Stones v the fleet and the flamingos v the angels big matches.3

we'll probably get Cray Wanderers at Flamingo Park1

For reference... the lowest clubs (beyond the National League) are:
Level 9: Bury - Shifnal Town (TBC)
Level 8: Gorleston - Biggleswade - Hednesford Town (TBC) - Haringey Borough (TBC) - Margate (TBC) - Bishop's Cleeve (TBC)
Level 7: 12-confirmed sides | 7-possible sides

My Local team Biggleswade Town drew Spennymoor Town at home and that's if we beat Alfreton at home which was called off because the pitch is underwater. Can't see that going ahead tomorrow night either.0

Not many teams in the Southern half that we've played before in a competitive game.0
-
Sadly Dartford went out at Worthing, so no chance of a game at the very familiar Princes Park.0
-
Margate away in the first round.

TV companies will be calling it the Thames Estuary derby.2

Am assuming Bury is the phoenix club? Huge for them to reach first round0

Yes it is, the two fan groups sorted out their differences not too long ago nowSiv_in_Norfolk said:Am assuming Bury is the phoenix club? Huge for them to reach first round
So they're now back under the name of Bury, instead of AFC Bury and are also back playing at Gigg Lane too15 -
Macclesfield are also making a comeback. Big for them if they can make the 1st round too.Siv_in_Norfolk said:Am assuming Bury is the phoenix club? Huge for them to reach first round4 -
Biggleswade away to re visit our floodlights.0

Ok, train spotters and location, location fans?
If Hornchurch beat Leiston, they will play a local derby against Dagenham which is less than 5 miles away.
The question: Are any of the ties in North or South closer than "Just in Essex derby" 🤔

Saw Oldham are in this round, now that surprised me, a team naturally of the EFL. I know how bad we feel about our decline, but imagine being an Oldham fan who once graced the 2nd tier!
Wasn't it them who we were playing when the game was abandoned because our pitch was flooded? 3-0 down at half time?0 -
Or the 'not quite in Essex derby' to pedants like me (see countless previous discussions about whether Bromley is in Kent)soapboxsam said:Ok, train spotters and location, location fans?

I'm testing my old memory again Kap, but I was there at this game and I'm sure it was Doncaster Rovers and 1-3 when the game was called off at HT and we had reached 4.45pm !

Biggleswade FC have York City - by far the biggest game in their short history. Sadly they currently ground share with Bedford Town, but at least the capacity of 3000 will make it a decent payday for them.Bedsaddick said:My Local team Biggleswade Town drew Spennymoor Town at home and that's if we beat Alfreton at home which was called off because the pitch is underwater.

I don't think our old floodlights exist anymore, unless Biggleswade Town took them with them when they moved ground in 2006?1 -

I think you are right! In my defence ... OK I haven't got one just getting old 🧓soapboxsam said:Kap10 said:Saw Oldham are in this round, now that surprised me, a team naturally of the EFL. I know how bad we feel about our decline, but imagine being an Oldham fan who once graced the 2nd tier!

The third club in town (Biggleswade Utd) got knocked out by Enfield in the first preliminary round. I don't think there's a smaller town that can claim three semi-pro sides. It hasn't got much else going for it to be fair...seth plum said:

Isnt Biggleswade United's chairman Guillem Balague the Spanish football journalist? Seem to remember them having a couple of Spanish managers too because of it?1

Three clubs in a town with a posted population of 23,000 is impressive.
Birthplace of Charles Penrose who created a popular song detailing police corruption.
#If you chance to meet him (the policeman)
When walking ‘round the town
Just shake him by his fat old hand
And give him half a crown#

Remember ground staff using brooms to sweep the water off the pitch and Johnnie Jackson grabbed one and was sweeping it back on.soapboxsam said:Kap10 said:Saw Oldham are in this round, now that surprised me, a team naturally of the EFL.
