Interesting to see what they lower the ticket prices to, can't see there been much demand at twenty odd quid to watch us put a lot of points on an amateur club.

I'm strangley looking forward to this one, something i don't normally say about games against amateur clubs. At least this game is a proper competition where the outcome is decided on't pitch and not in some far flung foreign office block. Although we are unlikely to go the whole way and reach Wembley it gives our club the chance of some good recognition and making a bit of money if we can get through to the later rounds. Hammersmith will come up here full of enthusiasm and wanting to show up well on their big day out. Here's hoping for a decent game and progressing to the next round alongside a good Saturday out! Up The Fax!

Will have a head over to the Town forum, no doubt they will be losing their minds and blaming us. That pitch was in an awful state before we even played a game on it, if Town had any sort of backbone they could have put pressure on the council at the same time we did to try and get them to sort the pitch out so it was fit for purpose. Now its at the point where the council know it is going to cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to sort out and they don't have the money and are willing to offload the Shay for brass tacks. Their chairman has played a blinder in this one.

Good chance for Finn, and the fans, to take a look at the players who've hardly had any game time this season, although, without being disrespectful, quality of the opposition will make it hard to make any real judgements. If any doubt about JWH fitness wouldn't be surprised to see him miss out, especially as it will be a very heavy pitch. Quite a few with something to prove should hopefully mean there's no chance of team not taking it seriously.
