Could be better, but at least we are home. Both Histon and Corby will be tough opposition so we will do well to get through.

Very good draws for Rushall and Stourbridge

I hope it's Histon so we can get revenge for that 4-0 drubbing a few years ago!

Gives us a chance of a rare home FA Cup win.... purely selfishly, I'd have liked an away draw somewhere which would have enabled us to make a weekend of it, but in our section of the draw there weren't really many such options

it took me ages to find this out this morning i found it on some evo stik division one team's forum before it was on the fa's website

Just checked, looks like season-ticket-holders have to cough up some cash for this one

Don't let that put you off coming though!!

Corby-Histon replay tonight

http://www.nonleaguedaily.com/news/inde ... &nid=78976

Result follows... (when someone posts it!! )

Corby 1 up after half an hour

Half time 1-1

Full time 1-1. Going into extra time

Corby 2-1 up

Corby now 3-1 up, looks like it is going to be them then.

Full time 3-1 Corby in the next round

I think it was 3-1 after extra time.

Hi guys are away supporters allowed into your club house for a drink before the game, if not can you advise us as to best pubs nearby.
We will probably have appx 150 supporters 2 coaches plus cars travelling so should be a great atmosphere, do you think the game will be segregated.
Looking forward to what should be a really good game, at the moment i would not expect there to be much between the teams.
I am sure we will sing a few songs for Dan Crane who was a good keeper for the Steelmen.

Haven't yet heard of any proposals to segregate, I would think it won't be, but watch this space.... you'll be welcome in the bar at the ground before, during and after the game (we have the most attractive bar staff in non-league football), but if you want a pub or fish n chips, you should probably try the Cross Keys (8 minutes walk down the road, adjacent to the housing estate which was our former ground, but see below re food) or the Trocadero Fish Bar which is across the road from it.

Details here

If you want food don't go to the Cross Keys as they don't do any.
They do however, do a very good range of real ales, up to 8 at weekends.

Apologies, I stand corrected.... see, I don't go in pubs....



Looks like burgers, hot dogs and more burgers at Keys Park then

(where's that barbeque smiley gone?! )

Club bar will do for me thanks , hopefully no segregation either, makes for a better atmosphere.
Looking forward to a good FA cup day out.

Just to add Dave you will all be made most welcome at Keys Park as are all visiting supporters.

Hope you enjoy your stay with us but obviously not the result

I have been a couple of times before and enjoyed the day if not the results, maybe our turn for a win.

At least 3 threads about the game already, and it seems they don't like Chris Shaw....

Looking forward to visiting your ground Saturday, does your clubhouse have sky sports and if so what time does the clubhouse open?

Afraid not, long-running sore but I'm afraid we can't justify the cost for how infrequently we would have folks here to watch it.

You'll be able to watch Football Focus and the Korean GP Qualifying though!!




I think the answer to the second part of your question is "what time can you come?"
