    11:30am for Wealdstone v Wycombe is ridiculous 
    Especially as it doesnt clash with any Premier League games, if its at 12:30
  • Looked on their fan forum.  They are generally of the view it is a winnable but unexciting game given their results v other L1 teams.  One poster seemed to think we would bring 2,000 fans with us - the others put him straight!

    Another watched the highlights of our Southend game and has declared us a long ball team they will be able to cope with fine.
    Which is exactly what we are 
  • Surprised at the Reading game especially. Could understand it if they were away. And AFC Wimbledon v Dagenham is a surprise too. With Walsall’s recent record and going well in League Two and us away and pretty poor in the FA Cup I’m surprised we are not on somewhere.

    Non league teams (even away) are much more of a draw for the neutral than a lg2 v lg1 clash. 
  • Fucking Solihull v Bromley , now that is a proper piss take
  • Fucking Solihull v Bromley , now that is a proper piss take
    Repeat of the National League Play-Off Final from a couple of months ago, can see why it was chosen.
  • They also met in the Vase/Trophy final.
  • For our regular away supporters a Saturday 3pm kick off would be most welcome 

    Wont be on the tv or any streams though if the First Round coverage is anything to go by

    Wimbledon v Daggers is a District Line Derby so good planning for once for an evening kick off.

    Our three strikers scoring at Southend and Leaburn’s return with 3 goals in 2 games probably put the nail in the Walsall game. The chances of an early goal by Charlton probably went up and as soon as that happens the FA cup magic bubble bursts and viewers will switch over to another channel.

    Wouldn’t surprise me if we were the ESPN pick for live coverage (as per the Rovers v WSM game)

    Pretty slim pickings with the rest of the draw 
  • very difficult game at a club doing very well in L2 .. we'll see if Jones & Co take this seriously by the team selected .. i m o a good cup run would do us all a world of good

    Walsall are a very good team at the moment. And they'll look at our porous defence/midfield, and see the chance of scoring against us. 

    Not "romantic" like the games involving non league sides, but I can see this being a good game for the neutral.
  • Following the fantastic performance and electric atmosphere at our first round match against Bolton Wanderers, prices have been FROZEN for the second round and will remain at £10 Adults, £5 Concessions and just £1 for Under 12s.

    11:30am kick off is horrific, that should be nipped in the bud before it becomes something broadcasters try to do more regularly. 
  • Last time for the League Cup game I went on the coach. Back in the day it was hitchhiking would you believe.
    Does anybody know the practicalities of getting the train there and back?

    Bescot Stadium station is outside the stadium. Trains to Birmingham New Street.

    Very straightforward, train from Euston to Birmingham New St, then train to Bescot Stadium Station or Marylebone to Birmingham Moor St then 5 minute walk to Birmingham New St & train to Bescot Stadium Station.
  • Trains are nicer from Marylebone and you don't have to go through the awful experience of Euston

    That's great for us. Fair play to Walsall.
  • Fucking Solihull v Bromley , now that is a proper piss take
    Hardly worlds apart. I remember a few a few years back, we drew Halifax and it was moved to 1230 on Sunday.

    They don't want the Raider tanked up and out of control. Police are scared...

    Late sixties, at least, Charlton would kick off at 11am  (if memory serves me well) on bank holiday home fixtures

    I went to the first match at Walsall and it certainly did kick off. Not seen Bubbles for many years now. I hope he is keeping well. 
    Bubbles now driving us to Walsall for this game along with Johny Welsh.
    I can't believe the same old faces are still going together 50 years after the game we were discussing earlier.

    Harrogate Town v. Gainsborough Trinity (Live on BBC Two)

    Will viewing figures even reach 5 figures for that?
  • Third round matches will take place the weekend of January 11th.

    If we lose to Walsall on Saturday, we would be guaranteed to be playing our league match against Bolton on that date since Walsall also defeated Bolton in the first round.

    If we beat Walsall, the Bolton away game would be rearranged to a midweek later in the season.

    Course it will. Reality TV and all the other nonsense on the box these days proves that people really will watch any old shit that’s broadcast.

    If I were a neutral fan, I’d watch Harrogate v Gainsborough ahead of Walsall v Charlton. It’s just a much more interesting tie.

    Does Gainsborough still have a lady with a big hat?
