nufcjb Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Something to look out for post-Burnley this weekend. BBC and ITV have the rights for the competition from this season onwards. The draw will commence as part of the coverage for local non-league Hertfordshire derby Boreham Wood v St Albans City (coverage starts 6.45 pm) - the draw will be at 7:00 pm on ITV4. The third round matches will commence with the first being played on Friday evening (January 7), up until Monday night (January 10). Spoiler alert - We won't draw the mackems.

Miggys First Goal Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Probably be best if we fall at the first hurdle so we can fully concentrate on the league. Don’t need any other distractions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
South-Cheshire-Toon Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Believe the draw is going to be done BEFORE the Gateshead game - from listening to the ITV racing team - they were plugging it last weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Not worthy of a thread, most pointless thing ever us and cups, in all seriousness, I’d rather we concentrated on staying up @Ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The Cups gave me awful fear in the Bruce years. Couldn't abide the thought of us accidentally progressing and God forbid winning something during that spell. Excited to be annoyed and gutted at being knocked out again.

deejeck Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 3rd round draw still gives me a massive buzz. I'm from a generation where the FA Cup was THE competition and this used to be one of the biggest highlights of the season. It's awful to see just how devalued this competition has become, although fair play to the BBC who have been trying to build it up again in recent years.

Aye, 3rd round draw is the only draw I ever care about in the whole of football. Not even the World Cup draw gives me any excitement to watch. Only reason I will watch any draws beyond the 3rd round is if we're in it. 2nd round gets my attention too this time around with Gateshead in a big televised tie.

This is confirmed, the 3rd round draw will be done BEFORE the Boreham Wood versus St Alban's City game on the evening of Monday 6th, as normally it's done after this game (the last one of the round). Draw is on ITV4. @ 19:00 Edited December 3, 2021 by South-Cheshire-Toon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Could be really useful for the squad this. A few players on the fringes need games under Eddieball. The likes of Murphy, Longstaff etc should be chomping at the bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
