We don’t have a great away record at Concord Rangers but luckily have a 100% win rate at home! Of course it’ll be another tight game but I would hope with home/pitch/support advantage will be another to see us through. Just a little concerning with squad avability and any further injuries could really hurt us. 

Agree about your concern on squad size and any further injuries especially if we continue fighting for the play offs and the trophy.

With due respect Adrian, that's why, especially in cup games, stats are pretty meaningless.

Cant agree with that There are always a few unexpected results that make the headlines and get attention but the majority of results do follow status and form especially in earlier rounds  of  cups

Does anybody know what the attendance was?

If we win this replay on Tuesday we will progress to the last 64 of this competition, would anyone like to have a guess at when we last achieved that?

Yes it will, and I’m predicting in the 500’s because... it’ll be a cold midweek game, against unattractive opposition, in the early rounds of a competition, it’s an all pay game plus they won’t bring any fans.

I think reaching 300 might be a struggle on a damp evening with only 201 at Saturday's match. Whether or not I have the time to go will be my issue, rather than having to pay the £9 admission.

Currently, anything from Home to Barnet to Away to Yate Town await the winner!

201

[Irishadrian]

So at least 25% Rebels on Tour on Saturday

[Reading Rebel]

Not sure how many in total but roughly 30 Rebels on the coach.

[Reading Rebel]

To put things in perspective Dulwich had an attendance of 972, Havant 385 and Maidstone 1,255.

Havant really get affected by no show season ticket holders their average gate for their first six league games was 1400 their first cup game 460  

They sold their STs at 99.99 up to the first league game on 3/8

and claim 800+ holders

[GlenSTFC]

These attendances just reinforces my prediction tomorrow night. There’s less interest in these early rounds against unattractive opposition. The weather will have a big effect too and with CL footy on it just impacts it even more! If we get above 550 I’d consider that good!

It doesn’t appear anyone is interested in having a guess.... so, as far as I can make out the last time we managed to make it into the last 64 was in the 2004/5 season, when we then continually progressed until being defeated in the semi-final.

[Windsor Rebel]

I thought we lost to Gravesend And Northfleet that season in the fifth round?

We were beaten 3-2 at Gravesend in the fifth round in 2004/5 season

[Windsor Rebel]

I know I was there!

[Curtis]

Apologies... I don’t know why I thought that was the semis, it was as you said, actually the last 16.

[GlenSTFC]

Not having much luck with these draws! Winners away to the winners of Dartford/Maidstone United.

[Curtis]

We've drawn at Maidstone & won at Dartford this season...... so is it that bad a draw??

Dartford are at home in their replay, and if I had a choice I would rather have to go there for a result than to Maidstone.

[Rebellier]

Would have been nice to maybe play a new team .

Don't care if we get through or not now....

[GlenSTFC]

Any team at our level isn’t a good draw in my mind. Was obviously hoping for a club a league lower or more. But I guess if we’re gonna win this trophy we have to beat some half decent teams...

Think you may be in the minority there. Crap draw if we get through but still beatable and it’s nearly £10,000 up for grabs over these 2 rounds.

[Rebellier]

I like to see cup competitions as a chance to explore the wider non league scene, and not fussed if the opponents are higher or lower level. JUST NOT SAME LEAGUE?
