NB. It's "....34-goal striker...."

Was chatting to a Charlton FC supporter (work colleague) last night & he seems to think that in this cup teams HAVE to play at least 4 first teamers. I have checked this out with the Kent FA & they say that is not the case.Just so long as they are affiliated to the club as a player anyone can play.

Of course we are all expecting youth & reserves to be out there but Charlton 1st team don't have a mid week game scheduled for this week so who knows they might give one or two a run out.

I got the impression from CK's interview that he will play the strongest Margate line-up;whereas i was anticipating the likes of Sherlock ,davies and taylor thompson getting a start.

 

who can tell

[Cookie]

Who knows Michael. They might even put a full first team out there. (to boost attendances,that bit).

Wouldn't hold my breath about that Cookie - their site lists it as Margate v CAFC XI and says of the 2 remaining

senior first-t

eamers from their last KSC match, one (Pritchard) won't be in the team because he's 'enjoying a run in Chris Powell's starting XI'. Expect no more than their reserves & academy players.

Am certainly not holding my breath Peter but by saying it might it entice a few more through the turnstiles, even if it dosent happen on the night.

How's the weather at the moment? Could the game be in any doubt?

[Wellsie]

The last forecast I saw said rain during the day but clearing up this pm / evening. Given resonable recent weather I'd be surprised if there was a probem with the pitch for tonight's match, barring monsoon-like copmditions during the day.

The pitch is currently being rolled and isn't too soft underfoot just yet. Thankfully yesterday's verti-drain procedure should give us the best chance of ensuring tonights game goes ahead. Will post another update as things progress into this afternoon.

Sweet! I'm on my way!!!

I notice important league match tonight also Hendon V Wealdstone. Suppose a win for Wealdstone or a draw would be favourable.

[Cookie]

Could be that Charlton are going to send a stronger squad than we anticipate.

"Richard Avery is one of the squad’s Charlton fans, and looking forward to the match. “I definitely want to play,” he said. “Everyone else does – it’s a big game.”

Watch out for the odd slip up by Richard tonight then! (Only kiddin' Richard, only kiddin'!)

Been at the ground this morning preparing for this evenings game, it appears that they are sending down quite a strong side with a few first team squad members including a new signing from Doncaster . . . could be a very interesting game.

[marksandwell]

So are you saying we may only win 4-1 tonight?

[AncientBlue]

Could get as tight as that I think Mark
