Sounds like i'll be going. Furthest away trip for me so far (from up t'north)
£85 on the train
Not frightened would just rather not play them. You get no kudos for beating them, it brings in little money and potentially a banana skin leading to embarrassment. We have lost plenty of cup games to teams with a lower league status than ours over the years.We’re frightened of non league teams now?
It’s dominated by the top clubs in the country. Pompey and Wigan are the only two outsiders in the last 30 years
If it was 1972 then Leeds beat Arsenal in the final 1-0.It always has been. The magic is in non league and lower leagues having their Cup Final in the earlier rounds. Like Boreham Wood, Kidderminster and Mansfield yesterday.
I dont support Hereford or Newcastle but I can still remeber the goal that knocked Newcastle out in the early 70's. Who won the cup that year - I havent got a clue?
Nice one mate, ive got a 72 seater due to arrive about 9am. Be good if I we could use it till the next morning?Hello,
Saints fan here. I hope you guys enjoy the tie and the day out.
If any of you need to drive here (particularly if you're taking your family down) I'm more than happy to allow you to use my parking space for free. I live in a small close in the city centre a couple of hundred yards from the ground.
The area around St Marys can be a little rough although I live in the nicer bit the other side. I'm not sure if I'm going myself but I'm happy to meet you here to make sure you know where to go.
I'm not a huge fan of cars to be honest, hence my space doesn't get used much. Unfortunately drivers park all over the place round here too (double yellows, zig zags, pavement the lot), would much rather the space was put to good use on match days to mitigate some of this.
Just drop me a message over the next few weeks but if you're only going to drive from say 50 miles away and there's good public transport, it's probably best you use that unless it's prohibitively expensive.
Does that mean Leamington supporters will be this week?(Phase 1 elites a week today?)
If it was 1972 then Leeds beat Arsenal in the final 1-0.
If it was 1973 then Sunderland beating Leeds 1-0.

BrookingReminds me of one of my favourite football trivia questions:
If Sunderland won the cup in 1979 and Villa won the cup in 1981, who won it in 1980?
Bloody hell 85 quid for the train, cheaper to get a match ticket, petrol and stay overnight in a premier inn
Who the hell would stay in a Premier Inn

You will always get through to the next round assuming you treat it professionally. Then you get a bigger club one stage on with more interest.
Just like Newcastle.
Just like us at Sutton - and I think we were pretty professional that day, but still lost.
Your view is over simplistic. The cup is a game condensed into 90 mins. The better side normally wins but not always.
You are the one who keeps using the term 'scared'. I have said they are oponents that are better avoided - I have already stated several reasons why.I think being scared of the easiest ties on paper is just a bizarre mentality to have. Agree to disagree I suppose
Shares in Travelodge?Who the hell would stay in a Premier Inn
I would. I've stayed in much superior hotels than Premier Inn and had worse roomsWho the hell would stay in a Premier Inn

As long as the sheets are clean and there aren't any short and curlys found. It'll do after a day on the beer.

Thanks J.If people are going to stay at Premier Inn I would recommend staying at one of the new ones. The old one may be closer to the stadium but it's not great to be honest and right on the junction of a very noisy road.
Travelodge is fine though although like Premier Inn, the older one (on the Avenue) suffers from similar issues to the old Premier Inn one above.
A nice place to stay is the Elizabeth House Hotel nearby. Also nothing wrong with staying in Eastleigh and getting the train to and from there if it's cheaper. You're also not far from London Road and Bedford Place for going out which is nice. Maybe have a roast at the cowherds pub too.
If you don't plan on staying out really late you could always stay at the new Village Hotel toward Chandler's Ford, as long as you get the No. 1 bus. It's £1 after 6pm at the moment (until further notice). Mainly if you're driving down as it's a bit of a walk to Eastleigh railway station.

Any chance of a verb?Grendel wouldn’t a lot about a romantic getaway.
Thanks J.
Do you think you'll play your first team?
