Title: FA Cup - Extra Preliminary - Final Post by: Waz1892 on July 07, 2012, 03:49:27 PM I'm thinking about doing the FA Cup - From start to Finish.
Extra Preliminary Draw has been made to be played on the 11th August. Containing 200 Ties. Randomly choose a team, tie, or select my nearest team, then follow the winner from there onwards. Preliminary Round Saturday 25 August 2012 First Round Qualifying Saturday 8 September 2012 Second Round Qualifying Saturday 22 September 2012 Third Round Qualifying Saturday 6 October 2012 Fourth Round Qualifying Saturday 20 October 2012 First Round Proper Saturday 3 November 2012 Second Round Proper Saturday 1 December 2012 Third Round Proper Saturday 5 January 2013 Fourth Round Proper Saturday 26 January 2013 Fifth Round Proper Saturday 16 February 2013 Sixth Round Proper Saturday 9 March 2013 Semi Final Saturday 13 & Sunday 14 April 2013 Final Saturday 11 May 2013 Challenge will be Tickets obviously in the later rounds, but bit of willpower/luck sure its done done plenty of times before. Any experience here?.Any pitfalls I've not thought about? Would do a diary type here for those interested Title: Re: FA Cup - The Full Monty Post by: Graham C on July 07, 2012, 03:51:14 PM Sounds fun, have a great time.
Title: Re: FA Cup - Extra Preliminary - Final Post by: Sheriff Fatman on July 07, 2012, 04:06:46 PM Do you follow a team and watch their games regularly?
One possible pitfall is if your own team has a dream tie to clash with the other game. Could you bear to miss it? Also, you can pretty much guarantee to get a replay at the wrong end of the country on a Tuesday evening. But yes, it does sound like a fun thing to do. Enjoy!

Had thought of this tbh, follow Liverpool, so if we have big tie, probs be on TV, so odds that the team I'm following being on the same day remote-ish. I dont go anywhere near like i used to - ticket issues etc so prob wouldn't have gone anyway. Worth the risk, cross fingers it doesn't come to any major decision.. that or i pick them up in the 3rd rnd...and we go to Wembley together!

Might go again this year Start with my very local team Cranfield United who on 11th August play in the extra prelim for the first time in ten years away at Biggleswade United. Winner is home to Ware Town Winner home to Hitchin Town in R1Q All local to me, so am considering Title: Re: FA Cup - Extra Preliminary - Final Post by: Longy on July 07, 2012, 04:27:18 PM Sounds fun, deffo keep a diary if you do it. We have a fair few football geeks on here who will enjoy it.

(West London)

Title: Re: FA Cup - Extra Preliminary - Final Post by: Waz1892 on July 07, 2012, 07:30:07 PM Got a random draw done-
Tie number 147- Chessington & Hook United vs Warlingham So it's going to be that or the local team Yaxley to start with Title: Re: FA Cup - Extra Preliminary - Final Post by: Graham C on July 07, 2012, 07:57:10 PM oooo, Bracknell have Binfield, that's a very local derby.
