Which would mean we'd be playing a team 2 levels below us, if it stays that way. Must resist the temptation to get over confident considering the last time we played a step 6 side in an FA competition... :lol: :oops:

It should be the weekend of 12th September.

Now AFC Hayes 0 Bedfont & Feltham 2.

It's now AFC Hayes 1-3 Bedfont & Feltham.

AFC Hayes down to 9 men.

Bedfont & Feltham win 3-1.

I notice B&F have bumped admission prices up by 60% for our visit according to their recent tweet. :o :o

Presume that`s £5 to £8 ? On a shared Cup gate do they not consult with the away Club. I can sense a half time full and accurate crowd count coming on for this one, need to ensure we get 50% of 100% not the usual 50% of 50%.

Indeed - they charge £5 for league games, and did so for the previous round.

The rules are defined at http://www.thefa.com/thefacup/more/rules thus:
Immediately after the draw is known, the two Clubs concerned must mutually agree the prices of admission subject to the following conditions.
Except where mutually agreed otherwise the minimum admission (except to children and senior citizens) to matches shall be:
 In the Extra-Preliminary, Preliminary and First Round Qualifying: £3.00
 In the Second and Third Rounds Qualifying: £5.00
 In the Fourth Round Qualifying: £6.00
A higher admission charge may be mutually agreed between the Clubs concerned. The away Club’s spectators can only be charged more than the home Club’s spectators if agreed by both Clubs.

additionally
All persons including Season Ticket Holders must be charged admission to the ground, enclosure and stands in all matches subject to the following conditions:
(i) In the Qualifying Competition, each Club shall be entitled to 30 complimentary tickets.
(ii) In the Competition Proper, each Club shall be entitled to 50 complimentary tickets.
(iii) Complimentary tickets issued by the Home Club in excess of the above must be accounted for at the price at which they would have otherwise been sold.
(iv) A complimentary ticket is a ticket that allows admittance to any area of the stadium to attend a match for no consideration where a charge would otherwise be made by the Home Club.
(v) In addition to the allowance of complimentary tickets set out at Competition Rule 20(a)(i) and (ii) complimentary tickets may be issued for the sole use of the following:
 Directors of the participating clubs. An allowance should be agreed between the participating clubs for the use of the Directors of each club up to the maximum available to the visiting club per Competition Rule 21(a)(vii);
 Press/Media;
 Scouts and official representatives from non participating clubs;
 Official representatives of the governing and legislative bodies of football;
 Disabled and helpers (except where the home club’s policy is to charge);

:mrgreen:

So their latest tweet seems to indicate they have upped the prices to match our home prices 'as agreed by both clubs'..
They still wouldn't give a fair admission total = ££££
