PS Your comment seems to imply that the Ryman League Cup is of equal value as the FA cup I didn't say that ,you are making assumptions.Does everyone switch off their mobile phones during these sessions you speak of ? If not,count me out. Well saying that "cup exits last season seemed to be greeted with great joy" is a clear implication to me. Its nothing about being as clever or anything Billy - i'm happy to cut slack, but your question asking is always followed by a comment about how crap you thought we were last year, how much of "I paid a tenner to watch that rubbish" and some other comment which only comes across as negative. I, as well as many others on here, and the players and management are all more than happy to answer any questions, but do questions have to be followed by a dig about a game last season when we had a different team and they were not jumping through hoops whilst juggling fire and taming lions? Mobile phones did not have to be switched off last night. It was an informative and entertaining night for all concerned - when the notes from last night get published they should answer a lot of your questions, but one of them was for tomorrows cup game, Dos is putting out a full strength squad, and the aim is to win.

Right, i'll be there as there is no Cricket to watch. Speaking of mobile phones,i was sitting opposite a Sutton player on my way home from The Oval recently.
I had no idea who he was just that he was getting on my nerves talking inane drivel,loudly.I didn't say anything as he was so big i thought he might punch me if i did.
As we both got out at West Sutton and turned right he started banging on about "Margate on Saturday" and i realised.

3rd Qualifying. £7500 to the winners but, importantly, then only one more round until the Football League clubs join in. Money's nice but football, like all competitive sport, has to be about glory.

Bloody hell Billy for someone who played the game for a number of years, your knowledge of the FA Cup competition and its structure is absolutely appalling.

Correct ! I've only really been interested from the 3rd round onwards in the past. I went to the finals in 1976,1977,1979,1983 and replay and 1990 replay.

I went to the Final once with Sutton,1969 i think.South Shields or North.From memory Brian Joicey got both their goals but i'm sure you know all the details.
In those days Kenny Grose,Micky Mellows,Dave Hutchins and Keith Walden (with Millwall at the time) were neighbours of mine on the St Helier Estate.
