Steve Mckimm manager of Gravesend believes his side have very good chance of winning the Trophy this season.

Looking at leagues other clubs are in it is perhaps the easyist draw we could of had being at home as well.

Slough done well in the fa cup so it will be a game that we won't take lightly.

BRING IT ON UP THE REBELS

well just have to prove him wrong then!! i posted on their forum as an act of sportsmanship, ending with 'may the best team win'. the next post said 'that'll be us then'!!!! how rude! just have to show them what we are made of!

Dont worry about it, remember how confident walsall were and then Merson tried to stop his team thinking it would be a walkover and that didnt work.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

true true, we'll just have to try hard to claim a 4th higher league scalp!

[Mark44]

Im sure we can but the good thing about the trophy is most teams are better than us and we perform against higher clubs.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

well no harm in going out and trying, even if we have to defend the whole time, even if we scrape a draw or a scrappy odd goal win its all good!

To be honest chaps, what else can he say? From our point of view, the plain truth is a home draw against a side two divisions lower is the easiest draw we could have hoped for. And he's acknowledged your success in cups to date. Regardless of what the odd numpty says on our forum, we're well aware after struggling against Eastbourne and Histon that the game won't be a walkover, but the fact remains that if you're on top of your game and we're on top of ours, we are the more likely winners. That's not arrogance, that's simple fact. However, given our recent record it's entirely likely that you might well be better than us on the day, and we're fully aware of that.

Enjoy your day, but please don't spoil ours! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

fair point and well made, i looked at the website and they do acknowledge that we are not a sie to be underestimated...

[Chris]

Yeah he has a point, it's like Eddie saying when we played Croydon Ath 1st round in the fa cup round we should beat them as we are in a higher division. It's the obvious thing to say...

Just seen Walton lost 2-0 on pens against Stamford, so we are the last Ryman side left in the comp, and were the penultimate ryman side left in the fa cup comp - not bad for a team with no ground - some achievement!

[BFR]

And Stamford equalised in injury time

 

s the lot of them

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

So radders got golden goal AND it was scored by SPENCER, Jesus he must have been having multiple orgasms behind the goal when that went in.

[Martin]

Pretty much

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

God i hope Dom wasn't in the firing line as he was at Woody's house

[Dominic]

Great grammar and sentence construction there from Marcus...as usual!

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

But you didn't deny it!

[Dominic]

I have about 200 alibis for last night, if I remember correctly it was you that was nowhere to be seen last night!
