I think the Cobbs v Poppies is a 5.30 ko on the sat and is on BBc2

I think the Cobbs v POppies game is 5.30 on BBC 2

They’ve now signed Gary Hooper…

Just goes to show why the FA cup is so important (or at least should be) for non league clubs, just imagine how much they will make from prize money, the share of the gate receipts from what will probably be a 6-7k crowd and BBC TV coverage, surely 6 figures?!

Just can't understand our failures in the competition over the last several years, not even like you can pinpoint blame as each time we have lost to a lower league side was with almost completely different playing and coaching personnel, the big Newark defeat was under Peaksy of course. For me I don't care whether you're playing Man United or Newark, every game in the FA cup should be treated like a cup final and as much as we begrudge them for getting pretty much the best draw they could have got, what K*ttering have done this season should be a motivator for what is possible if you do well in the cup.

But they don’t get the money straight away . So it’s taking a gamble investing a lot of money to get the staff and players in to then do well in the cups. Afterwards it’s a lottery

As for Harborough bit of a stinky draw but a chance to get into the 2nd round, the income for both clubs must be so lucrative from these runs - it still pains me how badly we played against Newark in our 2nd round defeat

Not been a supporter as long as most, but what historical meaning would it have if it was us.

Cobblers were playing K*ttering years before R & D were formed.

Always a tough one, but can I be the first to say- come on you wobblers?

Feckin ploppies

Bottle this feeling up and use it as motivation to help drive our club forwards

As much as I hate to admit, K*ttering were the better side, and deserved it. Cobblers were pathetic.
