[Satchmo Distel]

Presumably that bars neutrals as well and you'd have to prove you were a home fan? Hard to administer at such short notice.

[Ray de Galles]

No, neutrals appear to be allowed - if they can get a ticket ;

Corinthian Casuals vs Dulwich Hamlet - Statement

Following an announcement from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport in conjunction with the FA, Corinthian-Casuals will be unable to admit supporters of Dulwich Hamlet to King George’s Arena for the FA Cup 2nd Round Qualifying fixture on Saturday 3rd October.

As the coronavirus is clearly clever enough to differentiate between supporters of Step 2 and 3 clubs, in their wisdom, supporters of National League clubs – which include Dulwich Hamlet – are banned from spectating.

We have held back on the sale of tickets for the time being but will unfortunately have to limit these to Corinthian-Casuals and neutral supporters only. Please do not purchase tickets if you are a supporter of Dulwich Hamlet F.C. as both clubs have to adhere to these rules (we cannot believe we’ve had to type that).

We’d like to place on record that as a club, we are not in favour of this utterly baffling ruling, we believe it is wholly unnecessary and we are having to put in place these restrictions under duress.

[Artificial Hipster]

I've been wavering between Mossley v Tadcaster and Hyde v Fylde, leaning towards the former. Mossley tickets don't go on sale until this evening but out of curiosity I started the online form for Hyde tickets. Nowhere was I asked whether I was a home fan, away fan or (as was the case with my Radcliffe ticket last week) neutral. Nor, disappointingly, was I asked for my shirt size.

[Uros Predic]

Corinthian Casuals vs Dulwich Hamlet is a very 1920s tie. Potential banana skins for Welling United at Sheppey United and Hampton & Richmond at Corinthian.

Well, I got one prediction right at least; Sheppey United 2-0 Welling United.

[Amor de Cosmos]

Corinthian Casuals vs Dulwich Hamlet is a very 1920s tie.

A bit of anal pedantry I'm afraid. But Corinthian Casuals weren't actually founded until 1939. After an amalgamation between The Casuals and the (friendlies only) Corinthians.

[Uros Predic]

The aforementioned Sheppey United are one of five 9th tier teams through to the 3rd Qualifying Round. The others are...

• Longridge Town (3-2 winners at tier 7 Stalybridge Celtic)
• Skelmersdale United (2-1 winners against tier 7 Lancaster City)
• Chatham Town (3-0 winners at tier 6 Folkestone Invicta)
• Christchurch (beat tier 6 Gloucester City on penalties after a 1-1 draw)

The draw takes place tomorrow

[Nesta]

Folkestone Invicta are tier 7 I think

[Uros Predic]

Aye, they are, as I considered going to that game on Saturday.

[Uros Predic]

The 3rd Qualifying Round has been drawn.

There will be at least one 9th tier side in the 4th qualifying round with Longridge Town and Skelmersdale drawn against each other.

[longeared]

Telford to Leiston (197 miles each way according to Google) sounds a cracking trip for midweek.

[Nocturnal Submission]

A bit of anal pedantry I'm afraid. But Corinthian Casuals weren't actually founded until 1939. After an amalgamation between The Casuals and the (friendlies only) Corinthians.

Even more pedantically, it's Corinthian-Casuals.

[Satchmo Distel]

Telford to Leiston (197 miles each way according to Google) sounds a cracking trip for midweek.

Yeah, I can't see why this has been put into midweek. Play the rounds on consecutive Saturdays ffs.

[Uros Predic]

Joke is on the pedants, I was actually referring to Corinthian's notorious 1920s hooligan firm, Corinthian Casuals, infamous at the time for turning over matchday trams. Not to be confused with The Casuals Corinthians who were very much their antithesis

[ingoldale]

Boston United have withdrawn due to a number of players testing positive for Coronavirus and a solution to their postponed game not being found.

[jwdd27]

Sholing and Aveley are this year's complete unknowns for me. Without looking it up, Aveley sounds like Hampshire or Wiltshire. Sholing I'll put in East Sussex.

[Southport Zeb]

Aveley are based close to the big shopping centre on the north end of the Dartford Crossing.
Sholing are a Hampshire side, somewhere round Southampton. They only changed their name from VTFC in the last few years or so, having started out as the works team of Vosper Thorneycroft (or possibly its predecessor companies).

[Gangster Octopus]

I've seen Wealdstone play a league game at Aveley. They call themselves The Millers. One day I'll count up all the teams nicknamed The Millers...

[Ray de Galles]

Aveley are quite a fixture in the Isthmian League and have a very impressive new ground. So much so that they seem to be the go-to groundshare in the area. They have at least two other teams as tenants at the moment.

The Christchurch v Dulwich Hamlet game about to start is live on the BBC site and app.

[Ray de Galles]

I mean, look at this. Very Hollywood.

[fatbear]

doesn't seems to be a lot of social distancing in the crowd at Christchurch.............

[Diable Rouge]

Boston United have withdrawn due to a number of players testing positive for Coronavirus and a solution to their postponed game not being found.

Also Alfreton Town, for the same reason.
