FA Cup Rd 1 v Sheppey United (a)

ITV just said Sheppey are the lowest placed team left in the cup. Could be wrong.

Billericay in isthmian premier league.

Sheppey play in the Isthmian league south east division.

Billericay is proper Essex. The old ref Andy D’Urso was from there as they used to put the graphic up on MOTD of where referees where from.

I presume Sheppey is Isle of Sheppey…that will be lively. :grin:

Really good draw and surely it will be a primetime TV game rather than tucked away on the red button a midday or a Monday night at 8pm.

Looking forward to it. Bit like the Kings Lynn game a few seasons back.

Billericay had an eccentric money man in charge and he did the ground up and brought decent players in, but he left and they dropped down a bit. Ground obviously still alright.

They have only got 3 sides of the ground now, they don’t use the old away end it is full of junk and old goal posts
I wonder if i can still get into the directors box? :grin:

Would think with Sheppy being the lowest ranked team it would be on tv if they get through

Isn’t that where Gavin in Gavin and Stacy fictionally lived?

I think away fans get 15 per cent for the FA cup, so only 210 if it’s Sheppey.

Might mean sleeping overnight to get a ticket :joy:

Yes, you are right.

Used to hate Billericay town on my Truro City save on FM.

The New Lodge was not an easy place to go!

Jamie O’Hara used to manage them so a very good chance of radio commentary on TalkSPORT. This might raise the profile of the club. The Americans will like that.

I have had to go to the Isle of Sheppey quite a bit for work. Let’s just say it is an interesting place…
