Neil Baker Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Good morning Rebels, as you know myself and John Porter went up to Gainsborough yesterday to see what we will be up against, and if we didn’t already know we are in for a very tough game, against a very together side who are now unbeaten in 7 games, having won 5 and drawn 2. From all the locals it sounds as if it is going to be a very big crowd on Saturday, and they have already pre sold over 500tickets for a game that is not even all ticket. The BT Sports and Match of the Day cameras will be in attendance also. For those of you who are on the fence about going, I urge you to get yourselves up there and support the lads. It is a huge game, and seeing the Rebels all congregated together in big numbers would be brilliant for the lads, and it is a proper old school ground which I am sure you will love. We will be playing in amber and blue (as they play in Blue) so those with the colours let’s make sure that we get seen. Whether you are driving up yourselves, getting on the supporters trust coaches, or going up by train, it will be great to have your support, and if we can make noise like we have never done so before, that would be class. Who knows where it will take us, but we have had 20 competitive games this season and won 17,and since the start of pre season have scored 80 goals, so why not???

redwine rebel Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I will also be bringing scarves on the coach if anyone needs one, but can you let me know before hand if you need a shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorshamRebel Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 That would be a great photo. All the supporters holding up their scarves in unison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishadrian Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Neil Do the BT and MOTD cameras mean we get a nice cash payment just like Leatherhead got recently for highlights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenSTFC Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I’m guessing they’ll be there at every match to show any goals in a highlight show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtis Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I was pretty sure clubs got something for TV highlights, and although the figures are from 2014/5, I would think those numbers HorshamRebel has found, of £6,750, are still relevant:- http://www.fansfocus.com/leagues/cups/fa-cup/prize.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 The fee of £6,750 relates to the eight matches chosen to be switched to Sunday for the BBC Final Score program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Baker Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Actually we think we might be entitled to that figure mentioned, as the teams on Sunday get 12,500 so that would help if that is the case. We have to provide interviews whilst the game is going on Saturday, and various interviews before and after, and the coverage will be similar to what the BBC do on the Sunday, but on the Saturday and on BT Sport.

Irishadrian Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Matt you've jolted my memory Leatherhead did agree to a Sunday switch to get their cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Yes it seems it's £12,500 for the Sunday coverage and, according to the Commercial Regulations covering the First Round to Quarter-Finals, it's £6,750 for Saturday highlights, though the way I read it was that clubs would get that if extended highlights from Saturday games are shown overseas!

Curtis Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Slough Supporters Trust coach to this match is £30 (£25 if you are a Trust member, or join the Trust for the £10 annual fee*), and leaves from St Joseph’s School at 10am. http://www.sloughtownsupporterstrust.co.uk/away-travel/4587475199 Sounds like a fantastic deal, and will be a great away day for all those taking up the offer. *Junior Trust members only £5, and a Junior Trust membership is free with an Adult Trust membership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 At 10am this morning there were already 88 booked with the Supporters Trust..... any update on that number?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinity1 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I am pleased that you had a good trip to Gainsborough Trinity on Saturday. Everyone is looking forward to the FA Cup game next weekend. The crowd could be around 1500. If you are driving to the match, then I suggest taking the A1 rather than the M1 and M18, as is on the Slough Town FC website. I suggest turning off the A1 at Newark and take the A46 towards Lincoln, then take the A1133 to Collingham - this links into the A156 to Gainsborough. This route is much quicker. There are lots of places to eat and drink in the town centre and Marshalls Yard, if you arrive early. Parking around the ground shouldn't be a problem, but follow any parking restrictions that you see, as the traffic wardens are very keen. Have a safe trip and see you on Saturday!
