Guest Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 If anyone from the CCFA reads this, could the numbers perhaps be jumbled up a bit? It is great listening to it on the radio but it was predictable last time with St Austell (the holders) as number 1 and the rest done alphabetically. Give them random numbers, it adds a bit more excitement to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Mr Willow Tree. As I understand it the reason why AFC St Austell is number 1 is because the draw is made alphabetically and the Club is correctly named AFC ST AUSTELL. The Club is no longer called St Austell it is properly titled AFC St Austell and therefore must be the first named club alphabetically in the County. I hope that answers your query.

Jimbo Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Why could the Cornwall fa not make these thios Saturday. Just another case of Cornwall fa being awkward ! Big Al, have you ever thought of being positive rather than negative. As BHD said it was probably because it wasn't apparent who was going to be in the next round on Saturday anyway. I assume that the CCFA has to check the result sheets as well and there maybe a discrepancy that needs to be investigated. I recall a few years ago Falmouth was expelled from the competition for playing a player who had not played the requisite game before he was elligible. The CCFA has become a very forward thinking group of people most of whom are probably younger than you. They have come up with many new initiatives and I applaud everything that the team is doing at the moment. I'll name just a few and you can tell us all how and what you did when asked by the CCFA: The CCFA held and Open Day when they invited the public to attend at their lovely new offices to ask any questions that you might have and to see what they are doing themselves first hand. Did you go? The CCFA ran a campaign about anti bullying - Did you comment? The CCFA has asked for people to complete a survey about the County Cups - have you done yours? Richard Pallott the Governance Manager went on the radio to answer questions asked by the public - Did you listen. The CCFA is now doing live draws on the radio which is being open and honest with the public and getting well respected people to participate in the draws. Yet you still criticise them for this The CCFA has promoted the Christmas Truce of 1914 - has your Club sent it a photo for Football Remembers. The CCFA celebrated it's 125 years and held a commemorative match where the adult County team played for the first time in I believe 7 years. Did you attend All you have to do is go on the CCFA web site and you will see it is a hive of information to the Cornish public and further a field for those that want to look. The team is frequently keeping us the public up to date with Facebook postings and tweets on Twitter. There are reports about the County Youth game before and after and reports about the girls and disability groups too. Now all of the above is there for our benefit and in my view the CCFA has raised its profile to another level and should be congratulated on all the hard work the team puts in and their continuing efforts to keep the public informed and stimulated by topics they raise. Now it would be nice if you recognised this hard work and effort the CCFA has put in and posted something you felt might be positive and which would make the personnel at the County Offices smile.

Mike Odgers Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 That new registration rule which I understand has now been discarded/ammended was unfortunate on Falmouth as they became the first victims of it.The previous rule I think only applied to the Semi Final & FinalAlthough it was added to the rule book rather ambiguously most if not all clubs were unaware of it at the time and later many Junior clubs fell into the trap.Leading 3-0 Falmouth brought on as sub a new signing late in the game.I have never seen a County handbook of today with the rules so I hope I am right in wehat I say.

midlandlilywhite Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 In round 3 draw the Premier and Cgampionship clubs are always put together numbered in alphabetical order 1-44. So AFC Bournemouth were no 1, Arsenal 2, Aston Villa etc, WBA 41, West Ham 42, Wigan 43, Wolves 44. Wolves are usually always 44 as Arsenal 1 until AFC Bmouth's promotion. The remaing 20 clubs outside the top 2 tiers are always numbered 45 - 64 at the discretion of the FA not necessarily in alphabetical order. Hopefully that clarifies things Willow.

Jimbo Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I have never yet seen any of them smile ! Big Al, I thought you could do better than that. Well if you go on the CCFA web site click on "Meet The Cornwall FA Team" at the bottom of the page I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the smiling faces on the web site. Go on do it just for the fun of it, I'm sure it will make you smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midlandlilywhite Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 You learn something new everyday! I didn't know the top 2 tiers (the exemptees) were numbered numerically! Numbered re alphabetical order only in Round 3. The other 20 are usually numbered from the match order drawn from Round 2. I believe this process than carries on from Round 3 to 4 and on. We will see if this happens if the winners of Arsenal v Hull are no 1 in the 4th round draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
