[Mini Goose]

Im not too disappointed with the draw. could be worse i suppose.

The good thing is i will actually be attending this game!

look forward to it. We are more than capable of getting through this round and getting the draw we have all wanted.

[ken]

it is going to be very tough

[John Short]

where is it

[Mini Goose]

It will be difficult but i wonder.

maybe if we can get a draw and take it back to the lane would be good. We always have a chance of winning the game though.

[John Short]

your right about that it was a good result saturday but this would be a better one though would u agree

[ken]

it is on the border of hertfordshire and Essex so not far away.

 

a draw and bringing it down to the Lane would be good, revenge from when they knocked us out of the trophy in 2005 would be better. that time we were the higher leauge and they were the underdogs

[John Short]

so now we are the underdogs like it

[YELLOW]

They have a bit of an Indian sign over us. Remember when they beat us 4-0 at Park Lane in Danny Potter's first game for the club.

 

The following season we went there and lost 2-0 although I do remember us thrashing them in the return just before Xmas.

[Matt H]

Danny Potter's first game and Adam Miller's last!

 

2-0 at their's was totally appalling, which incidently resulted in my last match report!

 

Still, onwards and upwards with the current squad.

We have played against and beaten them as underdogs before and it CAN be done again.

The players will be up for it again and we as fans must back them all the way.

[canveyspur]

I think this is the worst draw possible, they average on 400 at home games in the blue square south so it wont be a big money spinner. So we have to win this one then get a home draw against one of the big boys.

Yep, remember that!!

[Lefty]

I think on the day if we play well and the turn up in our numbers and let the players no we are right behind them we can win this COME ON CANVEY!!!

[Scuba Steve]

just been on their forum and by the sounds of it they are "underwhelmed" with the draw. Well lets go and show them what we can do.

[Long distance Canvey Fan]

Ill be there, i get back from operatations that morning, so ill be there in my deserts more than likely, with my Canvey shirt over the top!!! C'mon Yellows and well done to the lads for getting this far!

To be fair like us they were looking for a bigger fish but as you say let`s go there on the day and show them what this club is about.

[John Short]

Come on Canvey

[The Great Eckscape]

The more I think about it, the more I believe we can do this. The spirit we showed with 10 men against Maidstone was nothing short of exceptional, and if we can recreate that then we could well have a shock on our hands!

[John Short]

i agree with that if we can beat maidstone we can surely beat bishop stortfod who ever they are
