We have done ok in this in the past, two ties from Wembley when narrowly losing at Macclesfield in the QF, so it is possible. BSP teams dont really care about this. Hopefully we get a good draw and the plays get the chance to go on a cup run. Not sure many of us really care about the County Cups, so this is the one left where we can earn some money and get some decent games, who know get near Wembley again. Is it played at Wembley this year after the Olympics hiatus?
Was going to say a Ryman team at home will do but probably best not to go there.

19Cray Wanderers or Arlesey Town 15:00Welling United
They replay at Arlesey
Could be a new ground, lets hope so. Arlesey is just north of Hitchin and Letchworth Garden City in Bedfordshire. Another great cup draw we need to take advantage of.
Arlesey are in the Evo Stik league, Cray we all know are in the Ryman Prem.

Actually i think if we play Arlesey Big Ben is suspended, if we play Cray hes available. Two week suspension from 26th Oct to Nov 10th so he would be back for selection on the 11th at Cray. Might get away with not missing a third (first team) game that way.

half the gate and the prize money would be decent and probably match what we would get from a normal home game!! Plus the chance of half the gate and prize money in the next round if we managed to win. Lower league team in a cup draw is a great draw whether home or away. We just need to be professional and not go through the motions.

I doubt if the club will see an away game as a great draw with the loss of sponsorship and bar taking opportunities.
Yeah that will cost the club all of £100!
Very good. At least £1.50 profit is made on every pint sold and as a barrel of real ale is drained at every home game (until Master Brew or Spitfire is there permanently) that alone makes over £100.
If sponsorship is obtained there would be more profit than will be obtained from half the gate away at this stage although Cray at Bromley on a Sunday may attract some floaters.
Hopefully we will get Our Lesley as its a new ground,im guessing to most of us..........plus crowd could be bigger as they will have FA Cup hanger ons (their away to Coventry)
Arlesey seem to be in decent form at the moment and have just won team of the month in their league. Replay with cray is tonight, i reckon we could well be going to the Amardillo stadium next Saturday.
Not the clubs fault Mark, have had a look....Its Pitchero who have put the date and believe it or not the website Admins cant change it!!
Have just tested a video on there as theyve done an update finally on the Video uploader... Its worked so will try and put tomorrows highlights on official site and see if it accepts that too but will be longer so not sure it will. Had a right palava with Pitchero over the videos they just said oh well we cant find why the videos wont work... and that was in pre season!!
