FA Trophy and FA Vase 2018-19 (1 Viewer)

[Gazolba]

For anyone interested in the fortunes of Warwickshire's lesser teams
(I count Coventry as Warwickshire):

FA Trophy:
29/9 Coleshill Town 1 Kidsgrove Athletic 2
27/10 Carlton Town 2 Bedworth United 1.
Despite the fact Bedworth are at level 7 and Carlton level 8.
That pretty much ends any local interest in this competition.
Coventry United were not eligible to enter.

FA Vase:
1/9 Nuneaton Griff 3 Coton Green 1
1/9 Coventry Sphinx 2 Sporting Khalsha 2
1/9 Rugby Borough 3 Malvern Town 2
1/9 Droitwich Spa 2 Coventry United 4
1/9 Boldmere St Michaels 4 GNP Sports (Coventry) 1
1/9 Rugby Town w/o Team Dudley
1/9 Racing Club Warwick 10 Pegasus Juniors 0
1/9 Coventry Copsewood 6 Eccleshall 3
4/9 Sporting Khalsa 3 Coventry Sphinx 0 (replay)
15/9 Coventry Copsewood 1 Hereford Lads Club 2
15/9 Coventry United 2 Atherstone Town 1
15/9 Wellington Amateurs 6 Racing Club Warwick 3
15/9 Brocton 4 Nuneaton Griff 0
15/9 Rugby Borough 0 Bustleholme 2
15/9 Ingles 0 Rugby Town 2
13/10 Boldmere St Michaels 2 Rugby Town 1
14/10 Coventry United 5 Wednesfield 0
----- COVENTRY UNITED ARE THE SOLE WARWICKSHIRE TEAM LEFT -----
3/11 Coventry United vs Boldmere St Michaels

I would give you like if it wasn't for Coventry United being the only team left in.

 

[smileycov]

that boldmere lot like playing our local sides!!

 

[Gazolba]

Coventry United defeated Boldmere St. Michaels 3-0 on 3rd November.
Attendance was 105, which is pathetic support really.
Match report: COVENTRY UNITED F.C. |
They now progress to the FA Vase 3rd round proper on Saturday, December 1st.
They are at home to Hinckley.
They should be favourites to progress as they are level 9 and Hinckley are level 10.
If Coventry United win, they are in the last 32.

 

[Nick]

Who cares?

 

[Gazolba]

Who cares?

I do because it could mean a trip to Wembley for a Coventry team.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Cov United still playing at the BPA aren’t they? 105 fans surelybitd be cheaper to play somewhere else?

Yes, they play at the Butts. I don't know what the rules are for stadiums at their level, but I'm sure there are standards and the Butts meets them.

 

[Covstu]

105 is appalling even for non league surely?

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

No agree there would be standards but would imagine the Butts exceeds them by a mile at that level. Just surprising they want such a large venue (woman’s team play there as well?)

On Dec 1st, Coventry United defeated Hinckley 4-0 at home. Attendance 145.
They are now in the last 32 of the FA Vase.
They play Leicester Nirvana at home on Jan 5th.
If they win, they will be in the final 16.

In the FA Trophy, locally only Leamington are left.
Leamington defeated Witton Albion 2-1 at home in the last round. Attendance 332.
They play Hartlepool at home on Dec 15th.
If they win, they will be in the final 32.

 

[Gazolba]

Dec 15th: Leamington lost to Hartlepool United 0-1 in the FA Trophy.
The most local team left is now Solihull Moors who beat Southport 0-1.

 

[Gazolba]

Jan 5th: Coventry United beat Leicester Nirvana 3-2 in front of 159 spectators to reach the last 16 in the FA Vase.
One more victory puts them in the quarter finals.
They really deserve better support. Many of the tiny clubs remaining got far better attendances.
Remember the final is at Wembley.
The Fifth Round draw will be broadcast on Monday, live via TalkSport at 12.15
Will update this thread when the draw for the next round is decided.

On Jan 12, Solihull Moors are away to Halifax Town in the last 16 of the FA Trophy.

Nobody is bothered about cov United.

 

[Otis]

I am, a bit. I always want all local Coventry clubs to do well in all sports.

 

[Gazolba]

Nobody is bothered about cov United.

Not true. The 159 who attended were.
They have a real chance of getting to Wembley, which CCFC do not.
Better support would help them in their home games.
Here is a link to the match report.
Cov United got the winner in the 93rd minute, scored by a player with the unbeatable name of Antonio Alcaraz-Zamora.
United 3-2 Leicester Nirvana

159? Massive game then.

You get bigger turn outs in Sunday League cup finals.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

What’s their highest season average? Ie were there crowds much bigger around the time city were at Northampton?

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Saw a vid of their winner, ruining the pitch ahead of Cov’s game next Saturday ; )

 

[CJ_covblaze]

They claimed 458 were there the other week for Sphinx’s visit. We counted 150 tops.

 

[Otis]

They claimed 458 were there the other week for Sphinx’s visit. We counted 150 tops.

And was there a person in each of those?

 

[no_loyalty]

And was there a person in each of those?

No, 3.05333333333333 to be precise.

 

[CJ_covblaze]

And was there a person in each of those?

I thought better of you than that Otis. If you’re referring to replica kit it’s shirt or jersey. You buy tops from New Look or Forever 21.

[Covstu]

Where do they play the final out of interest?

 

[scottccfc]

Where do they play the final out of interest?

wembley

 

[Otis]

wembley

Ooh, another trip out to Wembley.

I can buy much fewer train tickets and we can each have 10 seats each in the stadium.

I've heard we can have a whole block each if you really fancy it

 

[Covstu]

Didn’t think it would be worth opening up Wembley! What were previous attendances?

 

[CJ_covblaze]

Didn’t think it would be worth opening up Wembley! What were previous attendances?

31000 last season.

 

[Covstu]

31000 last season.

Wow! Impressive

 

[CJ_covblaze]

Wow! Impressive

It’s a duel game event so you buy for both the Vase and Trophy on the same day. Keep saying I’ll go but never got round to it.

 

[chiefdave]

Attendance was 105, which is pathetic support really.

Weren't they getting more than that when they started out at a lower level or was that BS fed to the Telegraph?

Can't see the point in them playing at the Butts with those sort of crowds.

Yeah, a real chance.

What’s happened there then?
