FA Cup

[tonyd]

Fantastic game with thunder and lightning providing a suitably dramatic backdrop to the drama on the pitch! Apparently this is a record turnaround for the FA Cup.

I took the opportunity to pop along to GGL this afternoon and watched the entertaining 2-2 draw with Jersey Bulls. You really wouldn’t have guessed that Sutton Common Rovers were a division above because the Bulls bossed the match for the most part, but credit to SCR, who battled back from two down to earn a replay.

Having watched the match on BBC's iplayer, I suspect the Bulls will have some difficulty into hanging onto their main striker Sol Solomon, he could easily be playing a couple of divisions higher, perhaps even more

I was there myself, really enjoy the game on and off the field. Agree with your summary of the game. Tuesdays replay in Jersey should be interesting. Jersey are a team who rarely lose. I posted a blog about the game on Medium. Link here link.medium.com/tGMvpCe5Fjb

Apparently that could well be his last game for the bulls as apparently hes going to uni on the mainland.

I was there too and one thing I noticed. SCR had ballboys.

If they can why can't we or is it something to do with numbers at the stadium?

[garethl]

Think we removed them due to covid outbreak in the squad, presumably for the short term.

The SCR v Jersey Bulls replay is now set to take place at GGL.

How much should Sutton charge for the hire of the pitch 🤔

[halftimet]

Can’t help thinking from the image that the goal net is pulled a bit tight? Appears to be coming off the posts.

Draw for 3rd qualifying round:

Still a fair amount of local interest, Merstham and Dorking Wanderers have home ties, Redhill (who I haven’t seen have a good run in the cup for a long while) visit Yate. Kingstonian, Met Police and our tenants all have replays to navigate along with Corinthian Casuals v Leatherhead.
Tie of the round probably Maidstone v Dartford.

I think that this should have been confirmed before the match took place.

And how high do you want the pitch?

[nonsuch]

Any ideea if SCR sells tickets also online or only at the gate tonight? I do not find anything on their site or Facebook page.

[jjgb]

Seems like tickets are only available on the door looking at Twitter

Ok thank you for the reply, I can’t make it to the stadium until 15 mins after game start, hope they still wait for late arrivals:)
