Eednud Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Eight weeks since last season’s Final the FA Cup for 2022/23 gets underway this weekend with 416 clubs and 208 ties in the Extra Preliminary Round. 9 games on Friday, 190 on Saturday finishing with 9 on Sunday. Jersey Bulls withdrew prior to the draw being replaced by Hilltop FC. Jersey Bulls trying to avoid a fixture backlog by focusing on promotion and the FA Vase. Only eleven level 10 clubs in the draw with one guaranteed a place in the Preliminary Round as Warminster Town meet Andover New Street. No mention yet of what game BBC will stream, if any. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62283854 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62283858 Fixtures and kick-off times here: https://www.thefa.com/competitions/thefacup/fixtures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I've decided to pick a tie and team at random (using a custom dice rolling app) to cheer for in this round. If the team in question loses I must cheer for the team that beat them in the next round (and so on and so-forth) My 208 sided virtual die has rolled a 185 and then the roll for home vs away will see me cheer for the delightfully named Baffins Milton Rovers in their all-Hampshire struggle with Alton tomorrow night MON THE BAFFINS! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 A few level 10 clubs still in it. Already through are Andover New Street 2-0:away winners over level 10 Warminster Town, Newport (IOW) 3-1 win away to Fleet Town (9), Wincanton Town 6-2 away win at Tadley Calleva (9), Calleva was the name of a nearby Roman settlement and the best result Brixham winning 3-2 away to level 8 Tavistock. Replay for Radford after 1-1 away at Anstey Nomads (9). Shaftesbury (9) v Camberley Town (9) was abandoned due to a serious injury to a Camberley player and Athletic Newham (9) v Sheppey United (8) postponed as pitch unsafe. Biggest win 9-2 for Leighton Town (9) against Baldock Town (9), biggest away win 0-7 Hereford Pegasus (7) v Stourport Swifts (9). If my eyes worked correctly 39 ties ended in draws. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Stiles Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 There's nothing like the early rounds of the FA Cup to confirm exactly what the BBC think of Scottish football as you keep scrolling down through about 7500 qualifying round fixtures to get to the Scottish Championship. Hereford Lads Club, Horsham YMCA, Punjab United and Bemerton Heath Harlequins > Partick, Dundee, Falkirk et al. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care which order the results come in, but I do love the FA cup and checking out all the wee places that get entering. Same with the other countries cups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 In last night’s replays the fan based Bury AFC won their first FA Cup tie defeating Hallam 1-0 at home. Newhaven beat Canterbury City 10-0, the highest score of the round. The postponed game and then abandoned game both ended in draws on Tuesday so replays early next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Marlow vs Thame United chosen for live coverage. Guessing they didn't bother last round what with the Commonwealth Games taking up all the online capacity. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62505186 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 It’s Preliminary Round weekend with 136 ties including one televised as @The Naitch has posted above. Five ties tonight, six on Sunday and the rest tomorrow. Four level 10 clubs involved, Camberley Town (9) v Wincanton Town (10), Westbury United (8) v Andover New Street (10), AFC Stoneham (9) v Newport (IOW) (10) and Shepton Mallet (9) v Brixham (10) all on Saturday. If my count is correct there are 38 all level 9:ties. Don’t bother going to Reading City (9) on Saturday for some nosh as they’re away to Royal Wootton Bassett Town (9) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62476743 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
