Braintree. Urgh of the highest order.

by comrade powell Mon Oct 12, 2015 11:26 am

So Thurrock, Bodmin, Harlow, and now possibly Braintree all away.

No luck but a tie we can get through.

by pete mac Mon Oct 12, 2015 11:31 am

Important to win tomorrow, bank the money and then travel and have a go.........

Another long drive. When they pulled out the Margate home ball I was half expecting us to follow.

9th in the Conference at the moment ahead of some much-fancied teams. I expect Harlow will be up for it tomorrow, chance of an Essex derby and that.

As well as that it could be a pain trying to cover it for the radio as they charged journalists to get in when we played there before. They're not quite on Dover's level of customer service but that is weird.

Of their 7 wins, only 2 have been at home where they've already lost 3 times.
But as Junior says, Harlow will be more motivated than us by this dreadful draw.

This competition has been an absolute shambles for me.

by stillmanjunior Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:29 pm

I'm expecting in the trophy one I'll predict us to play Chelmsford and we'll end up being drawn away to someone in New Zealand.

by James C Mon Oct 12, 2015 5:46 pm

Oh no didn't realise the draw was still regionalised at this stage! The last few clubs to be drawn out of the hat included us, Cheltenham, Weston and Chippenham and look who we got

by the demon headmaster Mon Oct 12, 2015 11:10 pm

Just think of all those home draws we're going to get in the trophy!

by the demon headmaster Mon Oct 12, 2015 11:11 pm

I'm also disappointed that there are no bonus points for getting the first letter of the team we play right.

by kermit Tue Oct 13, 2015 12:04 pm

It's bound to be away to Guernsey in the Trophy Smile

Handy for me.

by comrade powell Sat Nov 14, 2015 8:32 pm

Right, we're in the Trophy draw on Monday so it's time to restart this fine compo!

We're bound to be somewhere in Essex, so I'm going for Concord.
