FC United Ball number 30 in the draw.

fredthered · 7th November 2010, 11:09

Dunno who everyone else is hoping FC get drawn against.

Personally I'd like a nice draw against a 2nd division team who are struggling a bit.

Lincoln City would be an ace draw.

Selfish reasons Droylsden away walking distance

1406: The draw for the second round of the FA Cup is happening right now. FC United of Manchester face a trip to Brighton or Woking, but more news on the whole draw to follow.

So, Brighton most likely it is.

I was hoping for the same. Got a lot of friends in Lincoln and they are a shite team too. Would have been a good trip.

Bury would have been an interesting one too.

Now it's likely FC will face big United's 1983 FA Cup final opposition. Bizarre.

fredthered · 7th November 2010, 14:35

Hoping like hell its Woking.

Brighton have the most horrendous ground I can imagine. Its simply an athletics track with plastic seating stuck around the sides.

Should we remind them about what a difference Stevie Foster will make

fishfingers15 · 7th November 2010, 14:38

Woking can pull an upset, the second leg between Brighton and Woking is at their home ground?

It's a reasonably big draw, and most possibly it'll be televised. IF FC pull an upset, it will be a joyride from then on.

It wont be moved to Friday or SUnday thats for sure.

900 Only in the away end

Of all the teams left in the competition, FC happen to get drawn against the one with the worst ground, and the best team.

Karma for Rochdale I suppose.

The Flying Potato · 7th November 2010, 14:58

I might try and get tickets if it's Brighton as I only live about an hour away

It could potentially be 1200 Mick. Their ground holds 8k and FC would be entitled to 15%

potentially 1200 but the away end only holds 900 so will have to wait and see
boogie bus double decker already over subscribed

I still think Woking will win the replay, so don't count your chickens yet

You should expect to get family stand + W block which woking were in, I think total capacity 1750, and much better view than the usual away end.

just seen this on a Brighton forum

kps88 · 7th November 2010, 15:50

Ironic that Wimbledon and Dons could face each other.

Indeed. They are also in pretty good form, haven't been beaten since early September. It'll be better if Woking pull an upset, but I doubt it.

Ingham · 7th November 2010, 17:35

looks like I won't be able to make this, £51 return the cheapest as an advance ticket, with the replay not being till the 16th as well as the issue of an allocation its likely to be £65 return for me.

FC radio this time sadly

I hope so... even the beer festival in Brighton isn't enough to counteract the distance and the shit ground.

There will be spaces on coaches. Just go on the fans forum and someone will help

boogie bus double decker was full within 15 mins of the draw with 35 on the reserve list a few more on that and an extra coach will be booked

Tameside still taking bookings and official coach not been announced yet

Ingham · 7th November 2010, 21:01

well a lad based in Luton has said I should be able to buy a ticket to euston and then jib the rest of the way, apparently victoria to preston park isn't supervised and he reckons I'd get away with it

What area do you live in

Ingham · 7th November 2010, 21:38

based in chester, in uni at Bangor but will come home as its 1 hr 20 min less to travel from chester than it is to travel from Bangor

UnitedRoadRed · 7th November 2010, 21:52

If you're getting the train, you'll be pleased to know that the Victoria Line is not running that weekend (assuming you're going Man Picc -> Euston, Victoria -> Brighton). You'll need to get the Northern Line to Embankment then change and get the District or Circle Line to Victoria.

You can go first class on Virgin for just short of £80, standard is £58.

Ingham · 7th November 2010, 21:55

think it was chester-crewe-london euston, tube to victoria, victoria to preston park (which is 15 mins from the ground)

there is another way via London Bridge from Euston I believe, about 20 mins longer than the euston-victoria-preston park route

Brighton win the replay on penalties after the game ended 2-2 after extra time.

fishfingers15 · 17th November 2010, 00:12

I was almost close on the prediction. Cunts won on penalty.
