I agree with the lady. Are you sure you're talking about Hardenhuish Park?!

"My" Clevedon Town beat Cirencester, and are now to visit Beastleigh in 10 days time. I know who I WANT to win.... Good luck to Sutton at the Dripping Thing. Again, I know who I WANT to win.... The Mighty Truro bowed out to Barf City. John Relish, Romans' Manager said: "I'm just relieved, to be fair. I thought they were the better side throughout." No kidding, chutney boy! Apparently Truro pasted them for 83 minutes... but with no luck. Grockles beware! TCFC are on the march...

But only one person can support each team, so the loser is out of the game That means that by the time we get to the final there'll only be two players left. The game I play means switching your allegiance to the victors if you lose, that way you are involved all the way to the final. Isn't that the point? It's a game to see who can get the furthest surely? Doing it that way would mean that 12 of us end up supporting the same team and where's the fun in that?

I've noticed a few clubs in the Southern League are already wailing about how much it will cost to get to Truro if (more like when) they get promoted, and how their part-time players will never get back in time for work! Truro's owner is loaded though, they will just fly to away games.

Went to Camberley Town last night, Dartford scraped through on penalties in poor game. This to set up Bromley v Dartford in the next round. Is Bromley in Kent or not? Andy www.roadtowembley.blogspot.com

Andy www.roadtowembley.blogspot.comKent it is; but I and others on here have had less than pleasurable experiences of their fans at cup games (mine as a neutral, I might add). A local derby in the cup though! Good luck. Yep. ;D

Bromley is technically Kent, but it's a London borough and the general feel is more of suburban London than of Kent. And don't ask me about their fans. Load of %$@*&^!

So where does that leave Sutton (and indeed Carshalton)? Surrey or London? I tend to vary depending on the situation. Generally London though.

Well, we have a bit of an identity crisis don't we? We're a London borough, but with a Surrey address and postcode, a London phone number and London transport etc. We write "Surrey" on our letters, yet have nothing whatsoever to do with Surrey County Council- we come under London Borough of Sutton.
Like you, I vary depending on the situation. If I were in Lancashire and someone asked where I was from, I'd probably say London. If I were in Essex, I'd probably say Surrey. But I'm generally London too, unless I'm actually in London at the time!

It's a game to see who can get the furthest surely? Doing it that way would mean that 12 of us end up supporting the same team and where's the fun in that? The fun is in following the fortunes all the way to Wembley. Last season I started with Sporting Bengal United and ended up with Chelskov via Farnborough, Yeading, Salisbury, Nottingham Forest and possibly some others I've forgotten. Loads of people actually follow this route and go to the games. If you're kicked out when your adopted team loses then there will be no-one left by the time we get to the 1st, 2nd or 3rd round proper as we all started with the Extra Preliminary Round clubs, most of whom had never been admitted to the FA Cup before. The idea of transferring allegiance keeps the interest going at every stage, otherwise I would have had no interest after Cadbury Athletic were beaten 6-0 in their replay with Alvechurch. No-one who started this game can possibly get to Wembley. You go your way and I'll go mine

No no, if your adopted team loses then you're only out if they were knocked out by ANOTHER TINPOTTER'S team. I'm sure Malx put that in the rules at the beginning. So if my team gets knocked out by Aldershot Town then I support Aldershot Town, much against my principles. If my team gets knocked out by your team, then I'm out, and you carry on until only ONE of us "wins the FA Cup"

OK ref, I put my hands up, I'll take the yellow card for not digesting the laws of the game. I honestly didn't mean to kick anyone in the crotch, I thought the bastards were out to get me!!! Paranoid? Moi? It's just a shame that I have to support Evesham United who are loathed, in the manner that some of you seem to loathe Carsh**ton, around these parts and especially as Coops is a fellow Villa fan (Aston, that is, not Pelsall). May the best team win

I love the apparent randomness of non-league rivalries.
For the life of me I can't work out why a Moor Green (now Solihull Moors) fan would hate Evesham United.

Not hate, Coops, to be fair, not even loathe. The rivalry stems from our days in the old Southern League Midland/Western division together, games in the Worcestershire Senior Cup, etc.. Consequently the same would apply to all our regular or semi regular foes from around a twenty-five mile radius of The Moorlands. It's more a case of being passionately for your team rather than passionately against the opposition's fans.
