[ Sat 14th Sep ] Cockfosters v AFC R&D FA CUP

Post by Formic »

Match Preview - http://www.afcdiamonds.com/cockfosters- ... -september

A couple of early points for our game on 14th. Some of the Northwood fans warned us about the lack of parking there, and if you look on Google Maps you can see the ground is very close to the tubs station, so I guess they want to avoid commuters clogging up the roads. The tube station has a car park with 400-450 spaces, and its only £2 on a Saturday.

I also notice Peter Okechukwu played for them in their game on Saturday.- http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/cockfoste ... /0-1937949

I see they've got Cogenhoe in the Vase next weekend. If we assume that Cogenhoe are going to be a decent upper mid-table UCL side as they are most seasons, the result on Saturday will give us some idea of how good Cockfosters are.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

I know this is a bit off topic, but do we know who could potentially be next should we get past cockfosters?

It's the Step 2 teams (Conference North/South).

Cockfosters are the same level as us aren't they in the SSML? Would have thought we'd get through if we play to our full potential. They can't be that decent if Chucky is starting there.

A big financial incentive for winning this match, besides progressing further in the competition, as the winners get £3,000 from the FA Cup Prize Fund. We've already won £3,425 from our previous two wins.

With the draws we've been getting it'll probably be someone like St Albans or Borehamwood away. Hopefully we'll get a home draw though for a change, cause both Vase and Cup draws haven't been particularly kind to us. If we get through of course.
