FA Vase 2nd Round Draw

[UttoDiamond]

Wolves are away that day which should help boost numbers. Also means the city won't be as rammed as normal on a Wolves match day.

My advice to people travelling is don't go through the centre of Wolves, skirt round the edges and come in via the M54 (its on the north west side of the city). Also need to leave some time to traverse the roadwork section of the M6 around Walsall as its 50 all the way, and can be a nightmare to get through.

[Olly]

Yeah, having travelled to North Wales regularly over the past couple of years, that section of the M6 can be incredibly tedious.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but our first game against a MFA team? I've seen the name a few times, but it is funny playing against teams with Sunday League sounding names! Impressive stand they've got there.

On the plus side lots of good local brewers in that part of the world, (look forward to the full list once Trek cops this) so possibly some decent ale to try, for those of us who arrive in good time.

I'm already on the case, Brownie and they've told me that they will endeavour to get in some locally brewed real ale especially for us in their club house. ;)

As I confidently predicted "a 95% chance it will be a southern team".!!

I expect Black Country Diamond will be able to give us all the info on them.

Where do they get that name? are they Wolverhampton Grammar School Old Boys?

[Trek]

....are they Wolverhampton Grammar School Old Boys?

Yes they are. Part of the sporting set up connected to the Old Wulfrunians Association. Similar set up to ON Chenecks I guess.

They were beaten 4-1 in the FA Cup by Stamford AFC in the 2nd Qualifying Round.

[UttoDiamond]

They also beat the now infamous Atherstone Town 5-0 in the last round!

Very good team.

Totally agree, any fool can moan but not many step forward saying they can do a better job.

Just for the record I'm no fool and yes I could certainly do a better job. If I was as incompetent I'd have been sacked many years ago.

[rudolph_hucker]

Going by coach is a ****ing lability. Turn up just as we kick off. No chance for a beer but plenty of time to see the sights of Dartford.

I'd worry if I was seeing the sights of Dartford, and was expecting to watch a game in the West Midlands! ;)

Judging by the route he took to Dover nothing would surprise me.

Apart from stopping at South Mimms which was not necessary, considering the M11 was closed which route would you of taken.

[Trek]

........ which route would you of taken.

M20 is a better route from Dartford. M2/A2 is pretty poor and the M2 not worthy of a motorway designation. Incidentally we used the M20 on the return journey. It wasn't necessary to stop at South Mimms after only 80 minutes of driving. If a stop was necessary due to driving rules then this should have been done after getting over the very busy and slow Dartford Crossing.
Anyway it's water under the bridge now.
