Hopefully won't follow someone who's had the nepalese curry

Other curries are avaliable

Would have loved watching Tony Curry in the red and blue

Was it not spelt "Currie"?

I saw Tony Currie play for Sheff Utd at the rec!! 1970 The Watney Cup. Shots obliterated 6-0!! Actually got his autograph after the game. He signed after my brother lied and said we were big Sheffield fans after he asked us who we supported! I was actually hoping the Shots would win as we'd have got Cloughs Derby in the next round (semi final)

Ahead of Saturday's Isuzu FA Trophy Semi-Final with Woking, we must urge supporters to arrive much earlier than usual. With extra security checks in action and a sold out crowd, it will take much longer than usual to enter the EBB Stadium.

Turnstiles will open at 11am and there will be extra security checks both inside and outside of the Stadium. There will also be specific turnstiles in the home end for each area of the ground as follows:

Turnstiles 1-4 for South Stand and Mike Pusey Community Stand
Turnstiles 5-8 for East Bank
Turnstiles 9-10 for North Stand

Can foresee a few problems here. From past experience of big crowds many fans will join the WRONG queue. The club will need to have stewards outside the ground ensuring fans are in the right line and direct them if not. Fans will always arrive late and just before kick off and long queues will mean they cannot see the turnstile signage.
Also surprised the turnstiles do not open at least another 30 minutes earlier as this will help with congestion and if fans are in the ground they may make additional purchases thereby improving income.

Absolutely no way Theo should start!

I worry about Theo being in the side under normal circumstances but do we trust him to control himself in this sort of atmosphere?

He will start for sure but if he gets a yellow I'd get him off . He thinks he gets grief now . Well getting sent off Saturday at 0 0 he will be in all sorts of grief if it costs us the game

Can’t remember, doesn’t really matter does it when you think about it

Three days to go and the matchday thread is already two pages long .....

Did I read that in the event of a draw, it's straight to penalties and no extra time?

That's not right is it?

Yes, it's only the final that goes to extra time potentially and only then penalties

[Ian M]

Skybet have an option "win on penalties" for Saturday's game on their site. Why would they have that if no extra time Saturday?

[Alex]

As someone has previously mentioned.

Saturday goes straight to penalties if it’s a draw.

The final would be extra time then penalties.

Because they know f all about non league football

[Aldershot]

A repeat of this would be nice!

That does make sense

Yawn!

Yep, give the guy a break now. From what I've read on here he has raised his game in the last few matches. Criticize his performance after you've seen it, not before. The players need positivity before the big game
