Looks like it's Braintree

[P.W.]

[color:"blue"] Info hard to find any info, but seems (from Tonbridge forum) that Tonbridge were 2-0 down midway into 2nd half & not playing well. So it looks like we'll be Essex bound on 16th October.

That was the final score I believe.

Has Braintree still got that filthy goalie?

[Guest]

No. Current custodian is Danny Gay, who was with Hornchurch & played league football for Southend.

[Guest]

GAY!

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

You mean Paul Catley, dirty <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> no he plays for Maldon now in the Dr Martens. Danny Gay is the regular number 1 at the mo and Paul Rutherford was last years star in the Iron goal. Paul is waiting in the wings. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

But we have Peter Trego so there

Looking forward to your visit Margate fans. Can't help feeling that you should still be a Conference National side, but I won't open up that old wound!

 

Anyway a few questions for the 'Gate faithful -

 

1. how many of you likely to make the journey up to North Essex?

 

2. if we draw, where & when will the replay be?

 

3. just out of interest, what's happening at/to your old ground?

 

PS use the M25/M11/A120 a week on Saturday, avoid the A12.

[ooh!!bodyform]

1 hard to say how many would hope quite a few

2 cannot pre empt when the replay will be but the game would be played at homelands ground in ashford

3 at the moment nothing but have an important meeting to get the go ahead next week

Just read n NLP that Braintree have a Sodge-Steve.

[Cookie]

Just read their report on yesterdays game and Steve Sodje came on as sub. Is this one of the Sodjes that has passed through our ranks or is this yet another of the clan. Am sure he was here for a short while when Sam first came here. Maybe wrong though.Could someone help. Just interested thats all.

[P.W.]

[color:"blue"]Believe Steve was with us for a short trial (Margate FC History confirms this here)

But last time most of us saw him was the Kent Senior Cup final 2002-3 at Welling, when he came on as a sub & got sent off within half an hour.
