FA Cup 2014/15 - The Road To Wembley!

[Panda]

The FA Cup draw has been published today, which means it's time to choose Haven's teams for the coming season.

As usual, we will have two teams - one chosen by me and one chosen by Haven members through a poll from those nominated.

This year, it's going to be a clean slate, with all teams in the opening round eligible to be nominated, even if they've been a Haven team in the past.

Make your nominations in this thread from the teams listed in the draw for Round 1 (or the Extra Preliminary Round as the FA insists on calling it).

Meanwhile, the draws for the FA Trophy and FA Vase have been made and for the second year in a row, the 2nd Qualifying Round of the Vase could see Marske United hosting Knaresborough Town!

[Shireblogger]

I nominate Hassocks, so that I can shout "Hassocks" when they get knocked out.

It's on the London to Brighton line so I've been through it many times.

I shall nominate Knaphill as I lived there for ten years and I believe this is their FA Cup debut.  They were also the first team to play a league fixture against Guernsey.

[o]

Has to be Knaresborough Town, first time in the competition in their history, but I do like shouting Hassocks as well!
Cant believe we could get Marske again away in the Vase! Would have been nice to let you come to our gaff this time

[frag]

I nominate Kirby Muxloe, purely because it sounds like a detective.

[Panda]

In true FA Cup style, I've decided to pick my team at random.

I can now reveal Haven's first FA Cup team for 2014/15 is:

FAWLEY

[Paddy]

When are these games being played?

Fancy watching Thetford or Diss

August 16th.

[Mart!n]

I nominate Beckenham Town its where I was born.

[Mic1812]

I nominate Wooten Bassett Town in memory of what that little place achieved with our forces.

St. Andrews for no reason other than the fact I'm watching the highlights of the Open Golf Championship and the link just hit me.

This weekend's fixtures: (position in Mr H's top 1000 in brackets)

AFC Portchester (413) v FAWLEY (780)

KIRBY MUXLOE (501) v Wolverhampton Casuals (558)


If Fawley progress, they will be at home to either Downton or Folland Sports in the next round. Kirby Muxloe will be away to Ellistown & Ibstock United or Studley.

[frag]

Another team to watch is Romsey Town, whose manager, James Phillips, is just 22 years old.

Results according to the FA web site (so probably wrong):

AFC Portchester 2-1 FAWLEY

KIRBY MUXLOE 3-0 Wolverhamption Casuals



Haven's FA Cup teams are now: KIRBY MUXLOE and AFC PORTCHESTER.


In the next round, Kirby Muxloe are away to Ellistown & Ibstock United. AFC Portchester will be at home to Folland Sports.

[Panda]

Meanwhile I watched Marske United beat Billingham Town 7-1 after a goalless first half.

Was on to win £380 on my FA Cup accumulator but got let down by Guisborough Town. b*st*rds.
