Poor away draw....winnable...replay ?

[One Foot in the Grave]

The FA Cup tie referred to above was against Gateshead United, and it was in the 74-5 season in the second round.  We won 3-0 and got Everton in round 3.

Gateshead United are actually South Shields in disguise.  But not the current South Shields.  They folded in 76-77.

The histories of Gateshead and South Shields in their various guises make quite interesting reading.

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

There are two outstanding teams in the East division of the NPL - Liversedge (unbeaten, 10 wins from 11 games) and Marske.

Marske lost 2-1 at Liversedge in the second game of the season. They've won all their other 8 games, scoring 23 goals and conceding just 1 !

Their main goal threat comes from former England C international Adam Boyes - I'm pretty sure he's played against us previously - perhaps Cult can enlighten us.

Adam Boyes was a member of the Guiseley team that lost 2-1 against Alty courtesy of Greg Wilkinson's celebrated eleventh-hour winning goal at the Chequers End in the Skrill North Promotion Final played on Saturday, 10th May, 2014.

Bloody awful draw really.

If it's Gateshead, wouldn't mind getting them back to our place midweek to finish the job.

Marske humiliated Chester in a replay, it really is a horrible draw. Play at our best and we have to be confident but both clubs are high up in their leagues, they should be bubbling with confidence for a nice juicy home tie.

Right, that's a couple of weeks away. Come on Alty.

Didn't Adam Boyes play for Guiseley around the time we beat them in the playoff final. He was a good player then but that was a good few years ago.

See Cult's response above. I seem to think he played against us for Bradford PA as well

When Alty drew 4-4 at Spennymoor Town in the National League North on Saturday, 11th August 2018, Adam Boyes was one of the goalscorers for the home side.

being played over the weekend of 5th Nov,so boreham wood at home is off.Glad i cancelled coming up north now that weekend

[robininstockport]

I said before the the 1st round draw I didn't want Marske, I'm praying we play them in the 2nd round!

[Saughall Robin]

Don't care who we get in the second round (but would like it to be a winnable one!) IF we can get there! 😉
Would like to play Marske and beat them in this round though if only for the 'bantz' with all the Chester fans around here! 😉

We'll know tonight whom were playing, and assume we'll have the game watched.

[Toff Apple]

Cant help but feel Gateshead would be less of a banana skin, we know the ground and set up, most of the players and we know the pitch is decent.  Marske have shown they can do very well, they would be so up for it.
Up the heed tonight for me
