Tonight's match

[Hempstead Gaz]

Going to be bloody freezing. Hope they are selling hot bovril at the van.

I wonder if Liam will ring the changes after Saturday.

My feeling is that he will, as although there is money to be made - the cup we really need to do well in is the Trophy.

Don't expect the gate to be more than 600.

 

My team selection:

Mott

Pooley Murray Charles Hawkins

Shakes Slatter Hand Long

Ibe Moore

 

Subs Cronin, Ricketts, Barrett, Delicate, Purcell

 

ps, as I write this freezing rain and sleet have just started here in the Capstone Valley.

[mikefleet]

i think lance will start in goal,

 

macca back in the middle instead of murray.

 

[Hempstead Gaz]

Will Macca risk his dodgy back in a low key game on a slippery pitch?

I think Liam does have to use his squad in games like this - especially as KSC games are so few and far between.

[Jeff]

Macca won't play tonight. We do need him though.

 

I think you may be about right on the attendance Gary. There were 300 odd at Eastbourne so it's an improvement on that at least.

 

My sources tell me that the Destiny Train will be fairly empty on its run down to Stonebridge Road this evening. They only took 42 to Rushden for the first round.

Posh Chat'am..LOL

Was at Frankie Boyle's gig last month, and his support act (Martin Bigpig - a Norn Iron version of Billy Connolly) asked the locals from Chatham what they called themselves - "Chavs" was the unanimous reply!

It is more than one step up from Riverview Puke!!

[Gally221263]

Cronin or French will start in goal, Mott has joined Croydon on loan again. Do you think there will more than the 277 hardy souls who turned up for Dover last week?

[Alan W (GNFC)]

Think we should have at least one PASE lad on the bench - West and/or Callender who were on the bench against Dover could use the opportunity well.

[eufckev]

Apparently, neither Michael Bostwick or Andy Drury are playing tonight.

[joshyv]

Don't mention rivervire in that terrible way :)

[Alan W (GNFC)]

Also out tonight, by the sounds of it :-

 

"Top striker Steve Morison is almost certain to miss tomorrow night's Setanta Shield cup tie at Ebbsfleet after damaging ankle ligaments on Friday morning."

 

Taken from the Stevenage message board.

 

[joshyv]

Wooo

[Alan W (GNFC)]

And Stevenage's other message board suggests that Boylan is also out.

[joshyv]

Hopefully this is right, we might have a good chance.

[Digitalis]

I've ordered some thermals! There's a great new gadgetty material called heattech. Check out the uniqlo site here for t-shirts etc. too.

 

Be like the Barrow boys and wear next to nothing in the freezing cold.

 

The little kiosk is open tonight, selling jacket potatoes with cheese, beans, coleslaw or chilli, pies pasties and sausage rolls. Tea coffee and cappuccino but no bovril We'll get some for next match. Hopefully the catering van has some.

 

 

[Stu M]

Starting line up: Cronin, Opinel, Slatter. Charles, Purcell, Hand, Murray, Long, Pooley, Moore, Ibe.
