FA Cup First Round Proper draw - Dulwich Hamlet vs Carlisle United, Fri 8th Nov 2019

Brilliant Carlise at home they have some really nice fans, may even make the tv? was in a pub
in Crawley with them when the game got postponed and been there a few times, well good luck :)
 
That's a great draw in my book. There must be a good chance of being chosen for live television coverage as it will look like an obvious potential upset for the neutral. Carlisle fifth from bottom of the Football League and their away form looks quite poor with a couple of odd goal wins and a lot of defeats. (Although I haven't scrutinised the rest of the draw for similar ties.)

Possible replay away on Tuesday 19 November!
 
Winnable tie at home!

I reckon with a concerted effort we could get it out there that we believe we have no chance of winning and all Carlisle have to do is turn up to progress to the next round...

Plucky Hamlet just happy to have a few minutes in the spotlight and all that...
 
That's an interesting draw. The presenter picked it out as one of the highlights in the recap so it may be a candidate for TV.

Before anyone schedules their other commitments, bear in mind that about a dozen matches in this round get scheduled for the Sunday to provide a highlights package, so even if our match isn't chosen for live television coverage it may not be played on the Saturday afternoon. The match dates aren't normally finalised for several days after the draw.

Even if we are just one of the "highlights" games on the Sunday, that is £12k extra.
 
Might need to rethink my earlier comment above that we could entice Carlisle into a false sense of security, most of their fans seem to think this is a surefire banana skin for them.

(unless, of course, this is a concerted effort by Carlisle fans to lull Dulwich into a false sense of security etc etc)

Fellow Scottish football fans will note that Carlisle are managed by Steven Pressley, but there's a decent chance he might not be in charge by the time the tie comes round...
 
Re: TV.

I can’t find anything that says definitively how many games are picked for full coverage. Based on last season I am assuming four as there are five different kick off times (but one is 3pm Saturday). 2018–19 FA Cup - Wikipedia

If it is four, then the ordering of this article might suggest we will make it FA Cup first round draw: Eighth-tier Chichester City receive bye to second round but only if they go exclusively for four lower League banana skin ties. We might miss out if they want to include one or two ties between bigger teams - eg Sunderland vs Gillingham. We can probably expect the Sunday 1245pm slot though. Which will be a shame as that’s a hard time to be enthusiastic about being pissed.

The sad thing to note though in all the tv chat is that I’ve not seen anyone - myself included - go “There’s no way they’ll move the Hamlet game to a tv slot and quite right too, because it’s one of the longest trips in the draw and it would hugely inconvenience the travelling away fans who should be one of the most important considerations”.

I like that you've included Gillingham as a bigger team. :D

Good point. There's no excuse to pick that for the Friday, or worse still Monday, live game.

Harrogate v Portsmouth looks nailed on for live coverage to me. Probably Chippenham v Northampton too. I'm sure they always go for a boring one with two Third Division clubs, so Sunderland v Gillingham is a good bet. There are four matchdays and I'm sure there are two live games on at least one day, so 5 or possibly 6 in total.
 
What a great day against an historic club - must dig out the old Soccer Star cards from the 1970's and see Carlisle in their full glory (certainly better than Southport)

Should be an amazing game and from early interactions looks like their fans are up for a good game and friendly craic - just a shame about the FA booze ban pitch side

(Then again Carlisle has the unique history of "nationalised" pubs for a period during the First World War.)

With their poor away form and our up and down seasons should be evenly matched

One wish would be that we can still change ends at half time - would be so good to stay loyal to our roots - but practicalities will no doubt make it difficult

Long range weather forecast saying mild but overcast (no rain sussh)

Just one plea to Carlisle reporters - please, please no hipster nonsense - were a proud club, building our support through our Community - passionate about football and our community, hate bigotry

Reality check!
FA Cup Proper against a league team!
 
Chichester, lowest ranked team left, who got a bye and therefore £36K guaranteed prize money, have announced they will be making 'an appropriate donation to the continuation of Bury F.C'.

Class.

An appropriate amount for Chichester would be a £0 contribution to this fund.
 
Another Hamlet-Carlisle link to add to Jimmy Glass...Jeffrey Monakana also played for Carlisle (1 match!) back in 2015.
 
Probably but I'd wait for confirmation as the rules were tweaked this season. Doubt that will apply to the competition proper though.

Also, presumably the clubhouse will be home fans only if the match is segregated.
 
Double header? Great way to promote the women’s game. Last year Sunday FA Cup kick offs were 1245. Could the women’s game start at 1600?

Given that we're away to Dartford on that day, I'm not sure how they'd feel about switching the game to Champion Hill...

Are you sure??? You’ll get the same crowd as usual for the women’s game!
At least an hour to clear the changing rooms, how would you take a gate for the women’s game?
If we were to create an upset I want to celebrate not have to watch another match!
And factor in if it’s raining & the pitch cuts up? Two games in a day!
This suggestion is pure Urban forum!:D
