Had a Gander at the Trophy Draw...

[&yB]

...and seen that the winners of the Replay with The Hawks get to visit SUTTON UNITED on Sat 11th Jan, just one week before we're due to have a League Game there. Deep Joy!

Oh and tell me didn't we have a wasted trip down to Gander Green Road in January last season all because they couldn't afford a bucket of sand for the pitch?

What do the rest of you think about the draw?

And you think we want to play you? We have a good home record on a Saturday, and if we play the way we are at the moment, we may win. See you there

There are some very interesting games in the next round:

Hereford Utd v Yeovil Town

Purfleet v Grays Ath

Dover Ath v Gravesend & Northfleet

I have been to Sutton four times in the last three years but only seen two games of football due to their poor pitch and bad organisation over calling games off. I am not therefore looking forward to travelling there two weeks running in January (should we of course triumph tomorrow).

[JaredSUFC]

Excuse me, but the reason the game was called off last season was because the pitch, like 99% of non-league pitchs that day, was to dangerous to play on. The year before was during that season when so many games were called off due to the weather, so i don't really know what your moaning about, if you can't play on the pitch because of the risk to serious injuries than you can't play on it.

P.S I heard that it was your manager who wanted the pitch inspection the other season (2000-2001)

It's not so much the fact that the games are off, we understand that. It's when. Seems to be about 2.30 usually, when there hasn't been any rain!! Also the reason was that you didn't have any sand to put on the pitch!! Those words came out of your Chairman's mouth.

 

Anyway, if we get through we will be there - with telescopes to see the pitch from the terraces!
