FA Cup - Winner Stays on

Placid

Heard some lad on a podcast who did this from prelim qualifiers to the final.

Basically you go watch a game and whoever wins you follow them in the next round.

So 3rd August is Extra Preliminary Round

Probably going start with Thackley vs Frickley Athletic

Placid I’m joining you, I will watch the scores on flashscore each round. As I’m on the IOM will pick a ream geographically close by.

Ossett United v Widnes might not be a bad one.

Travis_Bickle I went to see a game at Ossett United about 15 years ago.
Couldn’t understand why a place I had never heard of, had 2 non-league teams at the same time.
Can understand it with Manchester and Sheffield, but Ossett.🤪

Travis_Bickle Ossett United v Widnes might not be a bad one.

Yeah I might choose one in West Yorkshire who are playing a team outside W Yorks, therefore might be a decent day out for next round if theyre drawn at home.

cordshoes around about 1933 on an Ossett Utd Darts and Dominoes night there was a big fall out. Apparently someone brought in a London Board with the trebles, they voted to use it, the lads who were to become Albion swore allegiance to the Yorkshire Board with no trebles, left that night to form their own club.

cordshoes The old man was from Ossett. Always reckoned that Albion were THE team. Town were upstarts in his eyes.

A mate of mine persuaded me to go watch Ossett United one afternoon, season before last. The proverbial two hours I’ll never get back. One or two decent players, the rest were just fit lads doing their best.

Event further ruined by visiting fans, with their spirit-sapping “We’re Long Eaton United” drone.

Tie 29 for me, Ramsbottom Utd v Stalybridge Celtic.

My brother had terrier show trophies his dog had won at Ramsbottom. Tess won best bitch around 1970.

He sold her to some Gypp err Romany folk, and stole her back because he thought they were mistreating her.

oh so close 47 OJM Black Country Community VS Chasetown

CBIT

I think I’ll go to this.

Mmm could be a good possiblity. Nice market town, can get a direct train from Leeds. Decent away day next leg

I’ve got a choice:

Worcester City VS Walsall Wood
Sporting Club Inkberrow VS Dudley Town

Worcester City has a bar, but the undeniable pull of the sporting giants of Inkberrow may be overwhelming.

I didn’t see that one. I can get there on the bus.

Gresley Rovers v Lichfield City for me, bit of a local derby

Bod

Thought it was up near Dudley. Appears to be across the road from Kings Norton train station.

Dudley Town are playing Inkberrow.
