Bit rich from them considering they wouldn't move the League match in November back 24 hours when we played Wrexham in the cup... You reap what you sow.

Lee Sinnott Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Getting ahead of myself here. But the weather isn't great and isn't forecast to get much better before Saturday. Think if it's off on Saturday, the Wealdstone game will be rearranged... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Pain in the arse this competition. Just realised if we get through, the Barnet game is going to be postponed. Planned a trip to London to see family and also to go the Barnet game. I might actually have to see family if we get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Tic Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 It is a pain in the arse, feels like no sooner do we establish some kind of “rhythm “ it’s interrupted by something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlemoor Lad Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Wealdstones game's off tonight because their pitch isn't up to it and I'd bet on it being the same a whole week later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time it gets to knowing whether or not we will be playing Barnet that weekend, the prices will probably be sky high... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchierich Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Also the Eastleigh game in March would be re arranged if we get that far in the Trophy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1onheartNew Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Ok, let's just say the game is on, and if this hasn't been asked already, does anyone know if the game is being streamed anywhere? If it isn't, I will get up and watch the Dorking game again. Don't tell me what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly confident we can get a London side in the next round, if we get that far, as the draw shouldn't be regionalised. I'm certain now as this round's draw wasn't regionalised, nevermind next round's draw. FWIW for our game against Barnet to be on we need Barnet not to qualify too - they've got Solihull Moors at Solihull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's not regionalised as Darlington are playing Southend this round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100milesaway Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Me and my Newcastle/ Darlington supporting mate had decided that Gateshead was just about as far to travel ( from Leyburn ) in an early round of the FA trophy, so had planned to visit the Gateshead stadium to watch Latics. However, the change of venue to BP is a bridge too far. Well twice as far as travelling to Gateshead actually. Another factor is, that my 75 year old eyes are not good enough to watch a game from behind the goals, it seems to be a hell of a long way to the other goal, so the Jimmy Frizzell stand won't do, nore will the chance of sitting in the rain in The Joe Royle stand, ( do you sit in, or out of that stand ? ) I like to sit IN the main stand, which will keep me dry. But of course that's not an option on Saturday. So, I will settle for sitting in our house instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpo Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 The chance of getting wet in the Joe Royle Stand is overstated. When I used to go in there a few rows from the back, it would have to be a during sudden gust to even get a vague splash. And as most people will be paying on the gate, you can always go and pre-purchase a ticket right now for one of the upper rows of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had been playing Dorking at home on Saturday, people in the North Stand would have got wet. I got wet the first game I ever watched from there (Mansfield in the cup, just after it opened) I was sitting in the really posh seats too. It is more undercover than the old Lookers stand - you used to get drenched sitting anything further forward than the 3rd row from the front in heavy rain (the 5-0 against Forest springs to mind). But it is not as undercover as the Main Stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in there for the Mansfield replay, a few of us went and sat in the 100 club seats, a steward came along and said we couldn't sit there, the game was about 20 minutes old and these seats were not being used, needless to say the steward got told to go and f*** himself.
