FA Trophy 4th round
FA Trophy 4th round
Not sure if there is any regionalisation in the draw for the 4th round, but by my reckoning the teams remaining are:
Darlington
Peterborough Sports
FC Halifax
Solihull Moors
Leamington
Altrincham
Stockport
Kettering
Southport
Notts County
Hereford
Chesterfield
Boston
Dorking
Weymouth
Torquay
Dagenham & Redbridge
Sutton United
Hornchurch
Aldershot
Havant & Waterloovile
Bath
Haringey Borough
Woking
Wealdstone
Stamford
Alfreton or Kings Lynn
Oxford City or Truro
Bromley or Hemel Hempstead
Boreham Wood or Yeovil
Maldon & Tiptree or Gloucester
Maidstone United or Frome Town
Of that lot certainly not keen on a long away trip to the likes of Torquay or Truro. Notts County or Stockport at home would be a decent one, well supported clubs who we could probably sell a fair few Quaker TV streams to. If not give us someone like Stamford or Peterborough Sports at home. There may be some head-loss in Lincolnshire if Boston are made to come to Blackwell Meadows for a third time in a season.

Re: FA Trophy 4th round
Quite a few teams are located in tier 4 areas, so will they be allowed to take part or do they forfeit the match, effectively giving a bye to the other team?
Secondary question: would the prizemoney still be given if match cannot be played?

Re: FA Trophy 4th round
When is the draw, and can you hear / watch it live?
Re: FA Trophy 4th round
Elite sport can continue, even in Tier 4.
Re: FA Trophy 4th round
Ollie Bayliss seemed to suggest teams below our level can't play or train in tier 4.
They could always categorise the FA Trophy as an elite competition mind I guess...they have effectively done that with the FA Cup.
Re: FA Trophy 4th round
Weymouth away. Almost worth forfeiting
Re: FA Trophy 4th round
Why would you not regionalise these rounds in this situation? That's absolutely ridiculous.
Re: FA Trophy 4th round
700 mile round trip wonderful. Can't say much more about it really

Re: FA Trophy 4th round
Well its a winnable match, Weymouth are way down in the national league 2nd bottom I think, just like us

Re: FA Trophy 4th round
Depends how you define winnable the Bristol Rovers game was a winnable game at kick off time. They must start as favourites (based on respective league positions and our long journey) However, they have only won 2 league matches and one FA Trophy game having got knocked out of the FA Cup in the first round. As they say a free hit for us.poppyfield wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 1:51 pmWell its a winnable match, Weymouth are way down in the national league 2nd bottom I think, just like us
Re: FA Trophy 4th round
Think there is a scheduled flight to Southampton (well Eastleigh) which is not too far from Weymouth

Re: FA Trophy 4th round
Far from an ideal draw but definitely winnable. Weymouth’s home record in the league is won 1 lost 6. Our away record in the league is won 3 lost 1.
We can win this tie and progress into the last 16.

Re: FA Trophy 4th round
Frome kicking off about going to Maidstone / Tier 4 and asking FA to reconsider position on 'elite' clubs.
It is all going to end in tears or tiers
Yes, FA have booted out Frome & cited Rule 11 - rescheduled matches must be played within 5 days of postponed game, so Maidstone Utd go through
