[GlenSTFC]

Not the kind draw I wanted, this will be a toughie! ?

We played twice at Hendon last year in a pre season tournament (though not actually playing Hendon themselves).

 

Not the greatest places in the world with limited parking. They have a 3G pitch but last time we went there it was in pretty poor shape and had not been looked after properly.

See it as similar to the Dorking tie in terms of quality - except that we're away. No reason not to believe in ourselves though.

 

Have very fond memories of some great cup ties against Hendon over the years - one that went to 2 replays with Terry Brown scoring the eventual winner.

I think you mean Dulwich rb.

Blimey , that really would clog our fixture list up !

As Glen quite rightly put it, it's a toughie.  

 

Hendon, like us are in form and have the Bostik Premier divisions top scorer in Niko Muir with 13 goals. They are near the top of the Bostik premier so should be a good game between two good in form teams.

Our game is in the midst of 10 consecutive home games, got be some sort of record? That must also really affect their attendances.

Since you asked, Hendon's attendances are pretty modest with an average of 242.

so I do, whoops

[Reading Rebel]

Hendon's home league form is pretty good with 7 wins from 8 games played.

[C'est la vie]

Interesting to see that we have beat the 1st and 2nd placed teams in the Bostik Pemier division. Just goes to show what a good team we have. COYR

[GlenSTFC]

Although certainly with Folkestone they weren’t that high when we played them.

I know it was a friendly but 3rd as well

Looking forward to renewing rivalries - don't think we've met competitively since the league restructure in 2004. Got the potential to be a cracking cup tie.

 

There's been some improvements to SJP since you came for the pre-season tournament, and the pitch has been playing well this season so far.

We had a few seasons in the Ryman Premier after the restructure

[Curtis]

From our club web-site opposition database we have played them in 59 competitive matches dating back to 1951.

 

The overall head to head to W20 D17 L22 GF78 GA79.

 

In the last six meetings during 2005, 6 & 7 Hendon have won 4 and drawn 2.

 

It’s about time we notched up a win against them.

The coach to Hendon on Saturday is now full.

[Stan]

Is that the small one or a full size one ?

[A Rebel and a Saint]

Full size coach, so 53 seats.

[Reading Rebel]

On the Hendon site there is a video of their 3-3 draw with Dulwich with the leagues top scorer Nico Muir getting two goals.

 

Have to say they do look a real attacking threat.
