Thankfully Truro are out of the way.

Nice local derby would be the perfect draw but the way our lucks gone in previous seasons it's bound to be another side from the NLS.

As we missed them in the cup, perhaps Dartford away🙈🙈🙈

A tough draw away at Hanwell.

A very winnable tie (cue the line ‘every match is a tough one’…) and with nearly £4000 on offer it’s absolutely vital we win this. Plus being a local game plenty of support for us and we should outnumber their support.

[Reading Rebel]

Not drawn against another NLS club and close enough to call it a derby game against a club from a division below us so we can't have any excuses or quibbles on that front.

So yes, on paper a winnable game but on closer scrutiny at their league and cup record this season I think it's fair to say Hanwell are a decent side and are having a very good season with some notable wins in the league and only going down 2-1 at home to Ebbsfleet in the FA Cup. 

So just for Glen, this is one tough game 😏

Just stop that negative talk right now! If us fans can’t be positive what hope do the players have??!! Come on let’s go and smash them and draw Dartford in the next round…

Just taking the rose tinted specs off and looking at the facts which I'm sure our managers will be doing with the players.

[Reading Rebel]

Of course the old home of Mr Pruti and a club our managers are very familiar with.

Trust me Glen, having seen Hanwell a couple of times this season, it's a tough draw.

I know I was just trying to avoid what seems to be every game is a tough one! Which obviously isn’t correct otherwise the league table would be alot tighter/closer than it is!

[rebelbrewer]

Saw the Ebbsfleet FA Cup game. Ebbsfleet were never in any real danger but Hanwell had a proper crack at them and will against us too, I'm sure. We should win it but will have to play to our potential.

Tough as in no game is easy even if you're playing a team that are below you or a team that's at the bottom of the division like Weymouth.

Hanwell's home league attendances this season have ranged between 221 to 457.

Always possible but doubtful that we'll outnumber their support.

[Reading Rebel]

Didn't Scott Davies go to Hanwell on loan and helped them get promotion?

I’d bet all the higher crowds were against teams who brought big away numbers? Surely we can take at least 200 to a team just 14 miles away and a very easy journey to make.

[SloughFlyer]

Hugo Sobte (Hanwells keeper for the last few years) broke his leg yesterday in a collision with another player.

I know FA Cup crowd money is shared between the clubs but does this apply to the FA Trophy too? Hopefully it is as it’ll be a welcome cash boost for the club as you would like to think we could take 250 fans considering it’s so close.

Don't know for sure Glen but very possibly.
