    A a number of posters are migrating here, I thought I'd duplicate the remaining rounds of the Road to Wembley here as well as 606 <ok>


    ------


    The Road to Wembley reaches double figures this week-end, with the Fourth Round Proper being the 10th Round of the competition.

    Things are starting to hot up, now that all the competitors have been in action. Thirty Two sides remain in this year’s competition as we go in to Round FOUR.


    Lower league Watch.

    Of the 20 sides from Round Three that played in Rounds One and Two, 11 remain:

    6 from League One
    4 from League Two
    And One, Crawley Town, who joined in the Fourth Qualifying Round.

    Crawley’s reward for dumping out Championship side Derby County is a trip to Plainmoor to face League Two side Torquay Utd. Although they may be disappointed not to have been rewarded with a Premier League side, they will see this match as a realistic opportunity to be the first Non-League side to reach Round Five since Kidderminster in 1994.


    Lower League Breakdown:

    Of 6 League One sides 3 are at home and 3 are away
    Of the 3 home sides, 2 face Premier League and 1 faces League Two opposition.
    Of the 3 away sides, 1 faces Premier League and 2 face Championship opponents

    Of 4 League Two sides 2 are at home and 2 are away
    The home sides face Championship and Blue Square Prem opposition and the away sides face Championship and League One opponents.




    The Road To Wembley so far…..

    BROCTON 4-4 Coleshill Town

    Round THREE

    Wycombe Wanderers 0-1 HEREFORD UTD



    Next up (29/01/11)

    Round FOUR

    Sheffield Wednesday v HEREFORD UTD




    Focus on Sheffield Wednesday:

    The ‘Wednesday’ dates back to when the club initially formed as ‘The Wednesday Cricket Club’ in 1820; Wednesday being the day of the week they played their matches. The football club came into being on 4th September 1867. The idea was to keep the team together and fit during the winter months. The football and cricket teams parted company in 1882, with the cricket club eventually going out of existence in 1925.

    The Owls have lifted the famous trophy three times, but their most recent triumph was way back in 1935. They have also been runners up three times, most recently in 1993.



    Sheffield Wednesday’s Cup Run so far:

    Round ONE
    Southport 2-5 SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY

    Round TWO
    SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 3-2 Northampton Town

    Round THREE
    Bristol City 0-3 SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY



    Last Season:
    In a forgettable season, which ended in relegation to League One, they fell at the first hurdle, going down 2-1 at home to fellow Championship side Crystal Palace in Round Three.



    Random Fact.


    ‘The Wednesday’ originally played in blue and white hoops, rather than stripes

    As always comments are welcome from all supporters, especially those with stories to tell from attending matches in the earlier rounds

    Cheers Rafa! Glad we gave you a laugh. I suppose when a team is getting a kicking from everyone, one needs to let off steam somewhere.

    We only managed one Premier League win against a top half side last season. I can't, for the life of me, remember who it was against though<ghost>

    Some of the clubs are now showing moderators names on their respective boards. I propose that you would be the ideal choice for ours Dev.

    I'd be delighted If I was in a position to do it justice. Unfortunately I'm not online after around 3pm UK time, until the next morning so I wouldn't be able to keep tabs on anything during the evening, which is when I would imagine the bulk of those who would "require attention" come out to play.

    Apart from that, a month of me modding the Pompey board will have WUMs suggesting I change my avatar to

    ...although iif I got hold of one or two of them it would probably be more like http://www.securitycurve.com/wordpr...alek___Exterminate___Campaign_by_DegaSpiv.png

    I am a shift worker unfortunately, working long hours sometimes. I post using my smartphone sometimes, you can probably tell when, by the mistakes! I don't know if I could do what's required, when it was needed, in a hurry.

    I think who we need, is a retired person who posts fairly regularly or, alternatively some one with a long experience on 606 who knows about these things. Can you think of a tactical way we could ask on 606, without upsetting Auntie?

    "SHIFT WORKER" Typo? ;)


    Why not just start as you mean to go on and ban people who take it too far? Sure they can rejoin but people will get the message in the end and if we get the right people we can ignore until a mod comes along?

    <laugh>We used to wear CAPS as well, but they have (thankfully) done away with those.

    I think maybe the site owners want a little help with what you are suggesting.

    You could do the Saints board, as a long term, well respected 606er, why not?

    Meow, i have been contraversial from time to time and have upset a few along the way. I can't tolerate dense people who post crap with such authority that it is clear they are cretins.

    Whoever mods should get on with everyone and be tolerant. In addition the mod musn't put people off joining and those things rule me out.

    I get on with most people and am pretty tolerant I suppose, but I am not really the authoritative type. I guess there is a fine line which the mod has to walk.
