Braintree away in first round

[torq2u]

Can we afford to get there? Will the gate money cover the expenses? Oh dear. Another nail in the coffin.

[torq2u]

Braintree averaging about 650 home gate this season. Not exactly rich pickings there. How much does the winner get?

[Magpiegull]

£5,000

[Burnhamgull]

Dare I say win or bust?

We need to win that game just to bring some revenue in over the next month.

No pressure then...

In other words if a draw, we play extra time and if needed penalties

[taxilady]

or a replay if the extra time is not mutually agreed in advance etc.....

In other words if a draw, we play extra time and if needed penalties

But only if both teams agree to it. Otherwise it's a replay followed by extra-time and penalties if needed.

[taxilady]

great minds Philgull....

[Burnhamgull]

So when does Golden goal kick in?

[lucy6lucy]

Thinking about it, I doubt the club would agree to it being settled on the day if a draw after 90 minutes. The club would want a home match

Drawn away in the first round. Did anybody seriously expect anything different?
And we'll lose the match. Does anybody seriously expect anything different?
