2012/13 FA Cup thread

The 2012–13 FA Cup is the 132nd season of the longest-running association football cup competition. 758 clubs were accepted for the competition, 5 fewer than the previous year's 763. The large number of clubs entering the tournament from lower down the English football league system means that the competition starts with a number of preliminary and qualifying rounds. The 32 victorious teams from the Fourth Round Qualifying will progress to the First Round proper.

I take it the numbers in brackets are their level in the pyramid?

I went to Padiham - Burscough on Monday. Drew 0-0.

Indeed the level of pyramid is what I put in brackets. In the next round teams from level 7 join the competition.

I know, this is the first time I've seen Burscough in the prelims.

The cup game that I went to on saturday (Bishops Cleeve 2-2 Ascot United) was abandoned after 83 mins as the pitch was deeply flooded, so much so that the rearranged game was also called off yesterday. I guess when they do play, a replay would seek to be avoided at all costs.

How did Wembley vs Uxbridge get on?

Wembley 0-5 Uxbridge in the replay.

Brilliant. Signed all those old cunts to get through and they get smashed before the first qualifying round.

I agree with you. Hopefully ESPN will broadcast Uxbridge v Berkhamsted for the next round as they would have done if Wembley had won.

Come on Uxbridge you cunts

How about some notable results, or at least things I think people would have been interested in knowing what happened.

AFC Liverpool 0-1 Prescot Cables

Curzon Ashton 2-2 Northwich Victoria; Curzon Ashton advance 4–2 on penalties.

Loughborough Dynamo 3-0 Glossop North End

The FA Cup 1st round Qualifying results are here.

Today I went to Bishops Cleeve against Bracknell town and the game finished 6-0 to the hosts. The quality of football Cleeve played was outstanding for a side in the 4th tier of non league football and there were several quality goals. Funny moment was a Bracknell player who got booked for going way over the top with his swearing, before apologizing twice to the crowd and then later getting involved in a bust up with his own team mate .

Enjoying the early rounds so far. Hopefully another home draw for Cleeve. That or Gloucester away at Whaddon Road.

Burscough 2-4 Witton Albion.

We were 2-0 down after 10 minutes, 3-0 at HT. Got within a goal late on, and conceded again.

Upsets from the current round;

Sutton Coldfield Town (8 ) 0-3 Gornal Athletic (9)
Chesham United (7) 0-1 Northwood (8 )
Hemel Hempstead Town (7) 2-5 Waltham Forest (8 )
Waltham Abbey (8 ) 1-0 Bedford Town (7)
Uxbridge (8 ) 3-4 Berkhamsted (9)
Badshot Lea (9) 3-2 Folkestone Invicta (8 )
Wootton Bassett Town (10) 3-1 Highworth Town (9)

In fairness that's expected. There's a couple of leagues difference between the two.

Good to know, I posted that because I thought AFC Liverpool might be a popular non-league side.

FCUM won 5-0 against Cammell Laird today. 2nd qualifying round draw tommorow at 1pm, with blue square north and south teams entering.

Had quite a decent rise. Started of by fans of Liverpool that couldn't afford to go to the match regularly. Had quite a bit of success at their level.

We come in at the 4th round of qualifying, could get a very interesting team away from home

Round is it now, 3rd qualifying round?

I believe the next set of FA Cup fixtures to be played will be the 2nd qualifying round

Yeah it's the second now. Prelims and firsts are done. First qualifying replays are tomorrow.

Slough are out of it I presume.

I can't find a decent enough website that's updated, looking to see Slough's and Windsor's progress.

Also who was the last non-league team to reach the 2nd/3rd round?

Wrexham, Fleetwood and Salisbury got to the third round last year.

When's the 1st Round proper?
