Despite not having huge crowds, The Shots actually have the 8th largest average home attendance in the league, one place above Woking (forever in our shadow).

For many years, I've always wished people put the same effort into league games as they do these cups.

Would transform our fortunes.
How do you work that one out?
23 games is an expensive slog for a casual punter. Compare that to a one-off local derby with the prize of a Wembley performance and you can see what appeals more.

Yet somehow only managed 1460 last night. MASSIVE

Also skewed by 5412 against us

Maybe we should add our season ticket sales onto our attendance like teams do ? Don't forget your yellow balloons on Saturday

We've stopped doing that now.

You can hardly deride yellow balloons when a large section of your fanbase have a lifelong commitment to sewing

Just seen why you referenced balloons. A bit tinpot to be fair

Let's hope it doesn't happen. And let's hope those from both sides who think fireworks are ok have a word with themselves. We're not too far away from someone getting hurt by these

You're all sounding incredibly confident ahead of saturday

In theory with everyone we have out or cup tied it should be a fairly simple 3-0 stroll for you, however.............

Always good to have Kingfield Ender around. Wonder if you're seeing what suits a helpful narrative for you because many of us will be feeling apprehensive about Saturday based on history and experience. Though unquestionably feeling more postive to have taken care now of the relegation threat, there's been no over-confidence on these pages all season, I promise you! It may be covered elsewhere (and on Cardsboard) but who is missing for you on Saturday, and what does the objective analyst in you predict is the likeliest outcome?

I think it's there to pop them all 😅
and Richard Walden puts the Shots 1-0 up against Man Utd
