Breaking News FA Trophy 5th Round: Southend United v York City, Saturday 11 Feb 3pm

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Would have been Chelmsford if they had won the penalty shoot out

Shame, because imo we'd have got between 4,500-5,000 had we played them.

 

[Piledriver]

Presuming the Dorking game is rescheduled for sometime after it was meant to be played, we have a run of five consecutive home games starting on January 28th!

Good for the clubs cash flow, hope the team can go on another long unbeaten run too.

 

[Exiled Shrimper]

Nice idea Tommy but the away team have to agree on entrance fees.

There’s also a minimum admission fee for adults, which is £10 from the Third Round Proper to the Semi-Finals (£6 prior to that).

Nothing to stop the clubs from agreeing on a kids for a quid initiative, for example, though (although like with the adult fees, they do have to agree).

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

Thing is with the FA Trophy is that it would actually be hard to wholeheartedly celebrate winning it because it is a competition only for non league teams.

No.

I cant even be bothered to respond...

So... None of the big teams left in the comp
Possible wembley appearance up for grabs
Confidence booster for the team, town and club
Cash in the pocket from a cup run

Think we should take this seriously. Play a full team, get as many supporters in as possible to cheer the team on and support the team to Wembley.
Nice link into next season confidence and belief we can win

 

[Barling Magna]

No.

I cant even be bothered to respond...

You did though, didn't you?

 

[Wise Head]

With Wrexham, Chesterfield, Notts County and Woking already out, I think most of the 12 National League teams left feel they have a realistic chance of getting to Wembley, particularly if you keep getting home games.

If they are sensible they will book a week on Gods Riviera.

Any vacancies?

 

[Shrimpet steve]

No excuses, it's ours to loose.

Never met a poor bookie...

No excuses, it's ours to loose.

And to spill correctly
