To put it into some context, there are over 700 clubs that go into the FA Cup each year.Cray Valley PM had to play eight games just to get to a point to be in the 1st Round draw when you factor in qualifying rounds and replays.The chances of us drawing a club at their level (8th tier) is very small. For it to be the club down the road is pretty remarkable.This game will be a proper one off.31

To add to context CVPM's next fixture after us will be in the league at home to Erith and Belvedere (Sat, 11th Nov).0

Must be the first 'Valley' to play at The Valley.3

I'd quite happily pay a tenner into the CVPM coffers to not have to sit through 90 excruciating mins of watching us against another lower league side in the cup
I'll admit it's a slightly more interesting tie than normal - but only marginally cause they are down the road and I've actually played on their ground
Hope they make as much money as they can from it3 -
No, it will be the replay. ...swords_alive said:To add to context CVPM's next fixture after us will be in the league at home to Erith and Belvedere (Sat, 11th Nov).6 -

Stockport were two tiers down on Cafc whereas Cray Valley Paper mills are 5 levels down if I have done my sums correct as they are in the Isthmian South East division.
League 2, National League, NL south, Isthmian prem, Isthmian SE division.
I would like to see both Leaburn and Kanu in tandem for this match. Daniel Kanu didn't play for Southend so he isn't cup tied.
What is the lowest ranked team we have played in the FA cup in recent memory ?

They're the closest possible opponents from any league - FA Cup covers the top nine tiers - so it's quite something.cafctom said:To put it into some context, there are over 700 clubs that go into the FA Cup each year.Cray Valley PM had to play eight games just to get to a point to be in the 1st Round draw when you factor in qualifying rounds and replays.The chances of us drawing a club at their level (8th tier) is very small.

Turns out Athletic Newham of the Essex Senior League are almost as near as the crow flies - anyone ever been to the Terence McMillan Stadium in Plaistow? - and got knocked out by Tooting & Mitcham in the extra preliminary round. But that doesn't feel quite as close!0 -

Don't think we can recall Kanu just to play in a cup game can we?soapboxsam said:Elthamaddick said:I'd quite happily pay a tenner into the CVPM coffers to not have to sit through 90 excruciating mins of watching us against another lower league side in the cup

He's only on loan for 28-days at the moment.LargeAddick said:

So unless the loan gets extended - He'll be back on Friday 3rd November, the day I imagine, the first FA Cup game gets played1 -
Seen Cray Valley PM play my local side East Grinstead Town a couple of times. Amazingly impressive for them to reach the 1st round again!4

Would expect a bit of a mix and match side for this , few youngsters (maybe a good chance to see Bower and Casey?) and anyone that needs minutes, don't want to see Leaburn,Aneke or May anywhere near the side.

Surely even if we played a mix of reserves and kids it would be enough. I'd like to think we won't need any of the first XI for this, although i'd expect some on the bench just in case.MarcusH26 said:Would expect a bit of a mix and match side for this , few youngsters (maybe a good chance to see Bower and Casey?) and anyone that needs minutes, don't want to see Leaburn,Aneke or May anywhere near the side.

To put it into context... Cray Valley are one level lower than Coalville Town who we beat 4-1 @ the Valley last season in the First Round.0

Yeah I'd expect a fairly young side with a few more experienced players - maybe if Camara is needing mins or something. Maybe something like
AMB
T.Watson Ness Thomas Bower
Camara Anderson Adigun
Rylah Kanu Kirk0 -
Just driven past their ground gave them a chorus of “who are ya?”22

Our U18 side beat CVPM FC 3-2 in a preseason game at Eltham. Surely any mixture of our u18/u21s should be able to do the job.0

Margate v Tottenham 3rd a number of years ago 0-10

Did Margate field a weakened side then?2

Has the same appeal to me as the pizza cup and all that other rubbish - a reserve game that will be as dull as - years ago I may have gone, not now2
