FA Trophy resumption?

[juanillo]

We know when next year’s will start now -

FA Trophy:
1st Qualifying Round:
Saturday, 26th September 2020

2nd Qualifying Round:
Saturday, 17th October 2020

!?!?! Yet not even a clue as to if/when/how this year's will end. You wouldnt open a new packet of biscuits before you'd finished the last pack, would you?

Well the FA haven't kept their packet stored away carefully. Maybe they've let them go stale and they have possibly chucked them away

I think it is us that is confusing the FA. You would normally only expect step 1 sides at semi final stage, perhaps step 2, but step 4 !!! Unheard of. So they could have conducted semi and final long before the ‘normal’ sides entered the new seasons competition ... but we could conceivably see a step 4 side in the final in late October when they have already completed 2 or even possibly 3 rounds

We could be in a position where we've won last year's competition and won't be able to defend it because we've already been knocked out of this year's competition by Brereton Social in the Extra Mega Preliminary Round.

In fairness to the FA, I think that they're doing what they can here. They couldn't have played the end of the 19/20 before now, or indeed before Septemberish to allow sides to prepare, and they have to start the 20/21 at some stage.

I suspect that it will be OK as we'll get a bye to the 1st Round or similar due to our performance this year, allowing us to win it on the Saturday and get knocked out the following Tuesday.

What's that got to do with biscuits?

Sorry, that's no wafer me to respond, it was a bit rich, tea best way to respond would have been to not bowl you such a jaffa.
As another thought, who was that bloke who played for us and St Kitts & Nevis? Gary, baldy head??
etc...

[andy]

Why did you have to ask that? My head is spinning trying to remember. Stick to biscuits!

[andy]

Smith!!!!

We've had other internationals from that neck of the woods as well.

“Gary Baldy”....

“Gary Baldy”....

Yeah, but what has ANY of this got to do with biscuits?
