FA CUP 2020/21

Which games could we be ‘neutral’ fans and attend?

Not sure what the rule is on this, for example could a club refuse to sell you a ticket if you live in Barnet area as they know you would be an unofficial away fan??

I guess if you lived in Barnet itself that might be a bit of a giveaway. However, every club has exiled fans and many people have family / friends living in other parts of the country whose address they could use.
Personally I'd like us to draw away to Haringey, my address is only 5 miles from their ground.

St Albans City - but they're not on your list

St Albans are NLS so are an elite club, therefore aren't allowed fans.

[rudebwoyben]

Beware - clubs involved in the FA Cup at the 2nd qualifying round stage when the NLN/NLS sides enter were told that they could sell tickets to fans of non-elite clubs but not those of elite clubs. How this was enforced and how strongly it was I do not know.

[DerekRocholl]

Presumably we are in to season ticket holder/member land ?

[pletch99]

I would imagine the rules will be the same as the 2nd qualifying round whereby clubs won't be allowed to sell to fans of NL clubs. Obviously you could try and buy a home ticket - many clubs are selling online.

None because we have a sensible upstanding fanbase who will adhere to all of the rules however ridiculously inconsistent the rules are. In any case come next week my sense tells me that tougher restrictions may mean no fans in attendance at any level.

We were so lucky when the Barnet dog had its day two years ago and we fans were able to attend the Sheffield United and Brentford games.
This season there will be very likely be another non-League club which gets through to the 3rd round and gets a big tie.
Imagine getting drawn away to Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs etc and not being able to attend.
With clubs already pulling out of the FA Cup because of covid this season's FA Cup is going to be a very sad and light-weight competition.
The magic of the cup? Probably not this year.

It was a wonderful day in Sheffield. We all had a ball seeing us win against a team that was promoted to the Premier League.

Ah wait. The club conspired to mess up my coach booking so i was turned away.

Still got to see it on the internet and i could enjoy the reflected enjoyment of others!

But it would be upsetting to miss out on going to a big tie.

However while today has been the most mentally stressful personally since the pandemic started my perspective is football is only a game and our health is more important.

Maybe a vaccibe will come that will enable us to enjoy our beautiful game in the way we should be able to.

There are so many Southern clubs in the draw that it looks like all teams north of the M25 will be forced into the Northern section of the draw. That includes St Albans who went through on penalties today and Hemel who received a bye after Boston pulled out due to positive tests.

There are 38 clubs in the Southern section of the draw (25 in the Northern). Including us there are 14 National League teams.
One of the club's missing from your list, Beebot, is Leiston.That would be a nice away draw under normal circumstances, the town is on the Suffolk coast.
Bees are ball number 2.

Bees drawn away to Leiston

[John Hunt]

Nice virtual away day.

[ETBee]

Leiston has a lovely renovated Edwardian cinema. Nearby is also the superb Eels Foot pub. It's location is in an area devoid of light pollution so when I was there last January we could see the best display of stars I've seen almost anywhere in the World. Sadly,of course, that joy may be more difficult this year, but maybe not.

Bees drawn away to Leiston

Of course we have - the one time there's a game near to me, and we have a global pandemic

[Nudger70]

Definitely not elite
