FA Cup 3rd Round Draw Thread

[jrgbfc]

Seen a few comments on twitter about non league clubs been denied replays. Harborough , Oldham been two of them.

As for Heysham, the power station is still standing, wouldn’t say Morecambe would be a good away day for a beer without a few taxi journeys.

In the last round Weston Super Mare drew at Bristol Rovers in 90 minutes and were robbed of a replay, ended up losing after extra time. Obviously a bit of a local derby as well and would have been a big payday for them.

It’s not right is it? Harborough should be getting a home replay now. The National League clubs voted in favour of scrapping replays because they were given a cup competition from the Premier League.

Preston.. i find it bonkers that weve never played them in th FA Cup.

What never? That is really weird.

[houseboy]

I was at that Wimbledon game so many years ago

So was I. Dickie Guy in their goal is still a legend to this day. I have never seen a better gk performance in my life. Did the same against Leeds in the next round although Leeds won the replay.

[dvalley69]

Can understand the replays being scrapped overall, but for the first 2 rounds they should be allowed purely for financial reasons. But I guess that's not possible if it isn't done for the rest of the competition.

[houseboy]

In all likelihood we will get a really tough but unglamorous away game (Brighton, Palace etc.). Or City.

[The Shire Claret]

Guessing you live near there - is the Heysham Power station still standing?

I don’t live near there but know the area well… I do go a few times a year as I prefer it massivley over Blackpool / St Anne’s way and never been to that stadium

Usually nip into Scorton village on the way too

The power station is standing strong … my mum and dad had a caravan at Ocean Edge when I was a kid and used to ride my bike on the outskirts of it and the port

Good times playing around a Nuclear Power Station

It would be interesting to see how teams from the lower leagues have fared after going into extra time overall as well. As well as losing out on the financial bonus of a reply my sense is that most of them get beat in extra time

Interesting point and without knowing I would likely agree with you

It was possible last year.

The reason for scrapping replays is that it isn't convenient for the teams with the biggest squads, and they are teams who play all the reserves anyway. It would be far simpler to have replays as normal but allow teams that don't want a replay, to forfeit the match instead. (Decision to be posted before the game.)

Yeah, I understand that. It still feels somewhat like a contradiction coz if those sides against replays have big squads then surely they can out put a weakened yet competitive side, even if it means playing under 21/23 players, who would still give a lower league side a good game. I'd imagined that the rules must be the same throughout the whoe competition regardless the round, but from what you're saying it wasn't the case last season. Not sure why the Conference and lower league sides have agreed to no replays in these early rounds and accepted some mickey mouse comp.

[NewClaret]

Harrogate, Salford or Accy away please

[ArmchairDetective]

Any of these away would be good for me:

Salford
Bristol Rovers
Accrington
Mansfield
Stockport
Morecambe
Harrogate
Wigan

[mdd2]

I think of the 32 non league clubs who played in the first round, only three are in the draw tonight

[BradTee93]

Somewhere like Harrogate, Dag&Red or Tamworth away would be good

[Andreshotboots]

Whoever we get it will be an excellent opportunity to get some game time into the returning players legs...

[giveusaB]

Bump..
On now BBC2

[RickyBobby]

I thought I had tuned in to watch the draw but apparently I am watching a programme on how great man united and their new manager are.

Said the exact same thing and you didn't agree so I'll try again.

[gsyclaret]

yep, it does my head in

Mind-numbing shoite ,get on with the draw.

[Colburn_Claret]

Meh

[Stonehouse]

Reading

[hoosier-daddy]

Cup draw.

[Stonehouse]

City v Salford.

[Spijed]

Stanley away to Liverpool

[ElectroClaret]

Liverpool v Stanley

[Whitgord]

Good draw for Stanley away to Liverpool.

[ElectroClaret]

Reading

Great chance to progress.

My parents also had a caravan at Ocean Edge when me and my sister were kids.

[hoosier-daddy]

Remove my new post. didn't spot it.

[CleggHall]

…..as in 1964?, one all draw at Elm Park, was student at Reading University at the time.
Clarets won the replay after dirty Dick Spiers wiped out Willie Irvine in the 1st match

[agreenwood]

The 257th draw in a row we’ve been drawn away.

[tally]

Easy tie there for us to win comfortably

[Bosscat]

Remove my new post. didn't spot it.

Should've gone to Spec-Savers Frank

[jedi_master]

Not an exciting draw but you'd think we should be capable of getting through with our 'second string' out, and that is what we hoped for. I am not sure I can be bothered though after the nightmare journey home I had after the 0-0 in 22/23.

[hoosier-daddy]

Easy tie there for us to win comfortably

It's a very nice game. We can't complain with that one.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Get Thompson and Paterson back for the day

[box_of_frogs]

Happy with that

[claretburns]

Some great ties for the lower league clubs, Accy at Liverpool, Morecambe at Chelsea, Bromley at Newcastle, Harrogate at Leeds, Salford at City all big money ties for them and Tamworth at home to Spurs guaranteed to be on TV.

[ElectroClaret]

No, not the most exciting draw, but an excellent chance
to progress.

[fidelcastro]

Stanley away to Liverpool

Who are they?!

[Aclaret]

Stanley away to Liverpool

You can see it now, Liverpool fans saying " Accrington Stanley, who are they "

[jrgbfc]

At least its winnable. Could have been much worse.

[TheOriginalLongsider]

Eggsaccckktlee

[fidelcastro]

Was it about 2011 we played them there in the FA Cup and lost?

I think Sigurdsson, who later went on to play for Spurs scored the goal.

[ElectroClaret]

Who are they?!

You can bet they'll be flogging that ad for all they're worth leading up to the game.

[Goalposts]

So was I. Dickie Guy in their goal is still a legend to this day. I have never seen a better gk performance in my life. Did the same against Leeds in the next round although Leeds won the replay.

Didn’t that actually take 3 replays for Leeds to win i seem to remember

[The Hung Juror]

That’s one of the better third round draws. Prefer a home game, but very winnable.
Brilliant for the smaller clubs. And Manure at the Arsenal. Lol

[fidelcastro]

No doubt.
