A few good matches there I think!

 

Who would we like to get in the 4th Qualifying Round?

Any Kent club, Welling United, Fisher Atletic or Met. Police would be good.

 

I think the draw is on Mon. 16th Oct. at 12pm (around that time). the draw should be on http://www.thefa.com/TheFACup/TheFACup/

 

Who's that team playing Guiseley???

[mikefleet]

the fisher game is live on sky sports

[eufckev]

WAT??? Are you sure?? I don't think so, I've just looked at TV listings.

[Stu M]

Sky are following Fisher in the FA Cup. Typical, really, they're loaded as it is with a moneybags chairman and naturally they attract Sky and make even more money.

[eufckev]

The Fisher game has been moved to a Friday, because Dulwich are playing in the league on saturday, they both ground share.

Why would you want to draw Welling or Fisher, who have a reasonable chance of beating us? Also, consider the potential embarrassment factor of defeat in a Kent derby.

In theory, the ideal draw would be at home against a side near the bottom of their division, hence avoiding a tie against a side lower down the pyramid but near the top of their table and therefore full of confidence (e.g. Boreham Wood last season).

welling,they have to beat hornchurch first and i think you all know that ain't easy down at the stadium of dreams!

Local derby's will make a bigger game with bigger attendances, make more of an atmosphere.

But they wouldn't offer crowds and atmosphere as great as those for a potential first round tie against a League One side, the chances of reaching which would be increased should we play the fourth qualifying round against lower-ranked and more demoralized opposition.

[FleetFanatic]

I agree.

 

Priority wish should be at home to the smallest crappiest side left in it.

 

That'll be Welling then. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[eufckev]

Let's get Met. Police! lol

[Harry J Allstars]

Don't see that happening, Fisher won 6-1.

[Bernard]

Let's not get Fisher then.

[John Pearce]

I presume the 4th. Qualifying round stays regionalised, certainly North and South.

 

In which I case I predict yet another 'banana skin' away tie against the likes of Fisher Athletic, Welling United, AFC Wimbledon, Bedford Town, Bromley, Salisbury, Kings Lynn, Margate or dare I even think about it.....Kettering Town.

[Hempstead Gaz]

Would actually be very happy with a home tie against AFC Wombles - expect a crowd in excess of 3500 for sure.

And Television as well.

[ColtheJock]

A home tie, against a local team would be great, as the crowd would be good, I recall a good game against Dartford a few years back. I think we should be confident whoever we play. :-)

[Fleet boys]

dover are through

[Bernard]

Humorously, Margate were knocked out 2-1 at home to Potters Bar Town. Tonbridge Angels managed to go through, with a 2-1 win at Cheshunt. Dover also went through, winning 3-2 to Heybridge Swifts, with the great Billy Bone bagging a goal. Bromley are also in the next round, winning at Hayes. Welling drew 1-1 at Hornchurch, both teams I'd rather avoid in the draw.

 

Basically, a home tie against Tonbridge or Dover would be ideal, and we'd rather avoid Merthyr Tydfil and Newport Co., because they're fecking miles away.

[Ray ellingham]

It would be sods law to draw one of the Welsh teams as I have planned a weekend in Kent !!!!

[Stu M]

Am I right in thinking Dover are STILL waiting to reach Round One Proper, having never even managed it when they were in the Conference?
