Thurrock 1 v Luton 1

[Lord]

This has got to give us confidence, Thurrock are a much poorer side than we are and Luton are a vastly better team than Darlington. So, if Thurrock got a draw against Luton and in fairness Thurrock actually had the better of the first 30 minutes of the first half and certainly the better of the second half, then we must have a good opportunity to turn over Darlo on Sunday!

ive just got back from the game along with 'raver' and just thought id say that it cost £15 to get in !!! <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> there was a mile long que for the rat burger van. <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

the bar wasnt opened untill full time !!!

and it wasnt exactly a 'party atmosphere' either.... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

so come on urchins i know we can do better !!!

[YELLOW]

Thurrock's a morgue at the best of times so I don't see 1200 or so glory hunters providing much of an atmosphere. Half of them probably couldn't even name a Thurrock player!

Sounded from the radio like the ground was full of kids!!!

 

I wonder what the 200 or so diehard Thurrock fans who go week in, week out make of all this!

[Matt]

I saw the game on Sky and I have to say that's the poorest FA Cup non-league vs league atmosphere I've ever experienced. No noise, no passion. Not even any cheering or anything when Thurrock won a corner or had that penalty shout. Where were the fans? Apparently there were more Luton fans there.

[Nigel D]

After we've beaten the taffs at rugby the atmosphere is gonna be electric at the ground, SKY made a balls up choosing those pikeys from Thurrock as their live game!

 

 

[bigchin]

Thurrock have a sh*t ground and I am not surprised that no atmosphere was generated.

 

We have nothing to fear tomorrow and I fully expect us to win. 2-0 Chins!

[YELLOW]

Apparently the crowd was only 1500 which is pretty poor considering Luton have a fairly decent away following. Can't have been more than 700/800 home fans. As I said above Thurrock is always pretty quiet.

OK their crowds are not great but I've been to games where there has been only 200/300 there and there has been plenty of atmosphere and singing. The only people who provide any sort of atmosphere at Thurrock are the squeaky voiced kids who soon lose interest if things aren't going their way.

[Lord]

£15!!! They're having a laugh aren't they! No wonder it wasn't much of a crowd.

[kimbles left foot]

I know...i couldnt belive it when i saw it ! there usual price is £8 i think so perhaps maybe a tenner would of been ideal....but £15 ! <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

the ground was split in half and i would say luton brought abit more...even soo there fans were quite too...i suppose they had nothing to cheer about tho, i mean drawing with thurrock is hardly a result <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Lord]

Can't see any result other than a Luton win and quite probably by a large margin in the replay.

 

As the Thurrock manager said, they had one chance and one chance only to do it. They blew it!!

[Ian_W]

That is what Port Vale thought after they drew 4 all with Canvey at Park Lane - Canvey beat them in the replay at their ground - so anything is possible.

[Lord]

I suppose, but Thurrock had their chances last night, if they had taken them they could have easily won it 3-1!

[Urchino]

For once i agree with Lord Thurrock will get wipped at Luton ! i can't except many Thurrock fans there and Luton seemed in second gear for the majority of the match.

'That is what Port Vale thought after they drew 4 all with Canvey at Park Lane - Canvey beat them in the replay at their ground - so anything is possible.'

 

Yeah but Canvey Island are brilliant compared to Thurrock. Almost Conference quality.
