Great draw, they have a nice little ground at Rockingham Road. Will take about 1hr 45mins to get there.

Great draw for Manor good luck to them all.

And what a reward not a visit to Rockingham road but the even better prospect of playing at Neane Park the former ground of Rushden & Diamonds where Kettering now play their home games.

For those who havent been there the stadium is 1st class when Rushden were in the football league it was the best in league 2.

Better still, I didn't realise that The Poppies had moved out of Rockingham Road, It's been 10 years since I was last there.

Id say a crowd of 800-1200 is possible with Southend United away at Macclesfield that day if Manor get the rite promoting of the game im sure they could lure 100+ Blues fans to make the journey plus hopefully around 200 plus from the Southend area in general.

It really is a cracking set up.

What an achievement if they can get a result there, and after the way they played against Romford I wouldn't bet against them.

[Eastside Urchin]

It would be nice if they could take a large following up there but ryman prem sides don't even take those numbers away in the cup,think they will be doing well to take 75-100 fans to kettering
