The FA Cup Thread 2015-16

I can imagine why. It's still at the end of a path/lane that runs a fair old while into the middle of nowhere, off the rougher part of Brighton.

They've got two of the old Withdean stands down there now! (behind the goals)

It was out the back of a fairly tough housing estate, if I remember.

Won the replay 1-0 I think

Yeah, there's an estate at the end of the lane. It's pretty rough and I took a cab through there this evening.

Haha, yeah Whitehawk really isn't the lovely end of town at all.


....it's also where Fable lives!

Great win for Eastleigh at the weekend knocking out league opposition.

Hoping they get Pompey tonight and we'll have the winner

If they get Pompey at home, will the police insist on coaching in the away fans? Interesting dilemma regarding the potential for serious trouble at such an encounter.

I'd imagine they would 'bubble' it yeah, was discussing it with a mate last night and you could imagine around 6000+ Pompey fans making their way to Eastleigh regardless of tickets. Plus I'm sure there would be a welcoming party of sorts as well.

Hampshire police must be hoping it doesn't happen as it would be a nightmare to police!

The second round is also set for the 5th December when we are at home to Villa. I am sure it will have to be played on a different day.

Could the police even insist it is played at a different ground given it would be a nightmare to police so close to the M27?

Oh, I wouldn't want us to have to knock out Eastleigh.

Possibly. Don't suggest that though incase they start to look for a decent ground within a few miles of Eastleigh....

Maybe we should have a vote on who we'd rather play in the 3rd round - Eastleigh or Pompey?
Either way is a guaranteed sell out!

After the draw perhaps.?

Seems fair enough

 

[fatletiss]

Draw taking place now.

Looking out for Aldershot as well as Eastleigh.

SKate V Accrington who are they?

 

[fatletiss]

Portsmouth get Accrington Stanley...

 

[fatletiss]

Eastleigh away to Stourbridge ... A chance for them to get to the third round proper.

 

[fatletiss]

SKate V Accrington who are they?

Exactly!

 

[tomw24]

What a chance for Eastleigh!
