Beveree Chat

Maidstone away on the 14th September

Well that's the most uninspiring and unattractive draw we could, apart from Chelmsford, have ended up with....

Very crap draw.

Couldn't have been much worse than that.

That's easily the worst and most uninspiring draw we could have got. However...they aren't exactly setting the division alight are they?

I can't stand same division draws, especially away from home. Totally removes the excitement of a cup match.

That’s cheered me up no end!

Agree with other comments, from a financial point of view not a good draw. In the club’s current financial position a reasonable cup run would have been most welcome.
Still not all lost, but it will be difficult.

don't we have some of the american investors still backing us - the ones who popped up on that video last Autumn?

I suppose at least there will be a decent attendance (gate money is split 50/50 in the FA Cup). But still a boring fixture, especially when you've just played them away last month in the league.

But then we were rather spoiled last season with cup draws, weren't we...

Do we know if our loan players will be allowed to play. Assume Chelsea would not object but what about Sutton?

I hope Maidstone don't sack Elokobi before we visit them.

They've just lost 5-1 at home to Chelmsford.
