Charlton Athletic vs Cray Valley Paper Mills

hmm

a tricky local derby for charlton...

 

[planetgeli]

Gateshead must be delighted. 363 miles to Yeovil.

 

[JimW]

Scarborough through in a bit of an upset so we have the longer trip after all.

A workmate is an Enfield Town fan - they lost 5-2 to Cray in the last preliminary round - gutted that they could have been away to Charlton .

 

[hash tag]

Round 1 kicking off tomorrow. I see Bromley V Blackpool is on televison live at 17.30 BBC2.

 

[JimW]

Scarborough (the Seadogs, apparently) have a 4G pitch so that adds another bit of slip to the banana skin potential.

I'm really looking forward to Sheppey v Walsall tonight. Gonna put me plates up in front of the telly and enjoy a proper non league club having a blast. Crossing my fingers they do the business and go through. Sheppey v Gillingham in round 2 would be a stonker!

 

[stavros]

Are Wrexham the new Man Utd, getting all their Cup games screened?

 

[two sheds]

ITV3 starting 7:00. Is it ever worth watching the preamble to these games? I presume it starts at 8.00

Depends.

How do you do with patronising pish being spouted by pundits and commentators?

Enjoyable first half

The ground's got a burger bar - proper football ground

Just caught the third goal. I hope Sheppeys heads don't drop.
