h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

In a change to the usual round that is our trawl through the Premiership fixture list, I thought I'd do something a bit different this week.

Welcome to the magic that is the FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round


Accrington v Leigh RMI
Aldershot v Maidenhead Utd
Carlisle Utd v York City
Dagenham & Redbridge v Crawley Town
Thame v Forest Green


Closing time - 12noon (and don't be late ) on Saturday, 30th October.

Pretty damn sure that those won't be in my CM databse.

GD.......swaer word...swear word......swear word........time for some research...>>>>>>

To be fair, I did pick matches where at least one (and more usually both) teams have a page on the BBC - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fixtures/default.stm

GD...for the link....

Ok they say that the form book gets thrown out the window for FA Cup rounds so I’ll take the plunge first:

Accrington (Who are they) 3 Leigh RMI 1 (Paul Mullin)
Aldershot 3 Maidenhead 0 (Tim Sills)
Carlisle 2 York 1 (Magno Viera)
Dag and Red 1 Crawley 0 (Glen Southam)
Thame 0 Forest Green 2 (Charlie Giffen)

Last time we did obscure rounds of a cup competition in Fantasy Football, it was the Intertoto, which was not exactly successful.

Oh, stop moaning just because you've got to do some actual ing research for once! There's plenty of info on the Conference available on the 'net, and all the games this week involve at least one Conference team.

That's not the point. I have no problem with the research, it's just that I'd resolved to let CM3 play this season for me.

B

Doesn't it run to the Conference? I thought you mentioned Guiseley being included on there?

It does, but not all of those are all-Conference matches.

B

But you can find out some team stats from it, can't you? (Although as it made you think Danny Cadamarteri still played for my boys last week, that might not be entirely reliable).

.....here goes.....
