FA Cup 1st Round Draw....

[Minty]

Port Vale at home please.....if Sat is anything to go by. Failing that Crewe away so we can sample the BEST RUBY EVER afterwards in the Passage To India just round the corner from the ground.

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

Would surely have to bee on tv for that, WOW what a draw that'd be

they'd move it to one of the special Sunday slots for the 'TV 8' or the friday night game.

yeah friday would be perfect actually

moved to another temporary home thats older and less attractive than Kidderminsters newer stadium to some players, a lot of players left during the summer meant a new lot came in and needed time to bed in and get going, the wage budget was tightened up as well which meant scratching around for players later in the summer as the bigger budgeted teams snaffled the better targets.

things looked bleak after 8 games in as we hadnt won but then we turned the corner a bit and went unbeaten for 6, but crashed out vs Brackley in the Cup having beaten them away 2-0 in the league only the week before was disappointing. And theyre in the first round so it could so easily have been us again for the 3rd year in a row, a missed opportunity.

yesterday we beat Stalybridge 4-0, theyre relegation fodder this season its looking but we're starting to look like we can play a bit now so maybe next season if the team sticks together things will be brighter again Cup run wise.

Is there any hope of a permanent ground for you then?

that is the million $ question 1973Blade

the latest news on it was put out the other day...

http://www.worcesternews.co.uk/spor...swell_stadium_bid_set_for_December_decision_/

we're not holding our breath on it though, it feels like we're being strung along and the money what we have left will just run out in a few seasons.
There are other noises about moving to Worcester Warriors rugby stadium too but again there's the finances side of it all so who knows.

Who do I want in the first round? I don't think I need to answer that one do I........?

I hope you get the ground your club deserves

Don't ya just now , It's going to be away to , Exeter , Plymouth , Carlise , Newport , or some other far flung hole that'll cost a fucking fortune , Carlise and Newport being 2 of my fav away trips , 1-0 loss and 3-0 win at Carlise , and a 4-0 whipping at Newport , and scrapping with the smoggies playing Swansea away that day .

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Don't smash Westfield up lads, I'm due to claim for me glasses and teeth soon.

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

thank you, fingers crossed...if and when we do then i hope we can follow in Burton's footsteps, they were one of our close-ish rivals for many years and we always used to get bigger gates than them!

 

[anglian blade]

I want to get promoted so we don't have to play in the first round again

 

[BushBlade]

Solihull Moors away for me . The better half's family are all from and still live in Solihull and her cousin plays for them so a great draw for me selfishly , plus I would definitely get a ticket with my paltry 16500 points!
As ever UTB!!!

Watched them on BT couple of weeks ago. Looked like a tidy side. Marcus Bignot seems destined for bigger things. Two or three good young players, Asante, Sterling and Osbourne (I think), who I'd also expect to have league careers.

 

[Damski]

I'd like a London/southern away trip. Like Leyton Orient. I can get there and back on't tube.

 

[1973Blade]

I can only ever remember getting knocked out in Round One when we lost to Altrincham in our Fourth Division Season.

 

[HuddersfieldBlade]

Eastleigh away world be good for me, 10 mins walk from my house, failing that pompey

 

[DaveBassettsgoneonholiday]

A return to Alfreton would be fitting for Wilder. ..... and a ten minute bus journey for me.

I can walk

 

[Lazerblade]

It would be interesting to see the answer to the same question asked to everyone else.

Nah FC Halifax surely?

 

[SB_90]

Wouldnt mind a game like westfields fc from 9th tier away could be hilarious. With the ticket situation. With just a 2000 capacity. But same as every year local non league side away would be good but like every season it will just be some boring uninspiring L1 tie like oldham away

JonnyRed(WCFC) what happened to Worcester knocked out 2nd qualifying rd if im not mistaken

Buses round our way will never make it that far.

don't remind me sheff_blade90 i'm trying to forget about it, 0-3 vs Brackley and we didnt even muster a shot on target!

just means i have to keep reminiscing and playing the Coventry and Scunny videos for another year haha!

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

Have the Blades ever been beaten by a non-league side in a proper game?

 

[Snowman]

their ground is just up the road from Hereford FC's Edgar Street!

Do they do cider?

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

fascist!!

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

Do they do cider?

you might find the odd barrel there!!

 

[Tyler Durden]

Yep

Tottenham Hotspur 1901....

In a fucking FA Cup Final!!

 

[Snowman]

you might find the odd barrel there!!

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.This is Herefordshire is it not? I am expecting cider not commercial pop!

 

[SB_90]

Dont quote me, but i believe the last time we failed to make the 3rd round 34years ago was against Altrincham which must been a non league side as dont believe Altrincham have ever played in the football league

In modern times we once scraped past rushden & diamonds 6-5 on penalties

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.This is Herefordshire is it not? I am expecting cider not commercial pop!

sorry your lordship!!

hmm...well there is the Cider Museum in Hereford worth a visit.

there's this cider local to Hereford as well, but whether it will go down well is another matter...

Yep. That's ok. I am now on the fourth Westons oak aged 2015 Vintage 8.2% which means I will (a) become increasingly belligerent and abusive or (b) disappear from this site temporarily tonight due to becoming comatose or (c) end up as one of those "bye bye and RIP Blades" caused by my own stupidity of drinking too much.

Some great producers in Herefordshire. In particular my favourite Gwatkins. NNx
