Who do we want in round 2?

Post by 32mile_cul-de-sac » Sun Nov 05, 2023 11:22 am

Me the lowest possible ranked team at home giving us the best possible chance of progressing and hopefully that big payday for the club.

Ramsgate or Alfreton at home. If it’s away Blackpool or the cods if they beat Kidderminster today

Doesn’t matter who we want it’s who we get and we were 2nd out the hat so a long visit to Maidstone United FC

Without underestimating Maidstone this is a big chance to progress.

Not sure how many get tv coverage but in with a chance. Would imagine Wigan and Stockport ties will make the box but then 7th in conf south Maidstone could make the cut

As far as away ties go, it's not a bad one. Would prefer them away over a lot of teams at home

Agreed, chance it could be in tv , which would be a decent cash pot for the club, after it’s shared although they play on a 3G pitch :/
