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.

I watched it on telly and wanted them to win, but it did my head in hearing them chanting "Wires" all the time. They're Town/Yellows/whatever, but not Wires. They can have Wolves if they like though

best team won...town gave it there all and werent shown up by there far superior opponents...well done to all at town

They're also known as "the wire"

Yes, because they bought the rugby club's nickname. It isn't part of their heritage at all.

Can't we both be Wire?

I don't see any harm in it TBH and would probably say that one would reinforce the other particularly as they are different sports as people from outside the area would be made aware of the town's heritage. It's not like Hull FC suddenly deciding that they also quite fancy being known as The Robins

I'm with you on that UR
