PURFLEET AT HOME!!!!

[Guest]

I'm having none of that Thurrock nonsense!!!

 

Pretty bad draw.

[Barry Scott]

another home game and a chance to progress, that'll do

Better than away to Purfleet, i remember their weird little ground! When is the match?

[Guest]

On the official Ryman League Clubcall line today (and for the rest of the week), we speak Eddie Denton - manager of Slough Town who played a big match in the FA Trophy over the weekend. The interview can be heard by telephoning 09066 555 777 - calls cost 60p per minute.

What a shame they beat Aldershot---Shots at home would have been big crowd and big atmosphere

[Guest]

You're welcome to that tie. Our record against them is absolutely shocking. I think we've beaten them twice in about 20 attempts!

The FA site says these games are to be played 5th Feb. Windsor are due to be at home to Hampton that day. I guess our match will be on Sunday 6th?

Dreadful draw i reckon - aren't they full time? Third in the Conference south, with no fans. At least its at 'home' Did Aldershot put out a full strength squad? And if its on the 6th i can't make it.

As Marcus said, I'd rather play Thurrock at home than away - we can do without another trip to/loss in Essex. And if I'm being honest, I'd rather play Thurrock in a cuo match than travel to Yeading in the league, so bring it on.

 

So we haven't got a bit trip up north - and Thurrock are a very handy side, but the cups have been good to us this season, another home tie and if we want to progress in the Trophy we have to beat teams from a higher level. Bring it on I say

[Martin]

It is an extraordinary record we have in cup draws this season 8 out of 11 at home. Not a draw that would have been anywhere near my top five wish list but we have a chance. I wonder if Thurrock will even put out a full strength side. With the introduction of the play-offs the trophy has become less of a priority for many sides.

[Guest]

No, Thurrock are not full time but we are a very good side with a tasty away record. Looking forward to it already.

[Martin]

Should be a good game as our home record is not too shabby. Obviously your going to be hot favourites but we will just have to wait and see.

[Radders]

If the game is played on the Sunday, that could be a positive as Sky Sports News showed highlights of Sunday's 3rd Round matches in the Sunday evening report shows. Could be a bit more TV coverage even if it is only the goals it's still publicity.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

should be a good game, we seem to do quite well against higher league opposition
