Staines swans washed out

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

looks like the rain may have cost staines dear - game called off due to rain

[Amber Rebel]

lets hope they get the replay televised instead although not guarenteed,its a shame havent they spent lots of money making improvements to the ground ?

[Tom]

Believe that was Horsham, they have to spend £15,000 iirc to upgrade their floodlights.

[Amber Rebel]

yes your right i got confused must be my age

[HorshamRebel]

Horsham have to pay around £15,000 to upgrade their floodlights. The £75,000 is what they get from Sky/FA for the game being televised live

[GarySTFC]

Staines also had to upgrade their floodlights in order for the match to be televised.

[mal316]

Apparently the opposition paid for the lights to be upgraded.

[Amber Rebel]

i think they went halves

The game is now live on Sky this Thursday [22nd] weather permitting of course!

[Tom]

FT (AET): 1-1. Winning 4-3 on penalties, 2 saved by Allaway.

 

At home to Peterborough in the 2nd

[Chris]

Did not see the 2nd half, but had to laugh in the second when Allaway put a goal-kick out for a throw-in and the camera went on him with him looking disgusted with himself. He normally has trouble kicking anyway, which is why he's probably still at this level. No suprise they won the shoot-out as he is a reallly good shot stopper as we saw during his time here.

 

Just hope that Robinson & Chima are not recalled for their game Sat, as they may well need some fresh legs.

Lots of praise for Allaway on the messageboards, and he won man of the match.

[Matt]

Deservedly so, as he made a string of great saves to keep them in it, and then saved two penalties. As Chris said, a great shot-stopper, but there has to be a reason he's still at this level, and it's probably his kicking. Wonder if a league club will take a chance on him now.

Am actually, secretly, a bit pleased for them - to get Peterborough at home is a great draw for the next round too... but if anyone's feeling a bit bitter about the former STFC keeper, this might make you laugh...

[Sue]

Much as I hate to say it because I really dont like him Allaway was definitely man of the match.

[BFR]

Yes well done to Staines for drawing with league opposition twice.

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

Well done to them. Although its bit gutting when a team like Staines (who despite the last 7 years i see as a lower level team) can do that and we go out in in pre qualifying.
