stockportsaint Posted 8 October, 2009 Share Posted 8 October, 2009 Anyone got any idea when the draw is due to be made? I've had a look all over the FA website, but it's pretty appalling for actually finding anything useful. I know the games are played the first weekend of November, just trying to plan ahead a bit.

chrisobee Posted 8 October, 2009 Share Posted 8 October, 2009 Only a guess but as the 4th qualifying round is 24th October I'd say either on the Sunday after any live game or as it always was in the past lunchtime on the Monday. Of course all days/dates/times now are subject to the law that says if they can be changed to cause maximum inconvenience they will be ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saturday Boy Posted 8 October, 2009 Share Posted 8 October, 2009 Yeah, the Fourth qualifying round is being played over the weekend of 24/25th October. In previous years when Sky and the BBC had the TV rights, the draw was made live on Soccer Saturday after 5pm, but I think last year it was live on ITV 1 at Sunday lunchtime. Here are the round by round dates - http://www.thefa.com/TheFACup/FACompetitions/TheFACup/FACupPages/RoundDates2008-09.aspx Here are the ties for the third round qualifying ties, to be played this week with the 24 Blue Square Premier teams joining the fray in Monday's fourth qualifying round draw - http://www.thefa.com/TheFACup/FACompetitions/TheFACup/Fixtures.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikec Posted 8 October, 2009 Share Posted 8 October, 2009 Am going to Bishop's Cleeve v Bath City on Saturday. Can't beat a good FA Cup tie! Agreed. I remember going to an all non-league 1st round tie between Windsor&Eton and Farnborough a few years ago. The fog began to close in a half-time and 10 minutes into the second half you could barely see 20 yards in front in you and the ref had to abandon the game. On the positive side, I did win 3rd prize in the raffle - a box of choccies if I remember rightly. I think an away draw against a non-league side could be a great occasion.

I saw Farnborough knock Windsor & Eton out of this years FA cup a couple of weeks ago. I guess I will have to wait until next year now to see Saints at Stag Meadow.

The9 Posted 8 October, 2009 Share Posted 8 October, 2009 Bromsgrove Rovers v Newport County in Round 1 in 1983-ish was a petrifying experience for someone used to 3rd Division football at the time [and again now ], though strangely Blackpool v Newport County in 2001 (both games, Ormerod scored a hat-trick in the replay) didn't feel anything like as intimidating. That's 80s football for you, I guess. That and whether you're supporting the underdogs or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 8 October, 2009 Share Posted 8 October, 2009 Saints away to Chippenham could be quite embarrassing for me, but could be quite good fun as well. Just need the Bluebirds to beat the Skates Reserves in the 3rd Q Round and it could be on. Adie Mings hosting Saints, never quite sure what his connection was with Saints, but there is one somewhere.

Would be best for everyone if opp ground could only hold 500-1000 fans play at SMS for nominal ticket cost & get 8k-12k There was a habit a few years ago of non league teams wanting to swap to get the money for the gate reciepts etc but that has now changed with an FA ruling that games can only be switched due to the police not allowing the game at the non leagues ground due to safety reasons. Knowing us though, we'll be drawn away to Leeds in the 1st round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyinthesky Posted 8 October, 2009 Share Posted 8 October, 2009 Disappointed that there is no chance of us playing Garforth Town. Thought by now they would be knocking on the door of league 2 on way to the Prem under Simon Clifford!! I remember Saints playing Weymouth, Walton & Hersham and Woking in my earlier days of watching Saints in the FA CUP At one of the ties they played in Light Blue and Dark Blue Quarters (I think) which were the colours of the Hants FA.

spyinthesky Posted 10 October, 2009 Share Posted 10 October, 2009 I was at the Coventry, Southend and Watford Home games The 5-1 win at Div1 (then Prem equivalent) Man City won us the Giant Killers Cup. Derek Reeves scored 4. Think I'm right to remember that we drew 2-2 at watford and lost at home in the replay. I certainly remember Watford had a big old CF by the name of Cliff Holton who gave our defence a hard time. This was a really disappointing result after the euphoria of Man City and a decent run in League 3 (todays League 1) Up in Chocco Boxes for these games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
