So an average let’s say 70, apparently there were 141 there last night.

Probably including Bakes and Unders, plus any other Rebels?

Neil was there. I'd say about 30 Slough fans were in attendance last night from what I saw

Bakes only there last night.

Apparently there was a behind closed doors friendly with H&Y last night.

Parking for about 20 cars in total other than that it's only street parking, obviously not ideal.

O dear, local residents are going to ? us on the 21st

[GlenSTFC]

Yes parking will be a nightmare and there’s no nearby station. Hopefully FH can do a deal with local schools/businesses to use their car parks?

And also disrespectful, I think. Their right to a home tie shouldn't be taken away. Surely Wilks Park can cope with a crowd of about 500 people - not sure I would expect many more. It cannot be as bad as Hanworth Villa!

I'm not sure how it's disrespectful, apparently all this switching the game talk has come from the F/Heath chairman/management.

You could understand switching if they were playing Wycombe and the potential for a 1-2,000 crowd but surely their ground can come with 5-600? Sure they’ll need stewards, more staff but all doable you’d think. Also it’s not like switching it to Slough would guarantee double or triple the crowd, I suspect we’d get a similar crowd to what it will be at FH.

The pitch will be the leveller (shame it actually isn’t!). It’s definitely a banana skin of a match IF we’re not in for the whole match. We obviously have superior quality and I’m going for a 3-1 win. I think those rumours of switching are pub talk and I’m sure it’s not even allowed anymore.

Switching does take away the romance of the FA cup.

Berkhamsted 1 Slough 3 Att 366

I wouldn’t be surprised if the result & attendance were very similar.

[Neil Baker]

The game will 100 per cent be at Wilks Park.

I would expect us to travel in bigger numbers than Berkhampsted if honest, as closer, and in reality we get bigger crowds now.

The Fa Cup is always exciting and brings people out, especially when playing sides you don’t usually play, so I would be surprised if we didn’t take 350-400, being away will probably have more interest than if we were at home.
