HJ used to stage Liverpool reserve team games, 10000 or so there against Man U I think

Hear, Hear! Great to see Shaun Reid shouting "Karl..... Karl...... Karl....... Get on with it!" to the keeper following his brave 'edge of the area' stop after which he was injured! Grass roots sport at its best!

I go to some of the games, its to have something to do locally and cheaply when the rugby season is closed. Just hoping more people go after this win!

2nd round proper draw tonight 7pm BBC2

We are ball no.8 I think.

Do the championship clubs come in at this stage?

Wire v Wigan derby?

Away to Gateshead who are a conference premier team.

Not a good draw.

Third round proper...next round.

Cheers.
Good luck.

Not the best draw, or the best stadium. Having said that I might just have a run up there. The Schooner PH behind the stadium on the banks of the Tyne is a good place for a few pre-match beers.

Is it winnable though?

Well on paper Exeter were a better team than Gateshead

Will be massive outsiders. If they get past Gateshead it will be a better achievement than the Exeter win.

In reality, its the worst draw possible... Ideally, you want a home tie - We didn't get that.... Then after that, you would want a trip to a big(ish) league 1 or 2 side - We didn't get that.

After that, you are left with the booby prize of the trip to a fellow 'non-league' side.... No big crowd for a payday, no real glory in winning, minimal attention when you get beat (the most likely outcome).

Good luck to Town, but Gateshead are a decent side, who would probably knock over most League 2 sides at home... They will see Town as a simple stepping stone to the glory of Round 3 - You can only hope they underestimate Town and they can take advantage.

I'll take a draw and a replay. Town are doing okay with that route.

And according to the Warrington Guardian Town are on tv again against Gateshead ......BT sport 12 pm kick off on the Sunday.

wouldnt have thought this game would of been on telly...

There was a lot of media attention because Wire are the bottom club.
Perhaps BT want to milk that interest as the BBC look elsewhere.

Good luck The Wire for tomorrow.
Will be watching on the tele

its on sunday mate..
odds for a wire win 8/1
1.0 22/1
2.1 20/1

draw odds
0.0 18/1
1.1 9/1

Oops
Cheers pal.

Big ask this.
I'll hope for a 0-0
Don't think I'll chance a bet on it though

The BBC and the FA must be ecstatic with their Cup coverage so far..... The beeb giving it plenty of hype and the underdogs backing it up with some traditional giant-killing.

First Warrington overcoming Exeter, now Blyth doing a last minute job on Hartlepool - I bet the Premier League mob are dreading getting the call from the BBC, telling them they have been picked to be shown in the third round....

The kids got free season tickets for warrington town from Everton fc today from school with an adult attending for free also. Good idea

Truly.
Always invest in the future.
Will you be going IW?

1000+
Wire fans at Gateshead!
BT 1 at 12pm

Gateshead 1 Warrington 0

Wire caught on a counter with only one at the back.

FT
Gateshead 2 Warrington 0

Played well.
Didn't give themselves enough presence in the box to create scoring opportunities.
