FA Youth Cup draws are made on Fridays at Noon closest to the closing round date of a competition week with draw made public by 1pm that day on FA website, so we are expecting 2nd Round Proper to be drawn and made public this Friday

Not so far I wonder whether the club might consider running a coach for interested supporters to attend?

Apart from Tony D ( who was commentating on Mixlr ), Matt Gray, Terry Bullivant and I, there were only about 100 supporters ( mostly parents for each of the 2 teams ), there !

If you mean "me" Mark, I don't get to that many away games these days, due to other commitments ( I have a job in the Chelmsford area that sometimes means I have to work there on a Saturday instead of football ), and haven't for quite a few years now, ever since we gained entry into the National League, before then, I would be at most away games, as the travelling was a "lot" less.

Indeed I did mean you.
Fair enough, you can't make long away trips. But by the same token, I expect many Sutton fans couldn't make Colchester for the Youth Cup match. Not least I suspect, because of how much it costs to travel away and perhaps also, the senior side go there next Saturday.
Bearing in mind you live in the same county as Colchester is, I am not sure digging out other fans for not being there is particularly chivalrous or even fair of you.

I wasn't trying to dig out other fans to be fair Mark, and sorry if that was the way it sounded, it was more of the fact that "suddenly" it was suggested we run a coach to an FA Youth Cup tie ( not by you ) when there aren't enough people using them to get to away First Team matches.
I would use them "if" I lived close, but as a journey to Sutton takes me at least 1 1/2 hours, it's just not practical for "me" personally

Link to detailsSadly I am missing the game as I am in Thailand ( which isn't sad) 30 degrees plus. The ground is very close and accessible for me typical the scheduling has caught me out
