FA TROPHY 2020/21

[AlexJdarts]

When do we enter the FA Trophy this season? Is it the 1st round?

[the futures white]

Dartford enter from the 2nd round (proper) which is played on December 5th.

[AlexJdarts]

Thanks futures white!

Are we going to win it?

Actually, on a more serious note, are these games played on the same day at Wembley and if so, will the supporters have to leave after the Vase final in order that the Trophy final - provided it's being competed for by 'elite' teams - can be played in front of no one? Of course, this bullshit might be relaxed somewhat by then, but I wouldn't bet on it.

If the 2nd round isn't played until 5th December, I assume the 1st round hasn't been played yet. So do we have any idea of who we might be playing?

[Lincoln exile]

1st Round is on 14th November, with even the last Qualifying Round not played until this weekend

[AlexJdarts]

I believe 2nd Round proper is nationalized so we can play anyone still left in the competition, third qualifying round is taking place this weekend.

It has always been my dream to see Darts at Wembley (I was too young to go to the 74 game). This season we have to be in with a great shout and it would just be typical if the govt stopped us from being there.. Must start hatching a plan to sneak in like all those at Chippenham the other night eh

Unfortunately, I never saw the Darts at Wembley either as I didn’t start going to Watling Street until the end of the 1976-77 season. Subsequent to that final appearance I’ve suffered four semi final defeats so I suppose it really would be Sod’s law if a second final appearance was to be played behind closed doors...Still there’s a long way to go yet.

I am old enough to say I did see the Darts at Wembley to almost achieve the double but it was not to be. Fantastic memories about the occasion nevertheless. I think I still have the Dartford Rosette (remember those?) with Dartford FC stapled over the top of Newcastle and I expect Morecambe was stapled over the top of Liverpool (the FA Cup final that same month). It would be good to pay a visit to the new Wembley but of course it is this damn virus preventing attendance and not the government.
