop much more behind the leaders!

[Simon BTFC]

According to my trusty "Statistical Review of the Ryman League 2003/2004" Flackwell Heath's average league gate last season was 58. Probably won't bring many fans with them then...

[&yB]

Simon, You're a sad old git for having a copy of the Ryman League review to hand at work - mind you as Wycombe W. are away at Darlo that day the travelling ranks might be swelled to two or more come the 30th.

 

The God's may be with us for this round, but for those of you with medium term memories, remember it wasn't a forgone conclusion when we played Camberley in the 4th Qual at Home. Still Belief in your self is what counts and with the right preparation there should be absolutely no reason why we don't make it to Round 1 and that long waited shot at a League side at New Lodge!

[Simon BTFC]

Not actually at work, got a day off...

 

The latest prognosis is that Danny Hockton is targetting that game for his return from injury. He did a bit of jogging on Saturday apparently.

[extaffyjim]

Would agree with the above sentiments. Pretty much the ideal draw with a view to getting through to the 1st round proper, although we definately shouldnt take the result for granted as our opponents tomorrow night will testify. Nevertheless this is a great opportunity for the club, and should we get through to the first round and get a home draw it will be an excellent opportunity to raise the profile of the club. Also i think i should start saving up for a train fare to come home, or to wherever we get drawn. All donations gratefully recieved! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Would be great news if Danny H could make it back for that game, but for now lets concentrate on a possible 6 points in the next 5 days. Come on you Blueeees!

[jl]

I don't think we could have picked this tie out of the hat better ourselves. We have a golden chance to make it to the first round proper for only the second time ever. Of course the oppo must be respected but we should have too much for them - hopefully

 

Ditto the above comments re the league games...We must look to pick up 6 points from our next two games.

[c'mon ricay]

What a great draw pretty much as could as we could have got but the players cant go out there just expecting to win ut im sure they will prepare for this game in a through professional manner. Since Ive gone away unable to get on owing to uni policies and have to say things seem to be moving in a positive direction with Brayely taking some of the goal scoring responsibly of Danny H which means that things look good for the rest of the season. Hopefully I will be able to get to the game at gives me a good reason to stop drinking (as much) and get on with some work

[Guest]

I'm a Crawley Town fan. We met Flackwell Heath away at their place in the 4th Q/F Round a couple of years ago - they are developing quite an FA Cup pedigree!

 

We won comfortably on the day (4-1) and a certain Mr Danny Hockton had a 'mare of a game missing countless sitters - that game will always be remembered by Crawley Fans of the present day for how DH somehow failed to score...!

 

Best Wishes

[Ryan.c]

You'll be pleased to know that Danny has re-discovered his goalscoring touch and has banged in 15 goals from 14 games this season!
