As the final qualification round for the FACup is played this weekend, the draw for the first round " proper"takes place this Sunday the 15th, Rovers will be Ball 8 ..already one " shock"in this final round is that of Dagenham and Redbridge falling to Bracknell Town,two leagues below them

We wont be playing Bath City or Weston super mare who were knocked out today.
We must avoid these
Yeovil Town
Hereford
Boreham Wood
But Joey will be happy for us to exit early so we can concentrate on winning the Gloucestershire Senior Cup!
Draw will be interesting

Cray Valley Paper Mills FC please. Preferably away. Losing there would be less of a shock than some of other other recent cup exits. Would be another new ground for me too |

Would be another new ground for me too Think they'd probably have to move the game if drawn home to a League club. Reading that the stadium capacity is 1,000. Originally from St. Paul's Cray (edge of London, between Sidcup and Orpington), now playing in Eltham (Borough of Greenwich). Perhaps Charlton Athletic closest ground? |

That would be a shame. Wouldnt go if at the Valley but it does sound like a very small ground so almost certain to be moved if they draw any EFL club

How about Cray Valley Paper Mills away, would surely make live coverage on TV. Ian Wright Jill Scott giving it large on national TV about the antics of Joesph B***** and the scouse mafia with references to Jordanan & Kuwait owners.
A big money spinner for The club
But probably Portsmouth away and and out out our new fringe players like Daniel Ayala Connor Wickham etc & an early exit to concentrate on keeping us in league one

Wrexham away.
Do we ever get anything up there in living memory?
Nope...?
Then that's my prediction...

We have played Wrexham 42 times, W17, D7 & L18 - Our 3 wins away were 11th September 1963, 10th May 1979 and 10th November 1979. The 4 Drawn games away were 4th December 1971, 27th January 1973, 22nd April 1983 and 25th March 1995. |
