Field the youngsters for both with possibly one or two squad members - no sense picking up further injuries ahead of our league and Cup fixtures unless, of course, the match is all-ticket at Maidstone and we can boost the County Cup attendances by flogging the FA Cup match tickets at those games! It will also mean that the Maidstone scouts will have to pop up to Southport to have us watched whereas we can have two spying trips when they are at home to Leiston on Saturday and home again to Leatherhead on Tuesday - both in the league which they lead so they will have to field good sides and put the effort in. Unless, of course, Tuesday's match is cancelled - although unlikely on a 3G pitch!
I'm not usually one to complain about ticket prices, as I don't think £15 is unreasonable for Conference football at all. However...£10 to see Welling reserves vs Tonbridge reserves is far too much
