FA Cup - Lymington vs Torquay United 22/09/18

If it is Lydney then get there early. Nonstands and no parking. Tiny little town. My local club.

[wivelgull]

If we lose this one then surely it is the end....

[desperado]

Especially if Lydney have an injury crisis and Mr Burnz gets called up, and comes on and scores the winner

[dennisk]

If it is Lydney, it will have to be played at Plainmoor or switched elsewhere in Glos.

[Whydoibother]

No way will it come down here , will be played somewhere up there.

Why?

Don't pay any attention to the capacity of 90 on Wikipedia, with fans just standing around the edge of a football field one deep I reckon you could get 1000 or more into a ground.

Lets's not pretend we will take vast numbers to this, 150-200 max I would have thought.

[standupsitdown]

Capacity is set not by how many fans can physically fit into a ground but is based on safety, facilities etc. I'm sure it could be increased from 90 but those fans who misbehaved at Evesham won't have helped.

Christ, TUFC will cease to exist if that ever happens. There’s lows, then there’s that.

Never say never

Be suprised if it is at Lydney should they win. I’m sure there’s got to be a requirement for Turnstiles at this stage of the cup? Also, outside toilets??? Not saying we’d take loads, but Lydney are used to about 30/40 people turning up if they’re lucky.

I had a look on Google Earth, looks like a recreation ground! But, time will tell. Anyway, here's hoping we beat either Lydney or Lymington and that our supporters behave! COYG

The attendance at Lydney's qualifying preliminary round reply was 167 and that was on a Tuesday night. I would expect the local plod will have an input in the final decision as to where the match would be played. Incidentally I believe the FA now do not allow the venue to be switched to the away drawn team as was the case a few years ago when Marlow drew Tottenham at home.

[dennisk]

I expect Gary Owers will be at the replay in Lydney. Let's hope he give us an insight into the opposition!

Surely any ground requirements would have to be met to initially enter the competition at all? Any club entering the cup has the possibility of going all the way to the final in theory so if they are accepted in the earlier rounds their ground is deemed to be fit to stage a game in any round.

As mentioned by another poster the final decision will be down to the Old Bill I expect.

[Forest gull]

Walked my dog there hundreds of times. It isn’t a football ground, just a park with a clubhouse and fence around pitch. Nearest decent ground would be Cheltenham or forest green. Evesham also a possibility.

[Mr Burnz]

0-0 Half time.

Lymington looking the more likely to score.
