Draw for first round is on Monday seemingly not on terrestrial TV - bah….
Gasroom tradition surely to say what team you want while secretly knowing it will turn out to be Doncaster (a)….
For me it would be Plymouth Parkway as far as I know the only English team named after a road!) away - watched them reach the first round for the first time yesterday.
Had some scary visits to Col U. I seem to remember a wild eyed young girl frothing at the mouth trying to rip through a wire fence with her bare hands to get to us. I pretended I wasn’t scared, but there was something of the ‘Exorcist’ about her. Another time, a thin blue line of police fought with the apes to stop them getting into our enclosure. Thankfully they kept them at bay. It’s probably nothing like that now.
This sounds like the 2-0 win there in 93/94 when the ref blew up early in added time after a group of home “fans” invaded the pitch and set off for the away end. Two of them, one possibly a woman, got close to us and the shear hatred in their eyes was almost demonic. I think they were wrestled to the ground by the police. One the the scariest moments I have had watching football.
Berkhamsted away for me. I grew up in Ashley Green just across the border in Bucks but drank many beers and went to many parties in Berko as a teen and had a number of friends at Ashlyn’s School. I still visit several times a year and have a fondness for the Rising Sun on the canal.
Oxford City are my second team, and local to home these days. So I’d be very happy in a can’t win/can’t lose kind of way if the mighty Chairboys headed over to Court Place Farm.
