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

[Dulwich Mishi]

The women's team are away & why do you want to cut Pritchard up

Now edited, never had anything against Larry Pritchard the old Sutton United captain, so no idea how he cropped up in predictive text!
Maybe I was still in FA Cup mode and pretending to copy a certain players old man...

And as for the women’s team playing away... I’m sure they’ll cope without the usual dozen travelling fan then, if the FA Cup is played on the Sunday...

Larry Pritchard. Ex-Sutton United. Never liked them. He also had a spell at Wycombe Wanderers before returning to Sutton, and I never liked them either. Sounds fair enough to me.

Purely for selfish reasons. I want to watch both games that weekend.

Carlisle planted a strong Welling team 4-1 at home a few seasons back, IIRC.

That was a very different Carlisle team, though. The dead hand of Steven "Elvis" Pressley is now on the tiller at Brunton Park and the brown-shoed buffoon has the Cumbrians in an entirely predictable tailspin.

If Hamlet are right up for it with a partisan crowd behind them I can see them progressing.

 

[Moroccan Sunset]

Carlisle lost 2-0 to Northampton tonight. Unfortunate for us I think, because that'll push Pressley closer to the door. Be interesting to see if he's still their manager in 24-hours time.

When realistically are we likely to find out the date and ticket information? I guess we have to await for the BBC have to decide TV games first!?
(not a sentence I ever thought I'd be saying)

Last year we had to wait for Torquay's cup tie to be confirmed, as we were playing Truro at Torquay on the same weekend. I think the live televised games were announced about 3 or 4 days after the draw with the Sunday highlights games a few days later.

The anticipation around the fixture details announcement is going to be greater than the game itself!

 

[Matt The Cab]

I think there are few replays & abandonments which are yet to be completed, which may or may not affect the likelihood of any potential TV coverage, be it main TV, red button radio or that crazy thing they do on a Sunday…. And by that I don’t mean religion.

 

[B.I.G]

The best thing for us is televised game on Friday.

All the replays appear to have been settled last night. It's just the Haringey/Yeovil abandonment outstanding, which isn't due to be played until next Tuesday with the winners at home to Hartlepool. I hope everyone else doesn't have to wait until then for the announcements.

No idea how these TV types operate but surely they won't be hanging around to wait for a likely all-Conference tie or a definite all-non-league one.

Personally I’m hoping for a Friday night full house live under the Champion Hill lights on by BBC1... be so lucky!

why?

 

[cg__]

why?

Pre-drinks down the Hamlet before your big night out in Clapham

 

[all to nah]

why?

Just because B.I.G and Dulwich Mishi do agree in this point?

 

[B.I.G]

why?

A. We get the money as its televised.
B. Under the lights is always better.
C. No children.
D. Hopefully less key janglers.

 

[Al Crane]

Providing they work and don't fail on us during the match!

No Children??

Always hope for less key janglers

 

[B.I.G]

A certain class of people aren't going to bring their Harry or Ed to an FA cup games on the evening, especially if its not online ticketing and EDC hasnt picked them up for them in advance.

 

[B.I.G]

Depends if we are losing or not!

Yeah, but it’s a huge game, so it all gets negated by part-time tossers like you returning...

I'm sure I remember once reading mishi was working class somewhere, could be wrong though?

You are

 

[Jimbob73]

I doubt our floodlights are capable of being good enough to broadcast on TV. Would be brighter if the key janglers had key-ring torches on the fobs.

Wouldn't you just adjust the brightness or contrast......

 

[Jimbob73]

I think its more involved than that especially with HD transmission now. Would be fantastic if it was live though

This could be a valid point. The Friday and Monday night matches might need to be at grounds where the floodlights have a certain lux value.
