Re: Theo29's non-league FA Cup competition
For a bit of cross-pollination and boosting entry numbers all round, note Ralfbergs is also running his FA Cup prediction comp (with a twist):

Re: Theo29's non-league FA Cup competition
Not sure of the purpose of the last repost of the list, but I seem to have two teams, including one I never picked.

Re: Theo29's non-league FA Cup competition
to make up for his disappointment at losing TORQUAY to the 'pressed' happy hoppy and HAVANT & WATERLOOVILLE could he please list the teams in round 1 with their owners names to include Yorkshiredragon and HALIFAX ?
That will have lots of gaps to be filled by FISOers by 6th November. (just why are they so reluctant to join in ?)
Whatever gaps there are on 5th November will be filled by a selection of 'pressed' men of my choosing !.

Re: Theo29's non-league FA Cup competition
By the way, I think Stafford Town should be Stratford Town (adopted local team of mine, in the competition proper for the first time… now facing Cotternil’s Shrewsbury! Might have picked them had I realised, but Yeovil probably a better long-term bet…)

Re: Theo29's non-league FA Cup competition
Yeah, Shakespeare’s version… apparently some of the Boston fans thought they were going to east London for a replay last week (not sure how many Stratford fans booked plane tickets to Massachusetts for the original!)

Re: Theo29's non-league FA Cup competition
I am glad the potential international travel did not become an issue but one match is yet to be decided at YATE (Bristol neighbourhood) v DOVER (ferries & white cliffs) next week after problems with the lighting on Tuessday. Good story in the local papers & Google.
forestfans YEOVIL will be the visitors whichever one it is.

Re: Theo29's non-league FA Cup competition
the 1st round draw is complete after Yate beat Dover 1-0. forestfan's Yeovil will be visiting on 6th November and there are 18/19 runners in our small comp.
The ralfbergs FA Cup comp is also having difficulty recruiting. Just how many FISO followers are there out there ?

Re: Theo29's non-league FA Cup competition
Two all-non league ties in Round 2 - Boreham Wood v St. Albans and Kidderminster v Halifax. Only the two home teams of those four have been picked in this competition.

Re: Theo29's non-league FA Cup competition
so the 2nd round draw produces a Hertforshire 'derby' Borehamwood (aka Elstree) vSt Albans & a certain runner in round 3. Possibility of Watford being the opposition for the winner.
Both of these FA Cup comps largely ignored by the FISO faithful !

Re: Theo29's non-league FA Cup competition
Yeovil v Bournemouth
Chelsea v Chesterfield
Kidderminster v Reading
Boreham Wood v Wimbledon
Four non-league clubs in round 3, most for a while?

Re: Theo29's non-league FA Cup competition

A little game for Sportsmeister, forestfan & myself coming up shortly !

Yeovil could not manage it so both sportsmeister & myself reward ourselves with a horse each in the GN £200 sweepstake, now not so far off

BOREHAM WOOD go to Frank's new lot in round 5. Have there been any non-leaguers in round 5 before ?

Re: Theo29's non-league FA Cup competition
Lincoln made the 6th round as a non-league club a few years back I think. A few others have got to this stage.
